This was a good review. I have a tulip but mostly Susan bates ergonomic. I heard a RU-vid channel guy said he loved the prym. I tried one and did not! I wanted to they looked so pretty. I tried a couple different yarns. My issue was the yarn dragging and squeaking! So annoying. I find it interesting how passionate people can get about their hooks. 😂
So true! I’m guessing the squeaking has to do with the hook and yarn combo. I didn’t notice any while I used it with cotton, but I haven’t tried with other fibers yet. I think people want to find a hook that feels good to hold, and that slides like butter when they use it 😅
I was also disappointed in the Prym. I really wanted to like it. I hold my hooks like you do and they are just too long for me. My favorite is the Clover Armour. I’ve never tried the Tulip because they are way out of my price range! New sub here!
I was disappointed in the Prym too, for how many times I heard people say it's their favorite hook. It does not glide smoothly against the yarn. I have a knife hold so the hold doesn't seem to be the problem. Maybe it depends on the yarn material.
I can imagine the material has a lot to do with the glide for sure. The yarn I’ve been using the most this year is 100% cotton, and the glide was ok, but I might try these with other yarns and see if there’s much of a difference
Interesting, I did mention how they glide with the yarn I utilized, but I did focus on the feel of the hook while holding it, as there’s no point (in my opinion) in buying a hook that glides through your yarn but doesn’t feel comfortable in your hand. Thanks for your input, I’ll keep that in mind for the next review video I make ☺️
Mire Adriana (muy bonito nombre, por cierto 😉), puedo aprender los términos (nombres de las puntadas) en español y traducir mis videos, pero no estoy segura que tan diferente sería del castellano. Mi problema ha sido que, a pesar de poder hablar el español, yo aprendí a tejer con ganchillo en Estados Unidos, y aprendí todos los nombres de las puntadas en inglés 😅
Either one, I’d say yes. Prym has lovely hooks, but the neck of the hooks is too long for a pencil hold, in my opinion. It would be much more comfortable to use if you tend to do the knife hold. So, I’d only buy them if you have a knife hold
I love the clovers they feel comfortable in my hands and I use the soft touch clover more The prym hooks feel light but sometimes feel a bit too long for my hand but I do like the lightness of the hooks Tulip seems expensive so have yet to buy one although I know people favour them
Oh, definitely! The neck of the hook is way too long for a pencil hold. It’s only saving grace (in my opinion) is that it works great for someone who does a knife hold 😅 Thank you for your comment, and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
@elibell19 I haven't had squeaking. I usually listen to audio books while crocheting so don't pay attention to sounds from crocheting though. Some others have said rubbing a dryer sheet on the hook or washing it helps with squeaking.
I do love a piece with a lot of Wow factor..... most intriguing. . I need to learn to read a pattern....I can watch and see . Want to learn to read the notes. Thank you.
We do have a video showing how to read a pattern, How to read crochet patterns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zC3NnM-aGko.html Hope you are still able to use this tutorial and make something with this stitch. Also, feel free to post here any questions or go to our facebook or instagram page and send a message if you need any further assistance. 😊 Happy stitching!
@@adiscraftsnthings yes....I saw your tutorial on reading patterns . I've sort of created my own shorthand...I should learn the standard interpretation. Thank you. I am drawn to older and impressive designs. Thank you for responding. How nice.
Mil disculpas! La verdad es que voy a tratar de aprender los términos en español y enseñarlo de esa forma. No me ha dado tiempo de aprenderlo, pero trato de mostrar los pasos despacio para que puedas seguir fácilmente. Si tienes preguntas, solo mándame un mensaje ya sea aquí o por medio de nuestra página de Facebook o Instagram 😊
Actually the second one you showed is not a lemon peel variant but is actually the "Suzette Stitch"... i use the suzette ALOT... makes wonderful blankets with such great texture 😃😃😃
Coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. 😎 This helped me decide on a simple project with some nice yarn that I’ve been waiting to use until I found the perfect little pattern for it. I subscribed too. Thank you!
Awww, thank you!! I’m glad you found this tutorial useful. Also, thanks for your support! I would love to see your project once you finish it. You can tag us on Instagram or post a picture on our Facebook page 😊 (and feel free to request any other stitch tutorials as well 😉)
@@adiscraftsnthings You are at 102 subscribers. Congrats. When are you planning the giveaway? I’m going to have one too. I’m at around 72 subscribers now. Planning a campaign soon.
I am still finishing up the pattern for this one. I’ll be releasing it in a week or so. Feel free to go to our Facebook page and like/follow; I will be posting the link there once it’s live 😊
Thank you Annabelle! Tbh, I didn’t know when I first got started with crochet either, which is why this is the first thing I teach in my in-person classes. Thanks for your comment!
