I didn't know about blocking until later on when I started making a blanket. I tried the soaking it in water,the steaming and the dry. The best tip got for blocking was to put your project in the washing machine, then you can stick it on your blocking boards or wherever you prefer blocking a projects. Works fantastic!

@DanieVargas 4 месяца назад

@@erinb3323 I’m really liking your suggestion to put your project in the washing machine, but I’ll put it in a pillowcase first. I do not need my washing machine to “eat” my project! I made my 12 yr old niece a special baby blanket when she was born and the housekeeper put it in the laundry UNPROTECTED and the whole blanket came UNDONE!! When the laundry was done washing, she ends up pulling out a giant puddle of yarn… So I took the yarn puddle back and REKNIT the blanket. It’s a good thing I LOVE to knit (and now I’m obsessed with crocheting!). I PUT NOTHING IN THE WASHER AND DRYER WITHOUT PROTECTION! Pillow cases or bra bags work incredibly well!!

Speaking of tension, when I was teaching my little sister to crochet, I made her redo her chains over and over again until they were all essentially the same size. Did the same thing for her single crochets. After that she has gone on to surpass me in her making and everything she makes is absolutely beautiful.

Something that might help with that is to find a project that really pushes your skills, such as an advanced pattern if you are an experienced intermediate. I have also found that making a blanket of a bunch of identical squares just doesn’t keep me engaged, but creating a blanket from a number of different but compatible squares is a lot of fun. Crochet Alongside (CALs) are great resources for projects like that. Hope the tip helps! ❤

Most of these videos are people blowing up minor "mistakes" for clickbait, but these habits really are important to correct! And yes, I'm guilty LOL. I hunch my shoulders, don't bother to set up my task light when I know I need it, and keep crocheting when my hand hurts because there's "just a little bit left." The one thing I don't do is put off weaving in my ends, because I'm also a weirdo who looks forward to it. It's so satisfying to me when the tail vanishes like magic, and the piece looks tidy and finished. 😊

I got a neck lamp for Christmas, and it was a game changer for me. It made it possible for me to be able to crochet in the evenings, which previously just hadn't been possible. Having that direct light in the exact right place also helps with seeing your stitches when working with dark yarns.

@wendysimpson4281 7 месяцев назад

One thing that not covered by many tutorials including this one is clearly identifying a stich at the ends of simple and complicated patterns, (when to stop and flip the project) the last stich is sometimes hard to clearly identify. In most tutorials it feels like it's assumed we beginners should see it, we should know. This is where i leave a chain out often then end up ripping it out and starting again to identify what happened. It would be great to see a basic video on the issues that happen when we get to the edges.❤

Crochet hook sizes really do make a difference! I wanted to make a summer mesh cardigan with a really fancy stitch pattern in worsted weight yarn. I tried a gauge swatch (so glad I did) with a 6mm and 4mm hook. It came out so much cleaner and prettier with the 4mm and I knew I had saved so many hours of work

I found it reassuring that my writing notes all over my crochet patterns isn't a sign of being a bad crocheter lol My patterns are absolutely COVERED in notes otherwise I will forget pretty much everything! I got a new desk lamp for my birthday and it has been AMAZING for crocheting! It has a small footprint so it doesn't get in my way, it's dimable for the perfect amount of light, and it has an adjustable head so I can angle the beam of light to the exact position needed to be able to see my stitches. I love it so much!

@justpinkcandy Год назад

Excellent advice for beginners. After 62 years, I have a big DO (mostly geared towards older crocheters): DO keep abreast of new techniques; DO practice those techniques until you're comfortable and proficient (magic ring, chainless/standing stitches, substituting stitches for chains when joining, invisible join, invisible decrease, etc.). These will improve the eye appeal and may save yarn. Securely weave in ends: over under in one direction, repeat in the opposite direction, repeat in the first direction. ends will never work themselves out and your project will never unravel. Do this religiously.

The habit I struggle with is getting excited about a project and then never finishing. Usually it’s because it wasn’t turning out.

I know this is a bit of an older video, but seeing as I just found your channel and am currently binge-watching while I crochet a spider web... crocheting through pain is a horrible habit of mine. I actually had to go to a sports medicine doc to get things sorted... and then I found out the crochet was causing the nerve in the arm to slide out of the groove. Except it didn't end there: I got the okay to crochet again from my rheum of all people! Apparently my marathon crochet sessions in my late teens/early 20s caused scar tissue and along with some other not so fun stuff. As long as I keep it to under an hour a day (and not all at once!) I can still make things. I just need to crochet responsibly (and let this comment serve as a reminder that stuff does catch up with ya, even if you don't think it will).

I'm really tired of people tail-shaming me! I leave my tails until the end on purpose and, for me, it's NOT a bad habit! I change my mind often (about yarn color, stitches, etc,, particularly when I'm not working from a pattern). I've learned from experience that weaving as you go makes it difficult to frog. I've had to cut out big chunks of my fabric, which can be problematic, especially if I'm working with "just enough" yarn.

Writing down notes as I work through a pattern was never an issue for me. However, I would lose the printed pattern that I worked from. What I started to do was keeping patterns I’m working on as PDF files, and adding notes in a text box right on the PDF file. I resave the file with the notes. So when I want to make that pattern again, I open up that PDF and all my notes are there. I just have to print it out and work from the adjusted pattern. Since I sometimes use a different yarn the next time I make it, I also note information on the yarn I used and the hook size. It’s really been helpful when I want to go back and make it again.

OhMy! This is like a video that you made specially for me, because I ve murtured ALL of the bad habits you pointed out! Thanks for the helpful reminders and tips, I would definitely starting from today, trying my best to correct and break all these bad practices, let's all work together now so we can enjoy what healthy crocheting could bring to life 😀

I know that this channel is for knitting (I also knit so that's how I found them) but after 3+ years of being a crocheter, I never understood nor did gauge swatches and my projects would be wonky. But, if you go to this youtube channel 'Sheep and Stitch' , they have a video where they go in detail about what a gauge swatch is, why its important, what ways to do it, and if you don't have gauge, how to fix it. Again, its knitting but simply replace the needles that they talk about with hooks and you're good to go! It made a world of a difference and they made it so easy to understand that now I use gauge swatches!!

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

Yes!!! That is such a fantastic video for learning about gauge! I'll link the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M-lvbzhq3fo.html 🧶🧶🧶

I actually was taught to crochet entirely wrong as a child, I had no idea I was doing it wrong either until around a decade later as a teenager I saw a youtube tutorial and realized. I was taught instead of pulling up a loop with your hook to wrap the yarn around the hook and then pull through a loop like in knitting 😬I've tried to correct this but sometimes I forget and still do it the wrong way.

@lupitamartinez4898 Год назад

Boy , I have lots of bad habits! I'm glad you shared and I can be more aware and try to fix them . My worst habit is the bad posture , scrunching shoulders and not counting stitches diligently! I love your videos!

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

I am a really bad shoulder scruncher! I have to constantly remind myself I that. 🧶🧶🧶

@kristinkristin4467 Год назад

Great Video. Thankfully I have eliminated most of these bad habits. My nemesis seems to be reading a pattern first, but I'm working on it. I have found that an upholstered armless chair seems to be the best way for me to sit. Nothing for my arms to bump into. I also have a monthly visit to the Chiropractor for Crochet Maintenance. This has been the biggest help for me. I really messed myself up and couldn't crochet for almost 5 months. I found that having Chiropractic adjustments every month keeps me pain free! My Chiropractor has added treating Crochet related injuries to his list of services. He was amazed at how many people now come to him for this reason alone!

@noxcosplays2473 5 месяцев назад

Typically, I take 2-3 days break between finishing a project and starting a new one. I also take regular 30 minutes breaks for every 2 hours I’m sat crocheting. Also, a lot of these rules also apply to knitting (I do both crochet and knitting)

@cackleberrycottage2340 Год назад

Oh my gosh. Not taking notes. Guilty as charged. After pulling out countless projects to finish and not even remembering what size hook I was using, I learned my lesson. Now when I start a project, I take a sticky note and write down what hook size I am using, what brand of hook, (I have too many different brands) what yarn I am using, any changes I make to the pattern or if it is a pattern I am making up, such as a granny afghan, I make of note of what or whose granny square pattern I am using. I then tuck these sticky notes into a small zip lock back and tuck it in with my project. This has saved my bacon several times now. I always sew my ends in as I go because I don't really like doing it and I don't want to be dealing with all those ends when I am done.

I don't always count my stitches and have had to frog many a project.. Checking my gauge is something I really need to do. I guess I'm just too lazy and my mind says its a waste of time. After watching this video I think I'm more inspired to break my naughty habits. Thank you for telling us about these habits.

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

You're so welcome!! Most of the projects I do I don't need a gauge swatch but a few do and it makes a world of difference! 🧶🧶🧶

Want to watch guage change REAL quick? Work on a project while watching a horror movie or a thrilling mystery. Frog another back ten rows. AGAIN!

@jholt1120 Год назад

Another great video. I'm guilty of a few of these. Mainly holding tension in my shoulders & MOST definitely working thru pain because I'm always in pain. That's why I crochet... to distract from it but I do sit for hours & crochet without a break just to "finish this last thing"..... which then becomes another thing...😅 Thanks for sharing all your tips!🩷

I had to put off my crochet journey for two years while I dealt with carpal tunnel pain and eventual CT release surgery. DO NOT work through the pain! Take frequent breaks if you need to. Get a little stress ball to help stretch and help relieve tension. Love that so many of these tips are about maintaining good health 🧡

@paulafox30 12 дней назад

Totally with you on the stitch counting. Esp if I'm making a top in panels. I start with a certain number of stitches and end up having to grog it when i realise ive dropped stitches 10 rows back!!! What I do now is i pop a stich marker in my first stitch of each row so i can easily see where the last stich is!! Especially helpful when using dark yarn!

@RNMom424 11 месяцев назад

The 1st habit on your list is probably my #1 as well! Before I watch more, I'll add this as well: when I stop a project for any length of time, I don't make explicit notes so that if something happens & I don't get back to it right away, I end up frogging until I figure out when my work & the pattern are in the same place! "No need! **I'LL** remember!" HA! No chance! Yet I don't take care of things anyway!

I have a disease called Lupus Sle. I have had reconstructive surgery on both hand ,wrist ,fingers and my back,knees and both feet. I am rehabbing myself back to a normal life. Everyone of your tips are so true. I got back into needlework to get full use of my hands again. I have to remember those breaks and stretches are so important. It can lead to tendinitis and even arthritis. Thanks Elise for pointing out these bad habits. All of my surgeries have been a huge success. I am located in Arkansas

@drfreud65 9 месяцев назад

I know I'm odd, but I STARTED crocheting because I had trigger finger in my tension finger. It gave me something to do with that finger until I had the release surgery. I'd seen how my mama held her hands while she crocheted- exactly the way my finger would stick anyway. By the time I got my surgery, we'll just say I was hooked. 😂

For me, it's the note-taking. I am a horrible journaler! Journaling is not my first love. I write notes on my patterns, but they're not just project notes.

Thanks I truly enjoyed the video. My biggest bad habit is not reading the entire pattern carefully, and that is very important and I can't tell you how many projects I frogged because of that error. One of the other bad habits that you didn't mention was planning your time to complete a project. We all know how long it takes to complete a project but we never give ourselves enough to complete it without rushing to finish. (i.e. don't start your Christmas projects the day after Thanksgiving). You'll never get it done.

@crimsonscarlett9904 14 дней назад

I have a terrible habit of getting too into working on a project that my posture gets really bad. But amusingly enough, I do take the time to take long breaks to readjust and relax, like I can remember to stretch and massage but I always forget to maintain my posture. And when I first started my tensions was bad but even I amaze myself with how much I’ve improved, the sides are actually even now. And another thing I learned the hard way was counting my stitches, I would get so frustrated with how often I would mess up for not counting, so now I religiously count and recount my stitches like my life depends on it, helps a lot!!

@andrealouis-visser4973 Год назад
