I can't do magic chain either lolol

I like the narration (anyhoo, LOL). Unfortunately, the work seems to be off camera some of the time.

why can i not get this, everything i make is inside out

[QQTheLight]

Thank for being there for left handed people...and I have wasted so much time trying to get "that" magic circle so this chain 2 tech is wonderful!

[Silveirta]

Oh and also, and for people who use the chain 2 technique like she said the small hole is no big deal, but I still use the magic ring technique simply because I don't like looking at a hole at the top of my heads of amigurumi and stuff.

I just wanna know what brand of yarn you use

As for past comments I've noticed:

-Yes the chain 2 technique can ALWAYS be replaced by the magic ring. (I'm a magic ring user and I highly prefer it over this only cuz the holes in my chain 2 techniques always come out so big)

-I just weave my tail at the end when doing the magic ring into the doll and it comes out pretty spiffy.

what brand of yarn do u use

Great video. The "pull on tail to close up hole" tip is super helpful.

Ha, I was starting to think I was the only one who used this technique. I can't get the Magic Ring either, though I've tried. Chain 2 is how I start all my Ami. For the hole..as you move on you can always tug at the tail, and it should close it up more.

The chain two technique just does not work for me. I've tried it several times but the hole left is huge, around 1/2 an inch in diameter. Magic ring works so much better for me, and the tail really isn't a problem for me except in smaller parts where it kind of gets in the way. I usually just leave my tail on the inside and it works out fine, don't think it would unravel.

omg this helps sooo much thank you (n_n)y

[TheRedRose16]

oh my gosh, this is so awesome! I can't wait to try this, thanks!

[rachelle1017]

This is great. I hate doing the magic ring thing, it was frustrating to try to learn (maybe because I'm left handed? lol)

[Bookworm51485]

It's a bit confusing watching you do it in a way that seems wrong to me, but I have a friend who's left-handed and she could use these because she finds it confusing to figure out from watching someone right handed

You things are adorable. I am just getting into amigurumi. I want to make my daughter a Pucca and Garu doll for her birthday in August. Then on to Hello kitty!

I've never attempted the magic ring, but saw it in a pattern I looked at recently. Can the chain 2 technique always be used to replace the ring? I love the recent ami vids you've posted. Thank you!
