How To Crochet A Magic Ring With Easier Slip Knot - Cinch Circle 

You just made my evening! I'm so glad the video was helpful. Happy crocheting!

that's awesome this will help! The skip knot was the only thing that kept me from using this method of magic ring for years, I hope it helps others push through it!

your comment went straight to my heart, thank you so much. It's truly my hope to make things as clear and simple as possible. It's hard to learn a new craft, I remember learning how to crochet and how frustrating it can be. Yes, those yarn tails are always a bit of a pain, lol it's nice to bury them along the way!

it's a Finnish name. Here in Canada most everyone pronounces the J. When I visited family in Finland a few years back it was so weird to have my name pronounced correctly, lol

you're welcome!

ohh I'm so so glad to hear that. Happy crocheting!

I'm so glad! Thank you for the positive feedback. My videos have captions. If you are viewing from a computer, click on CC then click on auto translate then choose Russian. I hope that helps you!

I'm sorry about my other comment, I will take it down. I crochet because it's the cleanest hobby and excellent for working in bed. My daughter is insisting I make amarugi. I don't get the increasing and decreasing. Thank you very much for understanding. Eileen

no worries at all, I'm not offended by the comment. I understand the toll that illness can take. In 2016 I was struck suddenly with an unknown auto immune disease, one that attacks my major organs including my heart. I was bed ridden in a hospital for almost 3 months while every specialist in our city saw me. I had congestive heart failure, my left lung collapsed, my liver wasn't functioning right. It was the scariest and saddest thing I ever went through. To this day I do not have an actual diagnosis, just "auto immune". A year later while on a bunch of medications, including steroids, I ended up getting diagnosed with ulcerative colitis as well and had more time in the hospital. Today I am symptom free thanks to a new medication. I have to take infusions every 8 weeks. My recent check up was good but I have to remain on the infusions for 4 more years, as long as they keep working. I'm okay with that as long as I can live my life. I am getting stronger all the time, almost back to normal. It's been a rough 2-3 years. Being weak can cause a person to also get depressed, that's totally normal.. I had depression for a few months too. It can make us lash out or be sad and angry, it's all part of chronic illness. It is hard and frustrating to be sick, I understand that completely. I wish you peace and strength to get through this time in your life. Picking up a hobby, if you are able to do one, is an excellent way to cope! I encourage you to keep trying. This weekend I will be working on my next video, it'll be more for the beginner.. I can comment back when it's ready to view. It might be a good video for you as it will explain increasing and decreasing. I'll keep you posted. Take care xo

@@SharonOjala I really like the tutorial without the hook. It's easier for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm very glad you are feeling better. My rheumatologist wanted to put me on a biologic years ago. There was a problem with my insurance not paying, very expensive. Great it's working well for you!! Perhaps I'll talk with my physician about trying to get it again. Thank you again. 💖 Blessings.

that slip knot was so hard for me until I did it without the hook. Isn't it funny how our minds work! Now I can do it so easy, lol Yes, talk to your doctor. My doctor had to go through many hoops to get me approved for coverage. It took 3 months of forms and waiting. My infusions are 2,500.00 each! Some companies will pay for you, it's just a matter of a doctor fighting on your behalf. I was also steroid dependent and that made a difference too..I met a few people now with rheumatoid arthritis who come to the clinic same time as me. It does help them. It doesn't hurt to talk to a doctor, maybe even make some calls yourself, find a place that knows about these things and how to make the system work for you. I hope it works out for you, I would be so happy if it did.

no, I don't

@@SharonOjala So sad. I am learning so much. This is terrific and you are so good. Just wanted to be able to make myself notes to remind me of what I need to do. But I will make myself a list. Thanks for doing this.

some things are a bit difficult to explain in written form so I'll just leave it as a video. Thanks for asking though. Any video of mine that is a pattern will have written instructions and those links will be in the description box and or in the i-cards on the screen.
