I painted a different colored stripe of color on the end of each of my hooks so I can see the difference at a glance. I started out with nail polish but switched to paint meant for plastic models as it is more durable.
This is a fantastic tutorial, especially for people who know the basic rules of mosaic crochet and are ready to learn how to use them. I really wanted to learn how to interpret the pattern, but because I haven't been able to find a way to view or download the pattern, I can't do it. Without the video help, there's no way that I could have interpreted the pattern by myself, particularly the placement of special stitches (e.g. under the previous stitch or under the leg of the next stitch).
Thank you for this review ❤ I am a pencil holder too, and I have just ordered 4 Clover Amour hooks that I wait for, because they come so highly recommended. I also put one Clover soft touch in my order just to compare, since it’s basically half price of the Amour. But I agree with you about the color… I hope to like the Soft touch because of the price, but I don’t really like the color very much… it’s time for them to upgrade it 😊
Hi👋🏼I see this video is 4 years old but I fell in love with the aubergine coloured bag😍😍😍 Is there still a pattern available and where can I buy it. Kindest regards, petra
Thank you, Natalia! I have long been an admirer of your bags on Ravelry but never really ventured into bag territory myself until now. Your excellent and clear instructions for thermal stitch will get me closer to the type of refinement to which I aspire in bag construction. I also love the bag strap slit video! Great way to reach a polished finish.
I have CloverSoft Touch and Amore but the former is my favourite alongside Tulip Reds. I bought Soft Touch first and I always navigate back to them. Amore are okay but not my favourite and I have cheaper Amazon buys that equal them!
You are such a good teacher! This was very easy to follow. I could see every stitch and its formation. Your instructions were simple and complete. Thank you so much.
I am new to crochet and really excited to give this a try, as it is exactly the finished look of what I need for my project. Could you share what needle size you used with the Schweppes Whirlette yarn (the grey one, if I got that right)? Thank you!!
