The ply you did is called Navajo ply and they do this to have thicker yarn for their rugs. I have used it in knitting. Thank you and the best to you.

@marshanotmarcia7433 7 месяцев назад

I have an even quicker hack for no ‘turning bumps’. turn UNDER instead of OVER. It removes the twist that turning over makes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@RandeT73 Год назад

I make my own stitch markers or stitch savers. Those come in super handy when a project needs to go into time out. I put a letter bead on the marker. I went to a local farmer's market, there was a gentleman there with a crochet stand. He put skeins of yarn into clean 2 liter bottles, he cut the bottoms of the bottles put the skein in, taped up the bottom ran the working yarn through the bottle opening.

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

All great ideas!

I just keep my yarn in a gallon size ziploc bag and let it feed out the end of the closed zipper.

@lindabrimmer1118 2 месяца назад

Great

@AmberMorris-xe6bn Год назад

To make thicker yarn with the loops is a great idea! 🧡

I saw it on Tuula Maaria's crochet channel years ago...she's a great crochet coach from Finland. Many, many useful hacks! "Crochet with Tuula Maaria", check her out!

@christianegravenberg3567 10 месяцев назад

This is called chain plying or Navajo plying when you spin a yarn from fibre. Instead of having 3 spools of yarn (all with slightly different lengths) you only need one and won't have any spools with leftover bits.

Hack No. 3 is genius. Turning one strand into 3. Love it! :)

@ElizabethWierschem 2 дня назад

Hi!, everyone calls me Betty. I always thought my single crochet edges looked kind of funky. Your hack will take care of that problem. Thanks for sharing.

@CraftersAutonomous 2 дня назад

Hi, Betty! Glad to have you here! I've never been a fan of my single crochet edges either. The traditional way of working always left me wanting a cleaner look, and this hack has helped me neaten my edges a lot.

@fawnjenkins7266 10 месяцев назад

I have been crocheting for 28 years, and I learned a couple new tricks. Thank you!! 👏I am saving this video!😊

@CraftersAutonomous 10 месяцев назад

Yay, I'm so glad I was able to teach you something new! Thanks for watching!

@TheCreativeBee4 11 месяцев назад

That miss stitch would haunt me if I don't fix it right 😂but I love them all thanks for sharing

@CraftersAutonomous 10 месяцев назад

Oh it does haunt me! But sometimes I'm too lazy (and frustrated lol) to unravel a bunch🤣

@BlessedBaubles 10 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh!!! That 3 ply trick is GENIUS!! Thank you!!

@heatheredwards2982 4 месяца назад

Chain plying the yarn is fantastic 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@fidothecdn Год назад

The hacks to neaten the edges and ply-up a single strand of yarn are amazing!

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

Yay! So glad you enjoyed these hacks! They've been absolute game changers for me.

I enjoy making blankets, anything wider than 2 ft. here is my savior, after I get almost a foot high, I accordion fold the blanket about 3-5 inches wide, thicker the yarn, wider the fold, then tie the bundle, I used scrap yarn, go around 2 times and tie, so now you have a bundle on your lap, the working edge opens like a fan, and as you work your Blanket, keep tying as it gets longer, I like doing this as that my cat helps me, she can not lay on it, it stays clean, can travel with it, Bags up much easier. I enjoy your shows.

@CraftersAutonomous 3 месяца назад

The accordion fold is a great idea for bigger projects! Thanks for sharing.

@jodinpoupart5923 2 месяца назад

@kathleenprice7335 6 месяцев назад

I thought I was the only one that forgot what hook size I was using. THANK YOU for the good Idea!!

@carlycharlesworth1497 Месяц назад

I love all these tips except the one where you missed a stich. It's a clever tip but I would never be able to live with myself if I just patched it up, even tho it would save me time and energy having to undo my work. Kudos to you tho for finding a new idea for fixing your work, it's ingenious, it's just not something my horrible perfectionist nature would allow me to actually do, and then live peacefully with myself afterwards. The tip I especially love, is the one where you used a loop in the wool to change a single thickness of yarn into a thicker one. What a clever idea! I am new to your channel but I think I'm utterly hooked, pun intended, on your videos. Thank you for posting these tips and tricks, they are very helpful. God bless you

@CraftersAutonomous Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your perspective! And I totally get about not being able to live with the knowledge there's an error. I tend to be a perfectionist myself, but crafting and creative things are the one area I'm pretty good at letting go of my need for perfection. Of course, I likely wouldn't use the filling in hack if it were for a commissioned project. But I've found it allows me to actually finish projects versus putting them in a permanent time out because I don't want to unravel 😂 So glad to have you here and thanks for watching! God bless.

@KarinMurati 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for showing us the hacks, Amanda. ❤❤❤

@eb5153 Год назад

Love the rap. 🤣 Thanks for using the extra hook to show where to put the hook on hack #4 before actually doing it. That made is so clear!

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

Haha glad you enjoyed my "skills" 🤣 thanks for watching!

@peggyharwell3674 11 месяцев назад

Great tutorial Amanda, you have a great camera presences, looking straight into the camera and not focussing off camera . These hacks are great.

Aww thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you watching.

What a good idea for tripling the yarn!

@bobbiepoynter3848 11 месяцев назад

Love the clean edge hack. This I've never seen before . Thank you.

@Bigfoottehchipmunk 10 месяцев назад

I have seen something similar for knitting, so why not for crochet. Definitely a useful tip.

@madelaine3209 3 месяца назад

Wow, wow, WOW!!!!!!! Thank you for the straight edges.

@CraftersAutonomous 3 месяца назад

It's such a game changer, right?

@martyrexroat8615 Год назад

I love this hack! However, when I use multiple yarns, I just place each ball/skein in a bowl or flower pot. I don’t have any tangles when I do this. ❤❤❤

@e.darlenelundy-veo3157 6 месяцев назад

Wish I would have known about the “bulky” hack when I made a Snoopy Christmas wall hanging for my son. I worked with only 2 strands, but two balls of yarn. Could you please make a video with a hack for two strands?

@CraftersAutonomous 6 месяцев назад

So there's not really an equivalent version of the 3ply/3strand hack to make it only 2 ply/2 strand. However, when I want to double up on the same type of yarn, I first use my yarn winder to make the yarn into a cake. Then, I can easily work from the center strand and the outer strand of the cake at the same time to double up. It's a lot less tangly than working with two skeins, but do note it's a pain to unravel!

@user-hy1wb4sp7j 6 месяцев назад

Wow! hack #3 is GREAT

@erinstoops1081 5 месяцев назад

The fill in the skip stitch, genius! I've done doubling up my yarn before but that was a nice hack. I think you've shown the alternative double crochet before on a turn project. Y'all😂

@suzannebridges7334 11 месяцев назад

Omg!… this is going to be so great for straight edges on a coaster. My coasters always were a little unsatisfying square, but not pretty this will make a huge difference. Love that hack. Also, the triple strand is great.

@grandmajane2593 10 месяцев назад

I used to just run a single row of extra single crochets around the whole piece to neaten it up a bit. I like her idea though.

@jeanshih1736 10 месяцев назад

All 5 hacks are so useful. My favorite is the 3 strands, it's just brilliant. I was debating if I should 3 balls of yarn for a project, but worries that I may not finished the yarn at the same time, then I ended up with 3 small balls of left over yarns. Or the other way around. Now I can get the extra yarn as needed. Thank you so much for putting this together. Answered so many questions for a beginner crocheter like me. 🙂

@CraftersAutonomous 10 месяцев назад

I'm so glad I saved you from making 3 balls of yarn! I did that for a project years ago before I learned this hack and IT WAS A NIGHTMARE 😂 Thanks so much for watching!

@jeannineenos2758 9 месяцев назад

Wow, the single crochet hack to keep edges straight is awesome!

@AugustaDanner 4 месяца назад

Stumbled upon this. Great tips. I’m going to try them. Thanks.

@marcellespeake4272 11 месяцев назад

For filling in a missed stitch, I do a double crochet to fill the single and triple to fill a double, ect. BUT I go through the v st of current row and under the v for the st I missed. This makes for a flatter work. Try and see which way you like best. Thanks for all the great tips. Have subscribed and watched three of these so far.

@CraftersAutonomous 10 месяцев назад

Love this idea too! It's so fun learning all these little tips and tricks that make crochet that much easier and versatile.

@dotesondots 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the straight edge hack! I always have trouble with the SC stitch edge being uneven. Love it. Also the hack for turning 1 strand into bulky is amazing. That is wonderful because when buying bulky there usually aren't many yards in the skein and you wind up paying a lot more for more skeins that you need.

@CraftersAutonomous 7 месяцев назад

Yes, bulky yarn can get so pricey! And I love how this helps me quickly work through my yarn stash. Thanks for watching!

How in the world did you come up with the triple strand idea for single strand yarn? That is awesome!😮

@CraftersAutonomous 11 месяцев назад

I wish I could claim credit for coming up with the idea, but one of my subscribers told me about it! 😄 I wish I had been able to find the comment where someone explained it to me because I wanted to give them a shoutout in the video. But unfortunately I couldn't find it.
