Welcome to my Channel! A collection of videos with how I make different things, mostly things made with yarn :). Be sure to follow along with me on my maker journey over on Instagram too!
Hi! Great pattern. I'm a beginner knitter. I've knitted some dishcloths, face cloths and my first pair of baby bootees. Your video is too fast. We can't really see what you are doing. You need to slow down. Just some suggestions and considerations for any future videos of yours.
I appreciate the feedback. In my videos I am not teaching new skills or how to knit, I feel like there are so many videos out there that people can find to teach the actual stitches that I wanted to make videos for people who already have the skill and are just needing a visual to accompany my patterns online. I know that a lot of other video creators teach every step and go really slow, but that isn't what I am trying to do. I think that it is ok for someone to create videos for people that already know how to do something that isn't too slow for them. If you need help with the knit or purl stitch, I would suggest finding a video that teaches that skill then head on back over to my page to follow the pattern. Thank you for the feedback, I do appreciate it and the kind way you chose to add a comment. 🙂
For this style you have to cut them out by hand, the Cricut cannot read the registration marks on darker color material, so for this one I am only using my Cricut Heat Press not the Cricut cutting machine.
thanks for the free pattern but I find it so confusing where you make the loop and where to put your hook and then after that. I even slowed the speed down as slow as possible.
Are you refering to the loop that makes the handle? After the ch4 you want to slip stitch into both ends of the handle, that way everything is closed. That forms a ring that you can crochet into.
I truly enjoyed this whole video, I am 56 and new to crocheting, it is nice to see the lengths you go to, to present your homemade goods. I have only crocheted ‘plushies’ but I think this afternoon (Uk) I will sit in the a very blustery garden, and have a go at your pattern, which is, also, the first, that I have seen, showing how to dc into a mr, thank you for taking the time to make and share.
Do you have a small chart regarding which tension hole to use? I think I used “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby to make a beanie for my 6 yr. old granddaughter. Her head size is about 20+1/2 inches around. I used the Tight hole and the beanie is too tight on her head. Is it a just try it and see technique? Thank you!
I don't have a chart posted anywhere with the tension I used with specific yarns, I do include an instruction card with each purchase with suggested tensions but it is more of a guideline than a chart. I haven't used ILTY in a while so I don't know off hand what tension would be best, but I think moderate might work. I usually use my Sentro for Youth and adult beanies on tight tension. I feel the 2 extra stitches n the Sentro helps give a bit more room. Trying just the 2nd hole (moderate tension) should be a good place to start and see how it goes.
I haven't had a lot of success using my Addi King when making baby beanies, I find that they are too wide to fit nicely. A 40 pin is a better fit. But I do know others that have made them with success. I think you can knit pretty tightly with heartland yarn that it could work.
@@tanml17 I know some people have had no problem with fit using their 40 pins, it might just be a matter of just the right yarn and tension. I hope you are able to figure out a good trick for it.
Yes, I am aware, I used an app that added music and it was supposed to turn the music down while I was speaking but when the video was uploaded to RU-vid it is difficult to hear. I updated the captions so that you can read them if you have trouble hearing. This was one of my first videos and I have apologized about the music being loud. I tried replacing the sound but RU-vid doesn’t allow that so I have to re-do it and upload the video again. I haven’t had a chance to do that but will get around to it. In the meantime the info for the pattern is in my blog and you can turn on captions.
I both learned how to put the tensioner in correctly (was initially putting it below the slot instead of in it) as well as the fact there's a needle holder on the machine 🤣
Hmmm, I wonder if somehow you are adding stitches, I would suggest using a stitch marker so that you can count the stitches to make sure you have the same number in each round. It can be easy to insert the hook and create stitches when using such small yarn.
I love your video. It works perfect. My issue is trying to peel the Heat Transfer paper. I’m wasting half of the paper. Is there an easy way? Thank you!
Hmmm, it may just be the type of transfer paper you are using, anytime I have trouble peeling my transfers it is because of heat settings, either it can be too hot when being pressed, heating for too long or not heating long enough. All presses/irons can be different so you may need to tweak some of those things to dial it in.
Yes, I have the row counts and tension for making on a 46 pin machine and it works up similarly on a 48 pin machine, you can find the info for that in the video description.
I loved making this, I bought the PDF from you on Etsy so I could look at the steps as I went along. My gnome turned out adorable. But the fur quality I bought from Amazon was awful. Do you, by any chance, have a link to the product you use.
I am so glad you liked the pattern! The fur that I purchase has come from Joann, I go in the store and buy a 6 or 7" strip. You can also purchase faux fur squares on Etsy. The ones in the video are ones from Joann Fabric but I have purchased from this shop on Etsy too www.etsy.com/shop/KehrerBerryCrafts
I don't know how well it would come out with a single layer on a knitting machine. I find that the knitting machine hats when stretched you can see through them, and you would have to finish the hat differently.
I have that linked in the blog post. If you click on the full description for the video you can find a link to the post there. I list all the different kinds of threads I have used in the post.
