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.

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 Месяц назад

Great

@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.

@diggingmary129 9 месяцев назад

Those were my favorite two hacks too!!

@marisameans9859 9 месяцев назад

Does the edge stitch work on other stitches besides sc ?

@stephaniesmedes21 9 месяцев назад

Agreed!! Wonderful tips!! Thank you for sharing these "hacks"!

@NB-ww3dy 3 месяца назад

The hack is from TL Yarncraft. Toni offers awesome hacks too.

@TheCreativeBee4 10 месяцев назад

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

@CraftersAutonomous 9 месяцев назад

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

@helloitstabitha 4 месяца назад

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

@AmberMorris-xe6bn Год назад

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

@impunitythebagpuss 10 месяцев назад

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 9 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.

I like #3 three strand hack.🎉

@fawnjenkins7266 9 месяцев назад

Awesome hack #3!! So genius making 3 strands out of 1. Thanks!

@JaneSmith0709 9 дней назад

Hack #3 is life changing!!! Thank you! I'll never get that missed stitch one, even though I need it.

@CraftersAutonomous 7 дней назад

It's crazy how simple the hack makes it to bulk up yarn, right? As for the missed stitch hack, that's totally okay! I even forget how to do it sometimes myself 😆

@wheelwithheelsCanada 2 месяца назад

The single crochet hack for a cleaner edge is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

@faeriebell 5 месяцев назад

What a good idea for tripling the yarn!

@carlycharlesworth1497 28 дней 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 27 дней 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.

@galiane7365 Год назад

Love the ones for the straight edge and how to triple your thread without using three balls at once! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.

@CraftersAutonomous 2 месяца назад

It's such a game changer, right?

@marshanotmarcia7433 6 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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@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!

@jesusajuarez6955 4 месяца назад

I really like your Hacks, they are very helpful, and I am grateful for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽

@martyrexroat8615 11 месяцев 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. ❤❤❤

@PZenor 2 месяца назад

Thank you for your hacks. I am learning a lot from your videos!

@erinstoops1081 4 месяца 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😂

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 2 месяца назад

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

@Bigfoottehchipmunk 9 месяцев назад

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

@miss-asketches5284 Год назад

Hack #3! I've never seen that. Thanks! 👍

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

So glad you enjoyed!

@jeanshih1736 9 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 9 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!

@dotesondots 6 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 6 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!

@czmzawahir7131 9 месяцев назад

I will try the no 3 hack. Thank you.

@alemapretsof 7 месяцев назад

Hack number two blew my mind! I might be able to gift an item without doing finishing rows all around! Thank you!

@suzannebridges7334 10 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 9 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.

@kimberlidetrick1509 6 месяцев назад

@anyagodwin5197 10 месяцев назад
