You watch Dance moms? Nice to know, I'm not the only one. Its my guilty pleasure, the kids are amazing dancers. However Abby is insane!! Some of the dances she has the kids do are inappropriate, such as the topless showgirls dance. So what are your thoughts on the show? None of it is most likely true, but its good drama! Entertaining!

Yeah I didn’t really watch it until I saw a marathon of season1 right before season 2 started. Since I work from home all day/all night, I end up watching a LOT of mindless TV. I think Maddy is amazing, and I like trying to see the evolution in the girls’ dancing. I just always wonder why the moms don’t leave already if they are so unhappy!! Hence, dramaz! I’m excited to see what Dance Moms Miami is like!

Where is your favorite place to buy your yarn? What about online?

I shop at Michael’s and Joann Fabrics (and now Beverly’s now that I discovered I live so close to one!) a lot to keep my costs down, but I also love shopping at my local yarn shop ImagiKnit for the fancier stuff. I only shop online after I’ve seen a yarn in person first. JimmyBeansWool.com. PurlSoho.com. Kyarns.com. Those are a couple places I go back to frequently.

Hi Twinkie! Do you have a leftover yummy you cupcake clutch anywhere? I would buy it off your hands. There's one on amazon but is so expensive, my 8 year old daughter loves it. The other day we went to a website called punk and they had your purse on sale for 15 bucks!! A steal versus Amazon, the next day I was going to purchase it and they didn't have it on the website. My daughter was heartbroken. Do you have any more? Amazon has it priced for 72 dollars.

Hi, unfortunately, I dont really have one to sell. I didn’t receive samples of everything :P. The felting process is very labor-intensive for me, so if I made them, it would probably still be around $70.00. I may experiment with lining them with fabric vs. felting, but I need to set aside time for that experiment :).

I saw the cupcake ring box and I love it. LIZ is sooo LUCKY!! I Hope you are going to sell those bad boys, you know what else you could do? Make an EVEN BIGGER version of the ring box, add a handle and boom you have a cute cupcake purse. I can't seem to find a 3D cupcake purse online anywhere, all the crochet ones don't keep their shape and all fall down. How long did it take you to come up with the pattern?

Hi! I’m so glad you liked it! I am not sure if I want to sell them yet. I feel like it was a really special item that Nara imagined for Liz! It didn’t take too long to come up with the pattern, since I’ve done a lot of cupcake-themed projects already :). I think the hard part of turning it into a purse would be finding the right purse to put a cupcake cozy on. I didn’t construct a ring box from scratch. I bought a round ring box online and built the cupcake around it :) xo

Dear Twinkie Chan, have you ever thought of doing a macaroni scarf? Oh yeah have you ever thought of doing drink scarfs? You could do a SUNNY D scarf, a coke scarf, a Capri sun scarf. Orange juice carton scarf, all kinds!! Or do you stick to food specifically?

Hi! I did a mac n cheese cowl once but I’d have to figure out a way to make the mac more efficient to make!

I’ve done milk carton zipper pouches and tea cup scarves. I have a lot of sketches of all kinds of things, but it’s just a matter of having time to execute all of them and also keep up with custom orders! :) The next month or two, I want to dedicate to new designs, though, like gummy bears, and circus animal cookies! The thing that’s important for my work is that things are recognizable in crocheted 2D format, but not overly detailed. Too much detail can weigh the scarf down, make it look bad on the back side, or just make it too expensive to sell for a reasonable price. Thanks so much! :)

Twinks, tell me babe are you a good dancer? I always wondered this question, because you look like you might have a few moves up you sleeve. Who's the better dancer, BE HONEST!!! You, Harry or Manda?

Uh, I think this question is really funny. I’m a terrible dancer. I don’t like dancing. I’m the one standing in the corner. Unless I’ve had a few drinks. Then I’ll jump and snap my fingers like Courtney Cox in a Bruce Springstein video. Manda’s got moves! She will win the dance competition! Hairy refuses to dance except the robot.

Dear Twinkie Chan, what is your favorite food, and out of all the scarfs you have made what is your favorite? Also, do you own at least 1 of each scarf you have crocheted. AlsO I do not see you wearing your scarfs very often, if I made those I would be showing those suckers off 24 7!! You are thee most talented person, I have ever seen. I truly mean it. Wish u the best-Ellie

Hi Ellie! (1) My favorite food is tough, because I’m not a very picky eater and I’ll eat almost anything. My favorite food genre is baked goods, mostly brownies, but I also love potato chips!!! And sushi! AHH!! (2) Favorite scarf: I think the cupcake scarf is easiest to go with my outfits, but I really want to make myself a pizza scarf! (3) You’re right! I am in the habit of selling everything I make, and I rarely save time to make stuff for myself :( so no, I don’t have one of everything. I only have 2 cupcake scarves and a bacon/egg scarf for me! Thank you so much for your questions :) xoxoxo <3

I've been a huge fan of your work for years! I first saw you in a tattoo magazine and thought your tattoos were so adorable and amazing. When I found your crochet work online, it just made everything a hundred times better. You're an amazingly talented girl and super lovely.

Hi there! Thank you so much following me on this adventure! :D xo
