I used to have the issue where my chain was tighter than my rows, and sizing up half a hook size just for the chain really helped me when I had that issue!!
I gave my family members each a ticket for Christmas last year for one crochet item of their choice because I thought it would be a good way to practice different techniques. I am still working on finishing them all :)
Joe Joe is so cute.. give your self some credit..you did awesome..I am so loving your channel.. my first stuffy was a bumblebee with out wings lol my daughter's doggy took over it😂
I don't know if you know, but instead of trying to control your tension with your hands, you can size up and down with your crochet hook to make those coasters smaller and larger. Using a larger hook will make it more loose and drapey and using a smaller hook will make them tighter and stiffer. Also, I say ramen like "rAH-men". :D Also I like the idea of your giftees picking their own projects instead of you making random stuff that they don't want. Cool!
Thanks for the tip! I will have to try sizing up for the lighter color coaster because I could not get the tension right. I think I may continue to allow the giftees to pick their gifts because then I know it is something they will use :)
I enjoyed your video and look forward to more in the future. You are doing a great job! I love to see younger people taking an interest in crocheting or knitting. 😊 keep up the good work!
Love the video, it turned out great, happy crocheting🧶, I have only recently started crocheting and have I learned to have patience and many learning lessons already but I will never regret starting, my grandma used to do crochet so I’m going to get some of her things so this craft is very special to me, I made two boleros/shrug with the same tutorial and i was able to understand it.Have a good weekend ❤you got a new subscriber 🎉
