I crocheted for 24 hours as a beginner | crochet with me challenge, reading vlog 

thank you so much everyone for the love on this video, as someone just starting out it's so encouraging 🩵🩵 I've gotten a lot of question on the first blanket that I made, so I thought I'd pin a comment with some info!! ----> I used 6 skeins of bernat blanket perfect phasing yarn and an 8mm crochet hook when I got to the end of one skein I would continue on with the same color of the next one (so I would start with the center color of the skein then start with the outside color of the next skein so the color transition was seamless) the pattern I used is a granny rectangle, so I suggest looking up a tutorial if you're not sure where to start! here's one that helped me (and don't forget to turn your work after each round 💕): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6goxlVLxenU.html Here's a link to the tik tok made by the original creator: www.tiktok.com/@the_theseus/video/7247998393669193003?_r=1&_t=8jHXcrSlwy7

I think it’s more convenient to center pull your yarn, it gets less tangled and once you’ve found it it’s just easier

I came for the crochet but i am completely enamoured with how you talk about books. You really make it feel like I’m gabbing with the girls!!! And I love this audiobook representation! I for one have a really hard time reading physical books and I love multitasking so listening to an audiobook while I knit/crochet is life changing. I loved this video, definitely subscribing!

I am a center puller from skeins, but since I got my cake winder, I wind all of my yarn and then pull from the outside because the cakes sit nice and flat.

flipping the ghost inside out was actually the correct thing to do! my first amigurumi (a lil octopus) was a fail bc i didn’t know that the work curls up naturally in the opposite direction than it’s supposed to. you’re doing a great job! i hope you keep enjoying yourself and would love to see more crochet content if it feels fun for you!

no way you’re such a small youtuber?? i watched ur whole video thinking u were like well-established and had been doing this forever!

i use to watch my grandmother crochet before she passed! you're as fast as her oh my!! I lived with her my whole life and always watched her crochet!! im so suprised how fast u are as a begginer!!

girl how do u only have 500 subs this is like one of the best videos i’ve watched in a while!! (i’m definitely subscribing)

I love how comfortable you are with the camera and how you talk about the books P.s. I’ll always try to center pull when I can

the blanket is so cute omg 😭😭😭

I try to center pull, but sometimes it can back fire and turn into a knotted mess... Truly the worst. A yarn winder also helps!

absolutely LOVE the reading and crochet crossover vlog!

I just made an ombré blanket with the same bernat yarn! It’s so cozy.

okay I may of watched this 20 mins ago but I just wanted to tell u please don’t ever give up ur now my favorite crochet you tuber I can’t wait to see more crochet videos!! Also if I don’t answer ur reply’s I will soon!❤

You are such a great crocheter especially for a beginner. My first projects were not nearly as neat as yours. Keep it going! And I loved the book content thrown in too! ❤️❤️ literally my dream day is now crocheting and reading during breaks lol. Also, I would say where you pull the yarn from is def up to preference, center pull is easier until (usually) the skein collapses on itself.

Hi you are doing great as a beginner crocheter keep it up the blanket is pretty and also you can pull from the sides or pull from the outside what ever works for you.

I always... always!... center pull because the flipping around of the skein drives me wild lol. Also, I impulsively bought that phasing yarn in purple last time I was at Joann so thank you for the blanket idea. I'm excited to try and actually finish a blanket project

11:08 that took a turn!!

I think the center pull is more prone to knots. if you work w more than one skein of the same color, it’s honestly worth it to ball it up. It just makes a more pleasant experience. That said honestly do whatever you like more bc it doesn’t rly matter and the differences aren’t that big. Also I just got this vid recommended to me, never seen you, but I think i love you lmao I hope you have a wonderful week

Omg i relate so much to the flow state. I’ll be up till 3am knitting because I just zone out into it and love to see the progress

New subscriber here and what attracted me to your channel is that you’re a beginner crocheter like me but you are also a lover of books / audiobooks so we have a lot in common. ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I love this style of video with my two favs crochet and reading!!!❤

subscribing because i love your personality and i wish i could have a friend like you to sit and listen to something with as we crochet all day 😂

A reader an crocheter??? I instantly subscribed

My two FAVORITE things in the world are reading and crocheting so the fact you combined them! Mmmm I officially love you. Also I was gonna read the perfect marriage but since you told me about it now I know to just move it down my list a little!

I completely agree with you on the Goodreads thing. I usually research a book TO DEATH before reading, only to find I that some of the books I've loved aren't always the highest rated😅 to each their own I guess! Lol

about yarn pulling - i just make a ball of yarn before i start project, so I know if there are any imperfections, i untie knots and other unworldly things that you can find in the yarn skeins 🤣 turning one skein into the ball takes me around 15 minutes and a piece of mind for the rest of the project

While I am a center-pull girlie, there is a really cool hack I saw the other day on TikTok. If you like wearing Crocs, what you can do is jab a long crochet needle through your ball of yarn and then hang it between the holes in your Crocs and use it as a way to pull the yarn from the outside. Super handy! ❤

To answer your question, it doesn’t really matter which yarn you pull, but I personally think the middles yarn is better because it gets less tangled and its cleaner and easier. Love your video!!❤

You’re actually so good for a beginner!! Beautiful blanket c:

Great video, Paige. My girlfriend Kayley loves crochet.

How does this angel only has 896 subs ?! Your extremely talented and underrated ❤ I love you and ur vids sm ! Edit: Keep doing what you love and never give up

For me, I prefer using the outside yarn. Also, I normally take my skeins and roll them into balls of yarn before I start my projects. It just works best for me.

You just gained a new subscriber! Your vibe is everything and I hope to see more crochet content from you 🫰🏽🫰🏽

Stop 😂 I want to be your friend! I laughed so much while you were talking about the book because I’m literally the same way 😂 I read Fourth Wing 3 weeks ago and I’m still thinking about it 🫠 also, currently crocheting a cardigan 😅 after seeing your blanket, I might have to try making that next 😍

I like to pull from the center, it’s just more satisfying when you finish a skein! Plus, I hate having my skin bounce around all over the place.

I am team outside pull, because when you center pull it uses the inside of the skein and leaves a pile of knotted yarn from the outside.

Your blanket is amazing! I’m so impressed at how much you got done in a weekend. Wow! My thoughts on working yarn from the skein. 1) I pull from the outside if I know I’m not going to use the whole skein at once. The leftover is more compact and doesn’t create a pile of yarn barf. 2) I pull from the inside on big projects when I know I’ll be using multiple skeins and it won’t roll around or get tangled which happens when I use the outside. Love the video and the book talk.

Some advice, even from a beginner myself: Always pull from the center. For 1, it allows easier crocheting, especially if you're going at a good pace. For 2, like another commenter already said, it makes it less likely to tangle and it doesn't move around as much like if you were to do it from the outside

both methods are normal for a skein (outside yarn and heart thread), and both have their own benefits. The heart's a little harder to find most of the time and tends to come out in a clump, which can make a bit of a mess if you're not careful. Like, doesn't damage your yearn but sometimes the heart comes out bigger than you'd expect.

you got a new subscriber.this video was so much fun to watch.also that mushroom granny square is adorable

I've been center pulling in skeins for years (all weights), easier to keep loose tension and knot free working yarn, but it can get messy at the end when the skein collapses. Unravelling from the outside end is just extra time spent stopping stitches to roll the skein around for a pool of working yarn and I don't want to stop to do that when I'm in the zone. I just got a ball/cake winder for $25 and it is The BEST Purchase I've ever made for yarn tools. If there is any tangling at the end, it's in the last 10-20 yards verses the last 50 from skein center pull which is great because I tend to work big projects with lots of skeins.

Hello, I just found your video and thought I’d watch your 24 hour crochet. I try to find the center end of the yarn it’s easier to pull from there. Otherwise the yarn ball bounces all over and sometimes it can cause a tangle or twist in your yarn, but it’s ultimately up to you. I love that huge granny square blanket I’m inspired. I love your ghost and paper is great as filling and that mushroom square. Amazing

Stop it you're way too cute I wanna be your friend so bad. The blanket's looking so cute and cozy 💕

I loved watching your video! 😊 I'm knitting a champagne cardigan right now and I usually rewind my yarn to make sure I don't have a lot of knots or a tangled mess inside 😄 after rewinding the yarn stands on its own and I can take it wherever I want without chasing after it 🙈 Your joy about the second book was so refreshing, I think I'm gonna start listening to audio books whole crafting! Happy crocheting 🎉

Crochet fast becomes addictive (I started learning in Jan this year) Please take care of your eyes and remember you should be focusing 20 feet away from you for a few minutes every 20 minutes or so to prevent eye strain.

Girlll this is my first time watching you and i am OBBSESSED, you are sooo funny and witty and its everything

I get so obsessed with crochet when the weather gets colder and through winter then by spring I'm ready to throw all my yarn out 😅

Inside or outside pull for your yarn is completely up to the user. I prefer to do an outside pull (no yarn barf). However, I have a husband with a 3D printed who prints me so many yarn related things. Several are yarn holders. I have a lazy susan type yarn holder that spins as I use the yarn. He also designed and printed a yarn holder that has a wrist attachment so you can hang your yarn from your wrist and walk or stand while knitting or doing crochet.

I subscribed... I to am a fellow Crocheter, I have been crocheting for over 50 yrs... A RU-vidr "Hooked By Robin" does a lot of easy patterns to learn from... Keep it up. Don't Stop... Much LOVE from Oklahoma...

I pull from the outside of the skein, but only because I put mine on a pendulum called a Wool Jeanie, so it spins on there and never gets tangled up and freely flows as I crochet. Love everything you're making, you're doing so well for someone new at it. My first projects were super messed up looking 😂

Hii, came to your channel newly for this video, you flipping the ghost the other way actually made it right side out the messier side in amigurumi is usually the wrong side, and the nicer side that the stitches look good on is the right side!! it's definitely hard to tell as a beginner but when I made stuffed animals when I was just starting out, I could tell if it was the right side out if I was crocheting towards the left on the round (clockwise) and if I was crocheting on the round to my right instead (counterclockwise) then I knew I needed to flip it!

I need to start listening to audio books! I love reading, but with kids and life in general, I don't have a lot of time to crochet and read.

I just saw that you havent uploaded in a few months and that makes me very sad, i loved this crochet/book content and would love to see more of your work

I felt the same when I saw house of night book reviews ! 😂 I was like they just don't understand the vibe, the drama 😂

Omg I love your videos so much

i'm a beginner knitter and am gonna learn how to crochet soon! thanku for the blanket inspiration! :~)

Came because of the crocheting but I also love how you talk abt books. I also love dark/obsessive male lead characters cuz they are so fun to read lol

omg this video is instresting i jst stopped everything i was doing when u postedd!!

i pull the outside yarn because with worsted weight it gets tangled and yarn vomits everywhere when i pull from center. also for the ghost, there is a right and wrong side since its amigurumi, so the "inside" was probably just the correct side!!

I usually pull from the outside when I’m working straight from the skein because when you center pull it has a tendency of getting all floppy and tangled, it’s also very inconvenient to carry around the tangled floppy mess of yarn when I bring it to school

I pull from the inside because then the skein doesn‘t always roll around. It just lays still. Really easy to work with in any situation.

Hi, I’m so glad to have ran into your video. One book I will recommend is The House Maid by Freida McFadden. It is a gooood book to read. There is a second part to it . I need to get my hands on the second book to read. Can’t wait. Enjoy crocheting 🧶 😊

Make more crochet vids!!! I love you!!! 🎉 you’re so cute

i love ur accent omg and i love these videos omgg- i cant believe u posted right as i was looking at ur page im so happy u posted also u should check out chunky yarn! perfect for a blanket i havent finished watching the video yet but- im new to crochet ive only made like..150+ inch chain-....but anyways ur so underated !!

I also crochet stuffs to gift my close relatives. They just feel like they have more meaning.

I dig in there and fight to pull apart the big blob lol

Great job. Love the blanket

I’m a beginner crocheter too new subscriber btw

So most people use center pool I like to use the outside so I can see how much yarn I have left especially with chunky yarn. I would definitely do the outside just so you’re aware and you don’t start a game of yarn chicken

Dig for the middle piece it makes it a lot easier to keep going with with less stops

The fangirl giggles whenever she talked about books is EVERYTHING

yes it is better to use the center pull but depending on the type of yarn it will have a middle or not

subscribed :) (i litterly went to sub and i was so shocked you only have 161 subs, defo thought it would be over 5k because this video was actually interesting) Remember me when your famous :)

keep all your yarn scraps to stuff plushies, pillows, etc. this helps A LOT!!!!

I always pull from the outside!! Whenever I try to pull it from the middle it gets messed up 😅

hey! if you have stitch markers i think that’ll def help with dropping stitches !! i had that issue with my squares (still do have that issue but it’s better now) and i used to center pull but ive got soooo much yarn barf over the past few months so i just started outside pulling. might 3d print me a yarn winder

Are you kidding?? Books and crochet?? 😍😍😍😍

no way she isn't more popular

I found if you put a popsicle stick in the middle of your yarn before you start and it will not tangle up on you

Can you please make more crochet videos They're really enjoyable ❤❤

Dig for the middle!!! The skeins move around less

I'm making a granny rectangle blanket now

You can pull your yarn from we’re ever you want but I like to do it from the middle

I use middle peace to not mess up the outside❤❤

So with any chunky yarn you have to use your fingers to feel for the stitch also new subscriber ❤

Really enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the good work🥰

Omg she is so adorable

I literally stopped the video and went to borrow the audiobook right away. I need to know what you're talking about!! hahahahha

This was an enjoyable video!!

There are yarn that are center pull or outer pull. The way the yarn is wrapped that you are showing should use the yarn on the outside. If you pull from the center you will have a lot of yarn barf. Nice blanket.

As another youngest child, ty for giving me ideas, though getting 3 done one top of other projects may be a struggle

I think you can get the stuffing from Joanne Fabrics but I got eyes from a hobby lobby

I'm a center pull girlie, but I will no longer do that with yarn from hobby lobby. It always gives me yarn barf. Specialty yarns I decide based on how it feels.

loved this!!!!

It's easier to crochet from the middle than the outside. I have a yarn winder just because you can't always find the one on the inside so I rewind all my yarn before I use it just to be able to pull from the middle lol. I know I'm extra. LOL

Omg you look so kind !!! I wanna be your friend 🥰

ik this was made 2 months ago so your probably have the eyes but if you need eyes for a project and you don't got them then you can use black yarn/string and then sew it into the project. you can also use beads if your in a very tight pinch

i personally pull from the middle if its acrilic yarn or just not fluffy yarn and for fluffy yarn i full from the side if im making a blanket i like pulling from the side but middle is definitly more convienyent

I find pulling works well until your to a certain point then you get big tangled chucks coming out
