I've been loving the trend for the knitted Emotional Support Chicken™️ by Annette Corsino so much that I had to make my own version but being me I thought I'd give it a vintage twist.
If you'd like to make your own vintage Emotional Support Duck you can buy the pattern in my Ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/s/78...

I remember my husband's cousin who is a programmer saying that they have rubber ducks at work, they talk to them if they can't find a mistake and during this 'conversation' they most often find what they did wrong, so maybe that could be Douglas the Yelling Duck's life mission, to listen to you while you try to find where you made a mistake in a project? And I think the eyes don't make him look too modern, he still looks vintage and very charming.

@armedvsokord 6 месяцев назад

My husband is also a programmer and I'm learning as well. It's totally a thing. You explain to your "duck" or sometimes a person and realize that you missed a comma or made a spelling error or something else silly. It's very helpful.

@Noel.Chmielowiec 6 месяцев назад

@@armedvsokord Nothing makes you realise your mistakes like saying out loud what you did 😂 I did it while playing with Linux, I did it while sewing and I'm doing it while knitting. 9/10 times no one knows what I'm talking about but they're glad they could help 😂 But having the ducky is better, no one will judge you, the ducky wouldn't ever judge.

I chuckled at your "yarn duck" joke! And the duck absolutely looks vintage - many modern patterns pride themselves on the resemblance to animal in question but vintage patterns have no such regard so the proportions always look a bit skewed and I love it.

@amykathleen2 6 месяцев назад

When my cousin’s daughter was very young (from around 18 months to 3 years), she had two major obsessions (well, three if you include cheese): chickens - or as she called them, bawk-bawk-ies - and bags. Having absolutely no money at the time, I found a pattern online for a crochet chicken-shaped coin purse which I made from yarn scraps and a zipper rescued from a destroyed purse. I remember finishing it on the airplane and getting a lot of really strange looks. But she loved having a bawk-bawk-y bag!

@shastahill 5 месяцев назад

Wonderful gift and memory!

@KristenStieffel 6 месяцев назад

The bottom bit coming out two different weights because of the yarns is *exactly* the kind of thing that would happen to an auntie knitting a gift from her stash during the war. And safety eyes don’t look that different from boot buttons, which could have been used on stuffies back in the day. Excellent work!

@heidiclarke2333 6 месяцев назад

Normally i avoid things that are trending not yet knitted a ranunculus! But knew my son's girlfriend would love a chicken, so i knitted a pink one for her for Easter it was received with love😊.

@PatBall-v8q 5 месяцев назад

Same here - ranunculus doesn't seem that impressive to me but - THIS DUCK!!!. I've knit 2; one for me, one for a gift. I could keep knitting them because they use so much left-over yarn from my stash and the result is so colorful. That's why I think they are catching on. Now we don't have to feel guilty about that extra skein of expensive yarn we bought and can't return.

@FaerieDust 6 месяцев назад

A significantly cheaper stuffing option, at least where I live, is to just get one of IKEA's cheapest pillows (Sandgräsmal is the cheapest they have in Sweden). Exactly the same stuff as what's sold as stuffing in craft and yarn shops, but it was just over 70% cheaper when I calculated the price/weight. Anyway, I love these! I wonder if I could modify one of these patterns for my toddler niece who adores magpies and crows. No one knows why - she's 15 months old, crazy about birds in general, and crows and magpies in particular.

@norasutherlin1115 5 месяцев назад

There is something magical about a knitted chicken. A few years ago, while sick with Covid, I knit two from Claire Garland's Hen pattern and they are delightful. They sit on my desk at work and everyone loves them! You've really tempted me with the Emotional Support Chicken pattern as I think it would be faster to make..... If you're ever looking for more cute scrappy stash busting plushies, I highly recommend Plod the African Flower Triceratops by Heidi Bear. It's crochet and eats up yarn scraps. I'm making my fourth one right now with handspun yarn leftovers and I am not tired of it yet!

@matthodek 6 месяцев назад

Oh goodness I love Douglas! When I was younger I was on occasion referred to as Matthew Mallard. I don't (yet?) know how to knit, so maybe I will have to come up with an equivalent sewing pattern to make my own emotional support duck. I have some duck figurines that were my dad's, but they aren't exactly cuddly... For the record, I laughed at both the yarn duck joke, and then again for you apologizing for it. It was a good pun. Great video all around. Take care! 🦆

Once again I have no idea about these online trends like the Harry Styles cardigan until you make a video about it…and I’m about your age 😆 I had fun knitting fruits and veggies for my nephew’s pretend shop last birthday. If you enjoy knitting small pieces, you could start some small foods for the children in your life. There’s sooo many on Ravelry, and lots of them are free, or I found Susie Johns’ book of 20 veg and one of 20 fruits at the library which started the whole thing 😅 It was quite fun, plus I enjoyed seeing people’s confusion when they asked what I was knitting, and I’d reply “A tomato” or something 😝

I’m 65, and the first memory of polyester fiberfill is 1976 when I sewed myself a large teddybear for my 18th birthday. When I was a child, pillows and stuffed animals were stuffed with kapok (KAY-pock). It was a real problem because it was not washable. If you washed kapok, it flattened out and lost all its fluff. It was a plant fiber, kind of like stuffing Life vests with milkweed pod seeds.

@lyannecb8499 6 месяцев назад

I say kay-pok rather than kah-pok, as that's what my mum says 😊. I do prefer modern toy stuffing though, as it's washable and kapok isn't, and if I'm making soft toys, they're for young children. I use quilting safety pins to put knitted garment pieces together before making up, or crochet squares together so I can make sure they're in the right order and the right way up. Pinning the duck pieces together first might help work out how it all goes together? I love the curved quilters safety pins for knitting and crochet as they can't come out of my work till I undo them, but the curve makes them easy to find and remove when I want to.
