Welcome! I'm Marie Segares, a crafts and food blogger known as Underground Crafter. I'm also a podcaster and hosted the Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show for two years and over 70 episodes. On my channel, you'll find videos related to crafts (especially crochet, knitting, sewing and quilting, and Cricut crafts) including tutorials, patterns, product reviews, and tips.
This is different from any other instructions for this stitch I have seen. I made a cowl in this stitch and must say I liked the little nub I got from the first slip stitch instead of the way you did it here. I think the “standard” way also gives the stitches the slanted look for the herringbone effect. To each his own…
Thanks for sharing! There are lots of stitches and stitch patterns that share the same names (just as often you will see stitch patterns with multiple names). I'm glad you found a variation you enjoy.
I can't believe I found you, accidently. I've had this same machine for a few years but circumstances haven't allowed me to become a proficient user. I'm heading towards 80 years young, and having a few snags in the bonding of my Brilliant. I have 4 greatgrandchildren, another on the way, so there are projects on my list. Can't wait to get started. Thank you, so much for posting this video. Always on the look out for new, helpful information.
Marie, thank you for showing the gentle ripple. I have crocheted for over 60 years so I am always find new stitches. I will be going to your web site!!
I haven't noticed a gap but I suppose it all depends on your tension and size of your stitches. There does appear to be a gap while you're crocheting, but on my projects that gets removed when you finish off. I assume you make one less chain?
Wondering if I should downsize to the jubilant from a Brilliant. I love that the brilliant has an automatic thread cutter, but maybe not an essential feature. Thoughts?
I have both machines now and love each of them. If I only had one, and I had the space for it, I would probably keep the Brilliant. But if I was pressed for space or on the move a lot, as I was when I first got the Jubilant, I'd stick with that. I do love the automatic thread cutting on the Brilliant, the bigger creative area, and the stitch memory. But, it depends on what you use regularly. What is your "must have" or essential feature?
Thank you so much for your easy-to-listen-to, clear, concise, informative review of this machine. I bought mine over a year ago and have been timid about using it. Thank you for your encouragement!
I’m looking for a trick to stop the curling; both bottom and top. I’ve tried larger hooks…up to 3 times larger than the recommended size for the yarn and in addition to not tighten the stitches as I go. **sigh**
I literally have watched multiple tutorials on this and absolutely can't figure it out. Like it is too complex for me but it's so small and I feel defeated.
It was hard for me to see with the variegated yarn (vision impaired). I believe the pattern stitch row is: you first did a SC. Then pattern repeat is *2 cluster stitch in “same” stitch, SC in next stitch*?
I didn't intend for the video to show the pattern stitch, just to demonstrate how to do the 2-dc cluster. But yes, when turned over, the pattern is [sc, 2-dc cluster] alternating to the end of the row, ending with sc. I had rows of sc in between as well.
🧶Hello, I followed your bread crumbs to here 🧡 I started on Ralvery to your website (extremely user friendly) all in pursuit of making your waves hooded cowl with very special yarn I picked up on the Sierra Nevada yarn crawl 🧡 thank you for your quality content. I appreciate all your effort 🫶🏻
This is exactly the pattern/technique my grandma used when she made all the blankets, lap robes, and dishcloths that she donated to those in need. She tried to teach me when I was little and I couldn't get it. Now I'm 37, she just passed away, and I started thinking about maybe learning to make the things she did. Your tutorial was excellent, but I think I should just accept that I'm unteachable when it comes to crochet 😅
Thank you for the review! I was wondering if you would recommend it for a beginner? I was at the shop earlier today, and he recommended the Joy, and even though I am a beginner I don't want to grow out of my machine really quick. I just noticed it has a lot less stitches, a 4 step button hole, which isn't something that I find appealing because I want to make garments etc. so yeah, I hope you see this! Thank you for your time again!
Hi Everyone! Have any of you been able to knit this dishcloth?? I have tried a lot of times, and sometimes I have extra stitches, and other not enough! Maybe it's me. But please share some tips with me if you have completed it. Thanks!!!
That loud background music is drowning out your voice and is quite distracting and VERY annoying. Please remove the music track. I couldnʻt even finish watching this video.
Thank you so much, I was thinking of getting the Babylock Zeal, but now I'm thinking the Jubilant might be the right one for me. I really appreciate your thorough review and explanation! 😃
Sorry, this does not help at all. Nothing shows up in that dark color. Will have to find another channel to learn this stitch. If you are going to do tutorials, you need to go with the lightest colors, if you want it to show up on camera.
