What if you followed what she does in the video but also tie the tails of the yarn together? I’m not sure how it would work but it might add a little extra comfort since the knot would still be there but hidden and secured with the technique used in the video. I haven’t switched colours much when crocheting and haven’t crocheted in a little while but definitely want to start again soon. I’m definitely the same way though, I tie knots whenever I’m worried about how a yarn project will hold together (knitting, crocheting, etc).
Good 😆 better than hours of work to get oofed in the wash. The only thing that that would be a good idea with is wool because it felts to itself and makes a fleece.
I have been crocheting for 3 year. But I've never had the patience to crochet something big and I've kind of quit over time. But I've been watching your Temperature blanket series and it inspired me to to start crocheting again. I hope to start a bigger project soon. And maybe next year I will start a tempature blanket. Thank you! I love your channel!
Just a thought. Perhaps try a blanket/ throw made from simple squares, like a Granny pattern. It may not seem so daunting. Good luck. And you can do it! 😀
I learned to crochet when I was maybe like 9 years old. Finally made a large item (a blanket), because I bought super bulky yarn so it worked up faster and felt more satisfying to see it grow quickly 😂
I have used this method forever, however, I fold the “tails” up and over the new yarn BEFORE make the single chain. Then I continue on just as you showed. It does save A LOT of time
i have been knitting my whole life and recently crocheting and i have always just cut the old color and tied on a new one! super easy and no one can tell.
My great grandma taught me to crochet when I was around 8. I crochet to this day and I have NEVER seen a color transitioning so clean. 😭 I do this complicated way. This is so much better.
I would throw just a quick little double knot on there, and I do because I've had projects come apart like this because just weaving in those ends isn't going to necessarily secure it enough to prevent that from unraveling. Especially if it's a blanket or something that you've told the person they can wash in a machine, even on delicate
Lmao, I never could figure out YT tutorials about changing colors so I just winged it and did what seemed like common sense and since it worked I just kept doing it, I’m happy to know I was doing it right even if I had to figure it out myself.
Wow! I’ve been crocheting for a few years now and never touched color changing because it looked too complicated. Thank you so much for making my life better!
@@purelightapologetics4930 nah man you should have seen my knots because i wanted to be fancy and do a 30 stitch wide scarf with 6.5mm yarn nah man you aint getting that out of one skein
I can see that this video is older but THANK YOU!!!! I was so worried about how to combine colors and yarn/skeins and I just got it done on the thread i was using. Now it's time to keep going and finish this blanket!!!
I can’t wait till my stitches look nice. It’s day three of learning and they don’t look bad but definitely uneven. I think I finally figured out the best way for me to keep my yarn taught.
I can tell you that I used to do that with the ends but as a crocheted for almost 50 yrs now I can also tell you that the ends can and a lot of times do come out.
Ty for the refresher. I suffered a stroke and could no longer hold the small, thin, typical hook in my hand tightly or properly and 3yrs later, I finally got myself a nice ergonomic set with rubber handles. My 10yo son said he wants a scarf bc it is currently -3 outside and I couldn't remember how to drop a color completely. I really hope I don't let him down. This is my 1st project since then.
I forget where I originally learned that technique but that's how I do it to I makes changing colors so much easier and I love being able to crochet around the tails so I don't have to go back and try to weave them in later, because that was always kind of hard for me
Those ends are not secure. You must "weave" in your ends back and forth. These will work their way loose and leave holes as the blanket gets used and washed ✌️❤️😊
I don't really understand how to weave in ends. Your comment has helped a bit. But I did realize myself that this is not the way to go because of exactly what you said the ends just come out.
My Uncle used to make amazing blankets with a ton of different colors like that... he taught me the basics of crochet and knitting but this was one of the things that was always a mystery to me.
I was I Tennessee The week before the heat advisory and my family keeps saying if we came a week later we would be going the the water park at Dollywood instead of the park
I always tie a knot before I crochet over my ends. I had a blanket come out of the wash with an end undone and unraveled about 6 rows once. After that I ALWAYS tie a knot. It works the same, you just tie a small knot before you work over the ends. :)
I use this same technique, although I leave the tails a bit longer. I usually crochet them into the row for about 10 stitches and then weave the tail back on itself twice. This ensures the yarn goes a different direction 3 times so it won’t come out. Tedious, but I’ve never had a project unravel doing it this way. Crocheting it into the row the first time just saves you from weaving it once.
i have been crocheting for a while and i never use knots, its not necessary, i recommend leaving a long tail and weaving it through your work, if you just crochet over them it will come apart, hope you enjoy your day and crochet
I also did a temperature blanket (the high temp of the day) of 2022 I fell so far behind I'm only on September of 22. I did granny stitch with a black row between month. You helped me not get to discouraged with my blanket thank you this blanket is my first huge project
You're energy is always so positive and your voice is so calming to me, and I just feel like you'd be awesome to be friends with! I'm so glad i found you to learn from!
My favorite hack for this is to do exactly what she did, just when you have a little left of your tails after crocheting you pull the crochet bit tight and scrunched then keep crocheting so when you un scrunch it, you arent left with aka awkward little fuzz sticking out!
I’m a beginner, no one taught me this because those tutorials always said I just need to hide it by sew the rest inside the stitches. But I did this instead because I think it’s easier and saves more yarn
Thank you 🎉 I have watched at least three different videos of how to do this and they have all done it differently and it is messy. This is how I figured out how to do it myself the way you did it🎉
This is the first time I have ever seen anyone work/weave in their ends the way I do! And it’s so effective! I’ve never had any problems with it in over 20 years of crocheting
I always forget about crochet during the year then get back into it during the holidays to make gifts for people. I really appreciate quick, to-the-point videos like this because I can't be watching a thirteen minute video of something i just need a refresher for. Thank uuu
Nice, I've been doing the color change same as you but I like the hack of crocheting in the tails. I would probably still leave a bit double back with a yarn needle but I love how easy this is
OMG thank you so much I ran out of yarn, making my mother scarf and I didn’t know how to continue! Thank you so much you also taught me from another short after crochet😄 thank youuu!!!!!☺️ love your vids
Thank you for sharing that! I just wanted to say that I think you look fabulous with your make up and hair the way it is! Just a compliment. I like to give compliments.
THANK YOU FOR WEAVING YOUR ENDS IN LIKE THIS its how i do it and this is like the first time i’ve seen anyone else do it like this and it makes so much sense because everyone complains about weaving in ends and i’m just like screaming “CROCHET IT IN AS YOU GO” at my phone 😂
