Hey Tracey... I wanted to ask where you got the eyes? Not sure if Micheal's carries these... Thanks..

Going out today to get the yarn and start on this cutie!! Might make a blanket to match in the yellow. Someone needs to hurry up and have a baby so I can give this as a gift! :o)

@CindyRobertson123 I got them either at Micheals or JO-Anns (those are the only two craft stores in town.) I had to ask for help finding them. A matching blanket would be sooooo cute!

@traceyishh Hey.... just got back from a store here in N.C. called A.C. Moore.. So funny ..Im just walking out of the yarn isle and right there at the end are the exact eyes of all sizes. So excited..I will post photos after I am done. Thanks , Cindy

@CindyRobertson123 I can't wait to see pictures. Of course we don't have the ability to upload photos on YouTube which is one of the main reasons for starting my blog. I hope you visit the blog and become a follower. At the bottom of the page I have a place where you can upload thumbnail picture "Links" of your finished projects. Youtube doesn't allow urls in comments so I'll post a link to the blog on your channel.

Super helpful, Thank You :)

thank you!! for doing this video I was confused on the first step. I see there are different ways of making a circle.. I couldn't figure out why we needed to chain two when you can just make a "magic circle" and chain 6 threw that. Watching this makes me feel confident that im reading the pattern correctly. two thumbs up

I only have a 1 crochet hook that's smaller then the 1 that is said to use could I still use it and would it make the giraffe smaller?

Thank you so much for telling me! I am new at commenting and participating on youtube. :)

when you do a single crochet in a stitch in step two, when you insert the tool, do you insert the tool to both the loops or just the front loop?
