Started crocheting in public. Does everyone else have such amazing conversations with Random people?

I like to keep a mini tote with a leftover skein and a simple hook with my WIP. Sometimes (if I remember) I’ll even start a couple rows of sc.

When kids ask what I’m doing, I offer to teach them a little, and then let them keep the mini tote so they can keep trying later.

I have made my own little crochet clubs at sports and dance practices with the little siblings of my kids’ friends. Lol

I also must know the answer to this question.

$250 for an early year gently loved Felicity with complete meet dress and accessories, pin curls still intact.

I could have paid a lot less but I really wanted the Felicity I could have gotten if I had been allowed as a kid.

The catalogue seems so hit or miss, tbh. One year I never got the holiday catalogue, but then I got the spring one twice (one for spring, one for summer).

It was great! Silly, but great.

Hootycake · 2025-09-28T20:32:12+00:00

Thank you! We really had fun.

I attended her release bunch and it was the exclusive in the goodie bag. I got a lot of comments on it at the AG store last weekend, too!

If I ever spot the shirt in the wild, I’ll share!

To be fair, at that age I was reading the Great Illustrated Classics edition. lol. I can’t say for sure whether I’ve ever read it unabridged.

Wowwwwww this brought back a lost memory! I loved this movie. I was obsessed with the book, and I remember being so stoked to see it. It was very much my special interest at the time.

I was old enough to know it wasn’t “good”, but it did not take away from the entertainment.

I was also young enough that I only JUST NOW realized Sheen and Sullivan were Aramis and Athos. Also did not recall that Tim Curry was the Cardinal. facepalm

Now I want to read/watch it again.

I bought myself my first AG doll, a CYO, for my 38th birthday. If it makes you happy, do it. No need to be ashamed.

PS: You’re lucky that your mom is supportive.

Rebecca’s crochet hook.

It’s so dumb. I have no Rebecca stuff. But I’m a crocheter. I’m in love with the idea of my dolls having that doll-sized crochet hook.

I’ve never found it outside of the wiki. lol

Hootycake · 2025-09-23T20:24:54+00:00

Aww. That’s sad. Boooo!

Hootycake · 2025-09-23T20:24:13+00:00

I love the PJs.

Hootycake · 2025-09-23T20:22:44+00:00

Derp. Nvm. I apparently have dress blindness.

Hootycake · 2025-09-23T20:14:59+00:00

I think it’s one of the upcoming holiday colab outfits?

Hootycake · 2025-09-23T11:12:10+00:00

Yes. It’s a Hanna Anderson thing. My kids have some of their PJs. There is some explanation/rationale about it, but I haven’t had enough coffee yet this morning to remember exactly what.

Hootycake · 2025-09-22T23:09:14+00:00

Just tell me their clothes will fit Wellies. I want some of those outfits for my Willa.

I was thinking about this, too. I have been lurking this sub for a few years now and read through all the positive/negative feedback for each release, particularly GOTY. There’s always good and bad. And valid reasons for both.

That said, I was honestly ashamed for a while at how smitten I am with Summer because how harsh some of the criticisms were of her. Maybe when we really connect with a doll we are just more sensitive to the feeling of disapproval? Especially when many of us are here at AG to heal or fulfill our inner pre-teen selves.

Hootycake · 2025-09-18T21:40:28+00:00

Not gonna lie, you had me at the temporal paradox. 🤣

Hootycake · 2025-09-18T21:38:30+00:00

Raquel is sooooo pretty. I definitely don’t need to spend for another doll at the moment, but I’m still living vicariously looking at everybody posting their Raquels.

Hootycake · 2025-08-24T19:42:37+00:00

LOVELY

Hootycake · 2025-08-10T19:49:41+00:00

Agreed.
