@gentleemperor
Hey Pengu! How you been? It’s been weeks since I last got to talk to you :’) I miss you so so much! ❤️
Also I challenge you to a game of connect 4 😀
@tidyHickory3283 I miss you too! 💖
I've been alright. Haven't been on Cups as much after my suspension hehe.
How have you beeeen?
Okie! You startttt. 🌟
(Sorry for the late replyyy. I didn't see the notification. 🥲)
@gentleemperor
Penguuuu!!!!! I am so glad to see the notification that you messaged!!!!! It made me so happy! I missed you so so much!
If it’s alright to ask, what caused your suspension :0
and will you be applying to become an atl again :0
I have been ok! Sometimes life is good sometimes it isn’t. Also I started crocheting and now I can’t stop :D
Yay okie!
@tidyHickory3283 Aww I've missed you too soo much!
I don't knowww if it's a good idea to tell you on the forums xD
I haven't made an effort to getting my roles back :') Not sure if I will. I do miss talking to a couple of people so maybe I'll consider getting it back. We'll see.
That's fair. Hope you get to experience more of the good than the bad!
And yayyy crocheting :D I loveee it! Did we talk about it?
@gentleemperor
haha it’s ok! If and when you become atl and if we still remember it then you can tell me in chats (I am really curious sorryyyyy)
aw it’s ok. I get it how a suspension can be disheartening.
i hope you do! I miss talking to you. But it’s ok if you don’t. I am turning 18 in October so we will get to chat 1 on 1 in 10 months anyway. (But fact is it will be exactly 1 year of us not getting to talk properly because you missed my 17th birthday as well so it will be around that time that we last talked.
aw Thank you! I hope so too!
No we didn’t! I started in November end.
@tidyHickory3283
I'll tell you for sure. Its not a secret I just feel like I shouldn't say it on the forums lol.
I miss talking to you too! Im glad you're turning 18 fairly soon and will move to the adult side 😈 Aww, but one year of not talking properly is long. 🥲 Happy belated very birthday!!!
Ohhh, so what kind of thingsss do you crochet? What made you start?
@gentleemperor
lol it’s ok. I understand
Yus but I am scared 🥲 turning 18 sounds so serious like I will be an adult and I am not at all ready to be an adult. It’s like just yesterday I was 13-14 and now I am suddenly turning 18 😳
A year is so long but I g we have no other option :’) Thank you!!!
Till now I have crocheted mesh arm sleeves, mesh crop top, sleeveless high neck sweater, a skirt is half complete, 4 amigurumi hearts. I used to see crochet posts on here and it got me really interested so in November I gave in and decided to try it out and with careful planning I asked my mother to buy me the supplies (if I had asked out of nowhere then it would have been sus as to how I suddenly got to know about crocheting and want to try it out) and at first I couldn’t crochet even the basics but with practice I got it and now I enjoy crocheting so so much!
@tidyHickory3283
Aww, well I guess you legally get more freedom/responsibilities when you turn 18 in most places but I would say that not that much changes over the day. You'll do awesome as an 18 year old though! But yes, you were so smol when we started talking. Can't believe you'll turn 18 so soon!
Ohh that's pretty cool 😍 I've mostly crocheted amigurumis so I don't know how to do clothes 😮 You'll have to teach me and showww meee. I'm so glad that you found it and that your mom agreed to get you the supplies. So you taught yourself?
@gentleemperor
In India, turning 18 doesn’t mean anything xD parents still control our lives, for us it’s just another birthday turning older lol. I agree that not that much changes over the day, but just thinking that you are 18 years old now feels heavy. Like suddenly you are pressed under a huge block of weight. I can’t seem to be able to explain. It’s kind of psychological.
Yeah we started talking on 28th October 2022 (we started on this forum itself so I scrolled to see the date xD seems like the date this forum was created was the date we met lol) which was 9 days after my 16th birthday. Which means we get 1.5 years ago. That’s a long time! It feels just yesterday I was thinking about the fact that I get to celebrate my sweet 16 on here and now suddenly 18 is approaching. Where did my 16th year of life fly by?!?!
Thanks! Oh wow 😮 You never told me you crocheted 🧐 I would love to teach you how to crochet clothes 😀 It’s pretty easy tbh, I just work my logic and boom I have a top ready 😛
I am happy about that too! Otherwise I would have just kept wondering how it could have been if I wasnt given the supplies. I am YouTube taught 😉 So yeah it’s basically self taught. What about you? Did you teach yourself and how and when did you get into crocheting
@tidyHickory3283
Aww lol hehe. But I get that how it can feel heavy. Hope you'll manage okay and won't be under too much pressure. 💕

Waittt whattt 😮 That's a looong time agooo. Ohhh and that is 2 days before my birthday xD So our birthdays are kinda close then! Mhm, I remember that you were 15 and was kinda surprised that you said that you'll turn 18 this year already lol. Time flies by so fast. D:
Hehe okieee, perhaps we can decide on a project together? I think I wanna do something easy/small. I mostly do amigurumis because they're adorable but also small and works up quickly.
Ohh okayyy, so YouTube self taught :D That's impressiveeee! My mom taught me the basics yearsss ago, perhaps when I was 9 maybe? But after that I've been reading books and websites on how to crochet amigurumis specifically. Lately YouTube has been helpful but there wasn't that much crocheting on YouTube when I was smol. I did take a long break from crocheting though, between ages of 12 and 23 xD.
@gentleemperor
Pengu is everything okie 🥺
@naturalDreamer7328 I'm okieee. How have you beeen? 💕
@gentleemperor
I have been fine! Just came across the post of Tidy trying to contact you so I joined in xD
@naturalDreamer7328 lol I was trying to remember whether we've talked before xD Glad that you've been doing fine and I'm happy that you joined in!
@gentleemperor
haha it’s oki! I did after all message in a way that it would seem that we have talked before xD
@gentleemperor
I hope so. Maybe I will manage just fine.
Really long time! How come I don’t remember wishing you :0 I think it was because we discussed birthdays a while after we met and then in 2023 October we weren’t connected. Yup only 11 days apart! I was not 15 :0 I had recently turned 16. If I had told you I was 16 then maybe I hadn’t transitioned in my 16 year old era yet and confused the age. Time got some fast wings 🪽
Thing is that the 2010 borns will be turning 14 this year. It’s so scary to think about 💀 like how is it possible?!?! Weren’t they supposed to be 9-10??????
Omg yess!! We should definitely collaborate on a project!! I started learning to crochet by crocheting clothes lol The unfinished skirt is my first official piece. How about some fingerless gloves :0 or cute little whale? If you have any suggestions let me know! I agree, amigurumis are definitely super adorable. I have too many amigurumi patterns saved lol
Thanks! Ooo interesting. I saw so many young crocheter online, saw people commenting how they started crocheting at the age of 7, 8, 9 and I was like damn that’s so young! By my age they will have learnt so much and made so much and probably have a professional business. So jealous of them. YouTube and I g is my go to for everything lol But I am thinking of checking out google as well. Who knows I might find free patterns that I can’t else where. During your smol time, Internet was a privilege thingy so I can understand xD I was in that era as well until pandemic hit and I was given access 😀
Such a small break of 11 years 💀 What made you restart and did you remember everything or had to learn again or just brush up on your skills and looks like you (re)started last year as well.
@tidyHickory3283
Yeah probably didn't wish me happy birthday because of those reasons. Oh okay xD maybe you got confused or my memory is lacking.
Haha that's crazy, for me people born 2010 should be like... 2 lol. But they're turning in just 4 years D:
Ohh a skirt :0 Sounds like a pretty big project for your first one! Ohh what about bothh fingerlesss gloves and a whaleee. But we can start with the gloves maybe? I likeee your suggestions sooo ehum, don't have any of my own at the moment hehe.
Mhm! It's pretty cool to see so many picking up that interest now! Aaand yes, I use those two platforms for most of my inspiration and patterns too but I know there are many other places you can find patterns. I mean, I had pretty much free access to the internet from the age of... maybe 8 or 9? But there just wasn't as much information out there - or harder to find and I mostly search for stuff in my native language at that age HEHE.
I don't knoww. Probably got influenced by seeing stuff on social media. Or I remember talking about knitting with my friend but I started crocheting instead xD I can knit, but I'm better at crocheting. I mostly had to brush up my skills and I think I've learned a couple of new stuff but I still remembered the basics. I think I've crocheted something small during those 11 years, but not multiple projects in a row.
@gentleemperor
Lol oldie is showing her oldiness xD
lol that’s crazier, that’s wayyy too in the past. Maybe u can be thankful I wasn’t born that wayyyy back otherwise I would have been thinking the same as you xD
I don’t even know what is causing this time lapse. It seems like everyone is going through it. I wonder if the pandemic somehow affected it but then there were no pandemics in 2012 for you to think they should be 2 year olds.
I agree. I am thinking of frogging it. To make something else out of the yarn or to make a better skirt (this one is a bit too frilly, like abnormally frilly) but then it being my first every project, I can’t find it in myself to frog it. There is a pocket shaped piece lying, I was trying to make a rectangle xD And I haven’t frogged THAT and have instead cut off the yarn and tied the ends then you can only imagine how I wouldn’t like to frog the skirt.
Ooo we can definitely do both!! Okkk I have looked up some tutorials and I found some greats ones. I didn’t find the exact thing that u have in my mind so we would have to combine multiple tutorials. Lol it’s ok. Next time you suggest
Yeah! That way the grandma stigma might get reduced too! Oh wow that’s pretty young! In all these years I am pretty sure you must have found some good websites for patterns and tutorials. Lemme know!!! Lol that’s what happens when English is not your first language. I didn’t know Internet in those times was advanced enough to have languages other then English :0
Social media influences us a lot xD It’s influencing me to buy some patterns because they are so cute! And I don’t see anyone having problem buying them. But I can’t ask my mother to buy me something that’s digital and something that doesn’t need to be bought (I have tried figuring out patterns by looking at images of the final product and I think I can figure it out. With some practice I could be able to figure the whole pattern out!)
lol people think that knitting and crocheting are same 😂 My mother posted a status with my pic and a caption which said that I was wearing my own knitted piece. I told her it’s crocheted not knitted. They both are 2 different things. She told me to shut up and that she knows more then me and that it will be knitted only :’)
I saw a few videos of knitting, it looks difficult. When I was researching about crocheting I remembering having asked chatgpt which is easier, knitting or crocheting and it said knitting. He’s wrong there, knitting looks harder then crocheting. Oh wow that’s cool! If it was me I would have probably have to learn from the start. Just I would have learnt faster because I once knew how to crochet. I want to do multiple projects in a row but my mother says that I have to first finish the yarn I already have (I am making a t shirt with it, full sleeve) and then she will buy me more, so unless I get my own money and start buying on my own, I won’t have multiple projects to work on in a row.
@tidyHickory3283 Sorry for a late replyyy. You know I don't do well with long texts xD.
I'm not that old. D: xD
The thinggg isss that 2012 doesn't feel that far away to me because I still think it's 2020 so 2012 is "only" 8 years away... and yeah 8 years sounds like a lot. I don't knowww. :P
Nuuu, don't frog it unless you really want to use the yarn from it orrr if you don't have the space for it. It will be cool to keep it so that you'll be able to see your progress and feel nostalgic about it hehe. <3
Showww me the tutorialll!!!
Ehum... well... I don't know if I've found any good websites since I usually search for what I'm looking for and goes with the first best thing. But if you're looking for some specific amigurumi pattern I could recommend you some. There's a turtle tutorial on YouTube that I even wrote down because I wanted to be able to access it easily. It makes very adorable turtles.
And fun fact, someone did call me a grandma when I was a kid and crocheting. xD
Sounds like you really got a hang of crocheting if you're able to figure out the pattern from images. :o Pretty impressive! I don't really buy patterns unless it's something I know someone else wants because I'm a bit cheap lol.
Aww, I'm sorry that your mom did that. They're not the same. I don't mind when people confuse the two, but I've never had anyone dismiss me when I explain that they're different. :')
I personally think knitting is a bit more difficult but I guess it depends on what you knit and crochet. Are you working on any project right nowww?
@gentleemperor
lmao I know. When I saw how long my text was, I understood why it was taking you time.
You are 6.5-7 years older then me. That’s old 😛
Same. I feel 2020 too. I don’t remember turning 13 or anything. It’s like I wasn’t present these past 4 years.
I don’t think I will be using the yarn from it. Too much pink. I already made the same pink colour top and a lighter pink coloured mesh sleeves. I don’t want anymore pink! Haha true. Maybe I will one day finish it and feel that satisfaction! Aah!
I will link them in a different reply. (Tomorrow since I don’t have enough network to spend on YouTube)
Ohh! Understandable. I want to make Winnie the Pooh for my baby cousin. I searched on google and YouTube and found some pretty good patterns but their outcome pictures don’t satisfy me. The Pooh doesn’t look like Pooh. It looks a bit weird. So if you have any recs for Pooh lemme know. And let me know the turtle tutorial too. I will download it and maybe make it in the future xD
Happened with me today. A classmate asked me what was the thing called that I was doing (yeah I started carrying my yarn and hook to school and at first I was scared to crochet in front of everyone so was crocheting in my bag (in my free periods ofc) but now I proudly crochet in front of everyone. So I told her it’s called crocheting and then she proceeded to ask me what the thing was called that the grandmas do and I have her the stink eye and she immediately saw it and added that they do in tv shows xD. So I told her that’s knitting and then she asked me the difference so I told her that as welll.
I learnt the basi stitches like single crochet, double crochet, increase, decrease, Magic circle, etc so now whenever I see a picture I always create the product in my mind using the stitches I know and that’s how I figure out the patterns. Not the complicated ones tho, like the dolls and all. I will first have to see their patterns for me to get an idea of how they are made for me to figure out tge patterns of the dolls by picture.
Lmao I see cute patterns and am tempted to buy them but then I remember I am penniless xD
Same. Like I don’t mind explaining the difference again and again but if you choose to ignore me then we have a problem.
True. Funny that when I was still exploring crocheting online, I had asked ai which one was more difficult and it had said crochet lol truth is knitting is more difficult.
yup I am making a top rn. The yarn is thin so the progress is slow. It’s making me frustrated. And I calculated how much more yarn I would need and found out I would need 1 more ball but the one I am using comes in pack of 5 :’) I started this 3rd top because I wanted to finish the yarn I have to get more in different colours. Only to be forced to get more of the same colour :’)
@tidyHickory3283
I guess I am old 😨
Ohh, all matching with the same yarn. That's pretty cool! And I've never made a top or sleeves. 🤯 I did start on a granny square project that's supposed to be a cardigan but it's not going very well lol.
Yay! Link them when you caaan. Then we can starttt the project together. 🥳
You've probably found the same tutorials as me on YouTube, but I like some of them. 😛 I like this one:
Winnie Pooh amigurumi - Parte 1 Materiales
It has more parts but I couldn't figure out how to share a playlist... but I'm sure you'll find the rest of the videos. The same person has patterns for Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Roo.
Here's the turtleee tutorial:
Crochet Jumbo Turtle - Tutorial Part 1 | Free Amigurumi Animal Pattern for Beginners
Crochet Jumbo Turtle - Tutorial Part 2 | Free Amigurumi Animal Pattern for Beginners
They're adorable HEHE.
I like that you're a proud crocheter now! No hiding. 😎🌟 Lol, I guess this hobby still has grandma associations although *** made more young people get into it. 😛
But stilll, it's impressive that you can do that from imagesss and visualise it in your head.
Aww haha, one dayyy you'll be able to buy the patterns you want. 💫 (I'm just cheap 😆 I've bought two patterns in total from what I can remember, hehe)
Ohh another top top! That sounds very advanced to me. 😮 Aw hehe, seems like that yarn likes you. 😉 But I get why you would like to have some new yarn. 😛
@gentleemperor
I have not yet replied because I am feeling too lazy to do it 😭
@tidyHickory3283 that’sss okayyy. We should have like… a chat like conversation next to our penpal - letterish type of thing xD
@gentleemperor
lol true
How’s you been
@gentleemperor
Also my finals are approaching (they start on 28th Feb and I have decided to start prep early) so I won’t be getting time to do anything else other then studying (in school free periods i ofc will be crocheting because there is so much noise in class and I would probably end up just staring at the book for the whole period xD)
So this means that our penpal thingy and making a crochet project together will have to be postponed till March 15th. Till then I will try to reply to our chat posts tho 😀
@gentleemperor
Thank you!!!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to crochet till my exams are over. My brother told me that if I want to pass then I need to give up crocheting till exams and then after exams I can crochet however much I want. And then he packed all my supplies (even the small pieces of yarn lying here and there) and kept the bag in the store :’)
Lmao on March 15 I will reply xD
Originally my exams will be over on March 12 but I will be needing rest after a hectic month 🙃
Also change of plans regarding the gift that I will be crocheting for my baby cousin. I asked my cousin which cartoon he likes and he named a bunch of them (he’s 4 so obv he won’t have a particular lol) and Tom and Jerry was one of them so I will be crocheting that instead of Winnie the Pooh
@gentleemperor
Hey! My exams are over but I weirdly feel burnt out a lot. So I think I need to take some time out for myself. Stay offline for a few days/weeks
@gentleemperor pingu!! Let's play:)
