You should also be prepared to play with ping pong balls and pipe cleaners, and do a little light sewing.

DeleteOmg! My life is complete now!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these guys!!!!!
Hi Carissa! Are these available for sale?! I absolutely love them and would love to be able to purchase a few!
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not make and sell the finished product. The patterns are free though, so you're welcome to find a knitter or crocheter near you who'd be willing to work on commission. Or you could learn to knit or crochet yourself. They're both super fun crafts!
DeleteI love these! I am almost finished with my first one.
ReplyDeleteCan I get 2 from a skein of the yarn?
Thank you!
Each of my original samples used about 200g of the 300g skein, so no, I don't think you'd be able to get 2 out of a single skein, unless you modified the pattern to make them a little smaller.
DeleteI always find your blog very interesting. Thanks for the share
ReplyDeleteFirst time crocheting and I find that my rows don’t meet up. The next row is always one higher. Am I supposed to “join” each row even though it doesn’t say that?

I've been crocheting 50 years and I'm stumped. In round 31 if you do not turn at the end of round Thirty are you now working down along the edge of the mouth???
ReplyDeleteI am stumped on row 30 and 31. It says do not turn at the end of row 30 but if i dont then will i continue around to the other side and then do row 31. any help would be appreciated
ReplyDeleteSame and I came here for answers :( Do I cut and tie off at the end of row 30 and start row 31 where I left the stitch marker? Can someone please help?
DeleteDid anyone ever receive an answer on this or does the publisher just not keep up with these questions or comments? I know how to read patterns, but 30 (at the do not turn) and 31 makes zero sense. If I don't turn then I am working down the side. Yet 31 is working the same area as 30.
DeleteHi. I am trying to make my own yip yip, but I am finding impossible to keep the bottom flat, instead I make a conical shape. Any tips? Thanks

ReplyDeleteHi! I made these a while back, but I don’t remember how to make a sc in a slip knot.
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble with the inside facing. It seems to be very hard to understand. I asked several people and they also had trouble figuring it out. Measurements do not fit and where does the angled part go once it’s in. I’ve looked on line and everyone has left it out. I think it looks so much better with it in. It doesn’t look finished. I’m determined to figure this out so I can give grandkids for Christmas. Can you help?
