My friends' kids are always leaving m&m minis candy tubes whenever they come to visit. I peel the wrapper off and use the tube to hold needle and threaded and stitch markers and such. It keeps my on the go project bag neat and organized.

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

That is a great hack!!

@zulemaflores8796 3 года назад

I've never heard of a crochet ring! Thank you, I learned something.

@lindabishop-surbeck2575 3 года назад

Great tips! The one where you made a 3 strand yarn is actually how us spinners make a 3 plied yarn, some call it a chain plyed yarn!

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

I never knew that!

@ari2644 3 года назад

I did that a couple years ago to make a blanket and it really works out nicely :)

@yvonnevzp 3 года назад

That's called chain plying or Navajo ply.

@jalexoneschanel1356 3 года назад

@@yvonnevzp navajo ply is a little bit different, as you ply at the same time as you make the main fiber instead of making a long single and then chain plying after all of the fiber is used up. But yeah, it’s a chain-ply. That’s why you’re able to ‘ply on the fly’

@yvonnevzp 3 года назад

@@jalexoneschanel1356 I have never heard of plying at the same time as spinning the single in all my years of spinning. I can even think of how that would work. That is definitely not how any books or websites I have read have explained Navajo plying.

@epicspacedorito4916 3 года назад

I like to invest in little paper tags that I can tie onto my project and I'll write my hook size. Sometimes I'll leave a project for a few months before coming back and it isn't financially viable to leave the correct hook with each project until I'm ready to pick it up again. I can pick up a couple hundred tags for just a few GBP and they will last forever... You can even reuse them once your project is finished if they're well kept

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

Long time no speak! That's a great tip!

@gunsa9 3 года назад

I do the same thing but with a picture. Everytime I start a new project I take a picture of the yarn I'm using and the hook (along with the pattern if im using one).

@DTrainsWife01 3 года назад

Super smart!!!

@grimiskitty1120 3 года назад

I can see that, you can laminate the tags with clear packing tape so their easier to keep them well kept.

@LaSalamandraTV 3 года назад

The 3 Strand hack saved my life today!!!!!

@itsmemary3124 3 года назад

You can use Bobby pins as stitch markers and to keep your crochet safe when your away from the table. It also works great for knitting as well!

@maribelsoto6552 3 года назад

🤯 literally blew my mind with the 3 strad yarn like whaaaaaat!?

@melodyjwilloughby 3 года назад

I absolutely loved the last tip. Never saw or knew of that one...

@TheCladee 3 года назад

that tripled strand hack is genius!! Ive pondered making my own finger yarn holder myself too!! Thank you!!

@AnonymousAmyMakes 3 года назад

I just started my crochet binder and that's exactly how I did it. Dollar tree. Plastic sleeves. Dry erase markers. It's perfect! I've always been amazed with the 1 strand into 3 cheat. It's so easy and convenient! Thanks Miss Lady!

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

Hey Amy ❤️❤️ I'm trying to think of a part three right now, lol

@karenstrachan287 3 года назад

I always have more than one wip at a time so rather than leave the hook with it, I got some number and alphabet beads and slip the appropriate one on my stitch marker. The beads also make cute stitch markers on lobster hooks on their own. I have bought both at Hobby Lobby and Walmart.

@Desaundrea 3 года назад

I have three stitch markers, don’t remember where I got them but, they have a D, E, and F on them to remind you what hook you were using. 😉

@mkmartin1630 3 года назад

#4--GAME-CHANGER!!! Thanks so much! Just whipped up some cute little pumpkins using this hack.

@VondaInWonderland Год назад

Woah that chunky one was great. And the finger guide, who knew ❤

@YvonneWilson312 3 года назад

I already use #2 and #5 - but I have to say, #4 completely blew my mind! That is an absolute gamechanger! Thank you so much Alysha!

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

It's nice to see a familiar face ❤️ I'm glad I could help

@JaeJasmine 3 года назад

I didn’t know what a finger guide was until I saw this video! Actually looks pretty useful and I might try it because I have some wire laying around. Also love the 3rd hack on tripling your yarn! I need to use that😂

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

I'm glad I gave you a new hack 😊

@lji_btrfly 3 года назад

I have a couple plastic baskets from Dollar Tree (they're about 1 ft tall x 1 ft across and have oval holes all over) to hold yarn and current projects. I got a couple smallish dowel rods (¼ in maybe?), cut them in half and sharpened 1 end with a pencil sharpener. I use them to stick through skeins of yarn and stick the ends through the handle holes in the top of a basket. Then my yarn unrolls easily as I crochet. It works better with the tighter rolled skeins, like Red Heart Super Saver, than the looser, roundish kind. If I roll my yarn in balls, I'll throw it into the basket and pull the yarn through a hole.

@boxoffrogs9712 3 года назад

If you have no spare stitch marker, you can also use a paper clip, safety pin, hair grip (Kirby grip?), plastic covered wire that is used to twist around freezer bag or a twisted/rolled strip of tin foil (aluminium foil). Ziplock bags can hold small projects or crochet hooks. Tic-tac containers for needles. Slip a label from the yarn that you are using into that plastic sleeve that you have the pattern in. If you are making a gift, then also gift a label from the yarn, so that the recipient has the washing instructions. Thanks for another interesting video.

@deannastevens1217 3 года назад

This is wonderful. I use the waxed paper on ALL of my crochet hooks.. It makes the metal ones so smooth and the yarn just glides along... and I learned that from retail when we used it on the clothing racks to keep them from screaching. I tell everyone I know who crochets about it. and I give them pieces of waxed paper that I keep in my crochet bag that I take everywhere. If I have to wait... I crochet. I just made the string runner for the finger. I actually have that dollar tree wire on my sewing desk from other crafting that I do. I've never used one of those but will see how it works. The rest are great tips too.

@lji_btrfly 3 года назад

I also made an organizer out of metal mesh pencil holders from Dollar Tree for my pens, crochet hooks, scissors, etc. I just zip tied 3 of them together in a triangle. You need the pretty small zip ties to go through the mesh holes. You just zip tie 2 of them together, the hold the 3rd 1 to them and put a zip tie where it meets each of the other 2. Pull all the zip ties tight and cut off the excess.

@bethanypowell6840 3 года назад

I took a plastic box with a lid from the dollar general, it's was only $1. I put a hole in two sides of the box and put my ball yarn in the box. I use it when I travel, that way the ball doesn't roll around and get dirty.

@faridasadek9694 3 года назад

@janea7592 3 года назад

I just stumbled upon your channel a couple of hours ago and it's amazing.

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

Janae, I'm so glad you found me ❤️❤️

@MelissaGemini 3 года назад

When working in the round I use a 6 inch piece of ribbon to keep track of the start of new row. Moving the ribbon over the old row and holding it in place with first crochet of next row. As I need more ribbon just pull a little and keep going

@maried3717 3 года назад

Love these tips! Especially the 3 ply yarn hack!

@fearlessfawn6804 3 года назад

A safety pin or hair pin works just as well. Keeps your yarn in place. Or that one earring you lost keep the other. The lever back kind. Alot of crafters use them to make stich markers from them. A magnet on your sewing or side table won't let your small things get away. Such as your needles or markers.

@KrissD. 3 года назад

I’ve made the first one before and do the last one all the time ☺️😁

@susanterry4276 3 года назад

I bought super cheap letter charms and use them on a stitch marker to remind me what size hook I used on the project (in case it gets put down for a period of time). I got mine at Hobby Lobby and they were only about .50 each.

@marytotten1901 3 года назад

love #4 now I finally know and understand how to do it. Thank you for that. Your a genius!

@AuntMindy24 9 месяцев назад

Before I put my work down, I pull the last loop long and tie it into a slip knot. I have never lost a stitch this way.

@nikixv3890 3 года назад

I love the 4th tip is really helpful when the yarn is fine.

@sb-sm8io 3 года назад

I already knew number 4👍

@EJsDaughter 3 года назад

I have two big binders: one for knit patterns, one for crochet patterns. Those sleeves work great! #4 is the tip I keep forgetting. Saving this video for future reference. Thank you!

@tealbruce7145 3 года назад

I don't buy yarn markers, I use hair clips. The wee claws or the metal snappy ones work fine. In a pinch with nothing to hold your work, pull a reallllllllly long loop. Your work won't undo itself. I'm really enjoying your videos, thank you!

@donyaw.1453 3 года назад

I've been crocheting for a while now and I always would put a stitch marker in the last stitch I stopped at for that same reason. I also put one in the 3rd chain when starting a row/ round so I know it's going to be easier when slip stitching in it.

@lizsager9577 3 года назад

@victrauntvein642 3 года назад

I store WIPs in those plastic drawer sets to keep dog hair off of them. I live with 6 dogs so this is a life saver for me. I also store yarn sorted by color in the plastic drawers so it’s easier to find the yarn I need

@Greatgrandmabarb 3 года назад

@donnacurtis5216 3 года назад

@mariaelliott7001 3 года назад

cool beans. thanks for these reminders, especially about the three strand crocheting hack. I actually do that with my markers to hold the yarn in place. sometimes I just tie a loose know where I stopped and undo the knot when I'm ready to start again.

@LittlejohnsYarn 3 года назад

Hey Cheryl ❤️❤️ I'm glad my tips are helpful

@BliffleSplick 3 года назад

I'd say use a stitch marker to create a little tag about what size of hook / needle you used for it. Attach it to where the project started. It's a bit annoying to think you're right and then be able to see where things got tighter / looser when you step back because you went down / up a size.

@sandranevins2144 3 года назад
