Helen Ingram from Woolly Chic shows us how to hold a crochet hook and yarn when starting out on our crochet journey. Watch more demonstrations from Helen on Yarn Lane on Freeview 74, Sky 670 or here on our RU-vid channel.
I learnt to do it this way when I was younger and then I stumbled on other videos showing a different method and couldn’t get it.. but this is better now
Thanks so much for demonstrating your technique for holding your yarn. I use this method as well. I tried to keep my index finger pointed up as shown in so many other videos, but it was not comfortable for me and the tension was not consistent.
There is no reason whatsoever to keep that finger up, it will get tired very easily. The goal is to be comfortable, to be able to work for a long time without fatigue or unnecessary tension.
Your technique of holding yarn is best for me. The other techniques from other RU-vid demonstrators was just too much for holding yarn. Thank you kindly
Who else threw their hook across the room and is now crying because their hook is to big but you have no money and your parents refuse to buy you another one is don’t even care even though they asked you what was wrong 👇
although I can't agree with the parent thing (I don't know if the issue is my hook being too big or small so I didn't ask for a new one yet) but I am indeed resisting the urge to sob and bang my head into the wall repeatedly. It's like no matter how much tutorials I watch, nobody is ACTUALLY showing how to deal with the hook and yarn frfr and it's so frustrating bro. I would quit but I have to make TWO projects which are due in Feb I'm literally about to scream LMBO
