Stating the slip knot at a certain measurement would create a problem for me. Out of habit, I just pick up my yarn make my slip knot and begin. I would automatically forget to measure.

@mariamaria-un7zj 7 месяцев назад

Your explanation is so clear, it’s great. Thank you

@karenstrachan287 7 месяцев назад

I love granny squares but hate weaving in ends. I may have to give this a try. I am 75 so not sure if it will work for me but want to try it out. I learned to both knit and crochet using RedHeart yarn so I always have to try the new ones.

@magiNING 7 месяцев назад

This is a great idea. If you've ever done color pooling you would know that this will come out fine with right size hook n avg tension. I think it's great n will be on lookout for it. Just hope i like the color combos 😁 thx

@maryann4721 7 месяцев назад

I like the look of granny squares but always hesitated to make anything because I do not like weaving in so many ends. This is a game-changer for me! Thanks for sharing tips on how to get a correct granny square.

@jeanneMN 7 месяцев назад

Me too!

@LetsCreateAGift 5 месяцев назад

its soooo much easier. I've finally decided to make a denim jacket with crochet sleeves now that this yarn does the hard work for you! 2 sleeves made just need to attach them

@wallysworld3435 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for such a great review, explanations, and tips for this yarn. Not all the reviewers are as honest and thorough as you. Really appreciate you.

@patbannister1 7 месяцев назад

It’s pretty but it’s way too stress inducing for me! I’d be worrying about the transition going smoothly the entire time. 🌺🌺🇨🇦

@patriciaandrews6803 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely thought the same 😂. It's very pretty and loved watching Mikey using it.

@rollothecat2010 7 месяцев назад

I agree. I think I will pass on this yarn. I would rather do my granny squares the regular way.

@tikar8982 7 месяцев назад

Same.... unless they come out with the absolute perfect colors (that I can't get anywhere else) I'll probably stick to my old fashioned granny squares.... but this is a very cool idea for those who have more patience than I have. ❤

@kararobar211 7 месяцев назад

I feel the same! I'm curious about how the colours would flow with other types of projects!

@sarabytheseaSD 7 месяцев назад

Same! This would take the fun out of my projects! Especially if I'm gifting the finished product, I feel like I would be giving a gift full of bad, stressful energy!

@cherylmyers6276 6 месяцев назад

I used Red Hart yarn for over 50 years. Made all kinds of crafts. So i thankyou thats my favorite yarn. My grandmother was cold so one day , i made one Big Granny square blanket for her. She was so pleased and i was to. Thankyou Red Hart for giving me a happy memory. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ cheryl Myers of saint Charles mo

@DominiqueMarieJolie 3 месяца назад

Best tutorial for this yarn. So easy to understand. Everyone else ignored the instructions and complained.

@jpat_ 7 месяцев назад

I love the concept and it’s totally worth a project to me. Only thing is, even if you perfect your tension, every round’s gonna be a nail-biter! But that same thing would get me churning them out.

@LetsCreateAGift 5 месяцев назад

yeah, i feel like my tension is pretty consistent, but quite a few of them id have to undo the last couple of clusters to get the end to match up. still prefer it to cutting and tying new colours though!

@KissLeo0915 6 месяцев назад

Also is this by far the best tutorial on the yarn on RU-vid..a lot seemed frustrated and confused but Mikey is always calm and 👍

@MsSaka100 5 месяцев назад

Thank you fir showing the entire process, from start to finish on one square. I’ve watched several reviews/demos of this yarn, and yours is the only one so far that has done this.

@eileenbrooks849 3 месяца назад

Your demonstration of this yarn was the best I’ve seen! Thank you! !!

@DianEnglish56 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for giving us the tips on how to use this yarn. Can’t wait to see the color combos they came up with.

@marinecorpsgurl89 3 месяца назад

Just bought this yarn. I used all of Mikeys tips and it worked. I did realize that different hooks from different companies matter!

@maxinenall9950 7 месяцев назад

Genius idea 😘 Someone at the Red Heart company probably had a grandma that loves to crochet but hates weaving in all the tails of a granny square and so they designed this yarn for her 🥰😂 Thanks 😘😘 love your demo Mikey 😘

@alexcarrn28 7 месяцев назад

I love that you helped back in all those planning stages to get this new yarn and crocheting to work out for all of "we" crocheters'. It is just really cool to me. Thank you so much for everything that I'm always learning from you. Merry Christmas to you and Daniel and all of your families. 🎄❄️🏝🎅♥️🎄❄️🏝🎅♥️❤️

@BlueSkyLissa 7 месяцев назад

Thank you this video, for providing the tips to make it easier for everyone. I love the idea, can’t wait to see what color combinations they come out with. 💜💜💜

@katydidiy 7 месяцев назад

This is brilliant! Looking forward to additional color combos. If you are too, make sure to buy some to encourage Red Heart to keep developing this idea. Mikey, thanks for your great tutorial so we won't give up when faced with problems. I agree, our own personal tensioning is the biggest obstacle in this and many other crocheting situations. PS: how to start the beginning slip knot was my first question❤

@sandaramoore9660 7 месяцев назад

I saw this on another channel…at the price of $12.99…little to steep for me…me and my ends will continue to work on our relationship 🤣🤣🤣 plus I select my own combo of colors.

@whatsmamadoing3188 7 месяцев назад

I can’t imagine that I would be able to do this correctly. But it was sure fun watching you do this Mikey. Thank you for the tips just in case I try it!

@Traci_Websinger 7 месяцев назад

Changing the hook mid-project is kind of a game changer. It's going to save a lot of frogging.

@sylviaseri4235 6 месяцев назад

Just got my yarn today at Joanns. Since I crochet a little on the loose side, I found eliminating the chain 1 inbetween clusters helped a lot. The yarn is great once you get the hang of it.

@judysulak5731 7 месяцев назад

I'm so glad you left in all the opps. it helped me a lot. Thank yoiu

@aprildahlberg6615 7 месяцев назад

You sound better and appear better than the last video I caught. I'm so glad and hope you're feeling better. Love your videos.

@ArtbyCarolaNC 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. My grandmother taught me the granny square as a child, and I love it. Because of her I don’t mind changing colors but this yarn is a game changer & will make the process go faster. More granny square afghans are in my future. Abundant blessings.

@MarshaShaw-vv7kj 7 месяцев назад

Love the idea of minimal ends to weave in!

@anyartnettyandtheknittykit4038 4 месяца назад

@laraburton1748 7 месяцев назад

Mikey, I always appreciate your honesty! You are the best teacher for crochet I have found! I don’t think I could have done most of my projects without your help! Thank you for doing such an awesome job!💕

@kimsaltenberger3837 5 месяцев назад

@carrieellison-kz6ot 6 месяцев назад

MIKEY...many thanks for honesty and all the tips and tricks!!! Great tutorials!

@aldiana218 7 месяцев назад

Great review and the honesty was much appreciated! Looking forward to more colors and playing around with different patterns to see what I can make work! Thank you!

@vikkij.carter652 2 месяца назад

Oh, thank you. I needed the honesty. I was losing my mind when I first started with this yarn. I almost gave up. Your tips are helpful. I love the idea of the yarn, I am grateful you posted this video.

@bethbentley3736 2 месяца назад

Dear Mike, thank you so much for the video!! You are right; relax, breathe and enjoy. It is a bit of a learning curve but I think I can do this. Thanks again, your friend, Beth 😊

@mkmartin559 6 месяцев назад

Appreciated the honesty and you got me excited to use this yarn! Thanks for the demo, xo

@callistehawke9213 4 месяца назад

Thanks, Mikey! I've watched 4 other reviews that talked about the gauge issue, and possible solutions. But your video gave me clear and easy solutions for dealing with gauge. No need to rip out entire rows as they did. I'm going to give this yarn a try. ☺

@martha2395 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely LOVE the concept.....and here comes the but, BUT I don't want to have to constantly frog and change the hook size and/or tension. I tried multiple times using this yarn and did ALL the things needed to get the correct color change for each row and it just stresses me out!! I crochet to help me relax and destress so this yarn is NOT for me for doing granny squares.....and here comes another but, BUT I absolutely LOVE the color ways this yarn so I use the granny square yarn to make other beautiful crocheted projects. 😊

@kelseyverbanac2663 6 месяцев назад

I can’t even explain how much of this I’ve bought…I bought out my Joann Fabric. I need more lol. I love love love this!!!

@sarahkharboutly9011 6 месяцев назад

@rhondaregister8081 6 месяцев назад

@jencrochetingradtech5913 7 месяцев назад

Honesty is absolutely appreciated and always welcome unless it’s about how I’m looking today😂. Thanks for this video. I hope to be able to try this yarn out and hope I can make it work for my projects. Idk that I’ll like it but I will definitely give it a go. Have a great holiday season Mikey ❤

@KatyWatson173 7 месяцев назад

Interesting I saw another crocheter do it with a magic ring and her clusters were a bit different and it still worked. 🙂💖🐈‍⬛🐈🌈

@jenuncensored 7 месяцев назад

I love the idea behind this yarn, but I'd want to customize it. I'm a teal, purple, blue, and green fan.

@notyourgrammascrafts 7 месяцев назад

Haven't tried yet been seeing ads The only thing I was thinking is that it would make it faster For making Granny squares for my homeless project. But it takes away my creativity. And I do like to use up scraps that people give me. Because there's a story in every third and a little bit of love from the whole community goes into one blanket.

@ivysilk6983 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Michael, a great tutorial, so easy to follow and the tips so helpful💖💖🌹🌹.

@vcjtx 7 месяцев назад

I'm looking forward to trying this yarn! Your tips were very helpful - I appreciated your honesty. Thank you!

@ElegantChicken7 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for this informative and succinct tutorial! Quite a few videos I've found are people dogging the pattern or some other aspect of this yarn -- which is disheartening when I have several skeins sitting on top of my stash. While getting the hook size and tension down with a granny square pattern I don't normally use has been challenging with this yarn, you give some solid advice on how to troubleshoot to get it down. Anything preset like this is going to have a learning curve. It's all in your attitude whether you end up frustrated by the challenge. I'm an intermediate crocheter (crochetist?), and the expectations of this pattern and the length of each color made me realize that my natural tension is high. I had to size up to a 6mm hook to hit each round and work more relaxed than I normally do. "Don't lose your mind" has been my catchphrase working up these granny squares. Thanks for a great video!

@sway2865 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for including the time stops I am so excited because it is working and I really didn't think it would because I typically crochet loose. Thanks for all you do for us.

@Crochetingyiayia 7 месяцев назад

Like the concept. The downfall takes away individual creativity. Like to see all what can be made from it

@elaineyakatan2310 7 месяцев назад

Any sweater , handbag etc that is all small granny squares

@alienchola 7 месяцев назад

I mean you can still do a regular granny square

@gsdmom1194 7 месяцев назад

Those are great tips. Thank you. I bought a basket of several colors, not realizing that was what they were for until now. I will be glad I am in the know if I decide to go the granny route. ❤❤❤

@theblondeblogger5132 8 дней назад

Excellent review and tutorial! This was my first time trying this new yarn and yours was the first video I chose to learn how to get it right. And I did! Yay! This really is a game changer, as I am one of the many crocheters who hate weaving in all those ends, too! I hope they keep coming up with more and more color combos! Thanks for the great tips and instructions!

@donnaroach73 7 месяцев назад

Why didnt I think of that !!!???❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@jensright-hook8047 7 месяцев назад

Three things: First I want to say that I love Red Heart and Mikey. Second, I like this idea but I think for me it will take away the relaxation of crocheting from me. There is no watching television while using this yarn 😅 Third, is there enough yarn to sew the squares together?

@rebeccawebb2298 7 месяцев назад

Reminds me of color pooling, with similar guage adjustments.

@stack10ds 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Mikey such a wonderful concept I will look forward to shopping for this year and using it end sewing is such a nightmare So this really changes the game Thanks again

@RollinWithRosie 7 месяцев назад

Great video Mikey!! Thank you, i cant wait to see all the color combos this comes out in, i will be looking for it❤

@ritahiggs8178 7 месяцев назад

Saw this yarn two days ago on a different site. Checked some our stores around town that sell red heart, and no one has it yet. Will keep looking.

@saragriffin3682 7 месяцев назад

@nataliewenzel1729 7 месяцев назад

@juanitaespinoza6619 7 месяцев назад

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of this yarn. Thank you!

@AGoddess18 7 месяцев назад

How fun! Great tutorial and review. Thank you very much.

@bethc8809 7 месяцев назад

This is an excellent showcase for this yarn! I think the thing keeping me from trying it is knowing RH isn't super careful about joining their skeins and I'm concerned there may be a careless join at the manufacturing level. I am sorely tempted to try it anyway, at least one skein.

@sandraschmieg3048 7 месяцев назад

Love your honesty and the tips for getting the color changing in the correct place. As always you “Rock”. Thanks. Can’t wait to try this yarn when it gets to the stores.

@missjasmine3366 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for these tips. I'll need them when my order comes in the mail. I was curious about this new yarn, so I wanred to try it.

@marymarks1784 7 месяцев назад

Thanks I am waiting for it to be in the stores you answered my questions

@lizborgbowman 7 месяцев назад

Love it! Thank you for the tips & specific pattern to make it work out correctly. Looks way simpler than blanket pooling yarn. Can't wait to see all the colorways available!

@charitywhitman1976 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I can’t wait to try this!!!!!!❤

@laurar4465 6 месяцев назад

I never knew about this yarn! I'd love to give this a try! I'm anxious to see what other colors they have. Thanks so much for this video! So calming lol 😊

@gretchenchristophel1169 7 месяцев назад

Interesting concept...and as always thank you Mikey for your honest review, tips and tutorial. 🤗 Being a crafty old crocheter😉 I actually see this as a "pooling" yarn 🤔...so, might have to get a skein just to dip into the pool😂. BTW...I usually turn my granny squares over on every other row...1,3,5, rows would go the same direction,...2,4,6, would be the flip side. To me it makes the granny square a little less "square" and more stylish...might have to get a skein to try that out. Seems like I will have lots of fun this winter. (Wonder how it will work on a round loom...probably like a pool.) Thanks, Mikey..you da' best 🤗

Awesome video. Great hints and techniques. Ready to try this out...

@donnaroach73 7 месяцев назад

I received my yarn today. Your tips were excellent! I found for me using an H hook throughout works best and tightening up on the last side if I need to. What a game changer for granny square crochet enjoyment with two ends to weave in. Just awesome. Thanks for this great tutorial!

@geenabeanscrochetandmore3533 7 месяцев назад

I absolutely love this idea. I love granny squares but hate weaving in ends. Can’t wait to try.

@AGoddess18 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this clear tutorial and tips on fixing transitions. My first square had a three inch color flaw between the second and third colors. I was able to manage the loss of 3 inches with your help. I hope this flaw isn’t a frequent occurrence because I love the concept ❤

@kima.6611 5 месяцев назад

Alright, I finally bought a couple skeins of this yarn, and I have my first ever granny square! Juan the Yarn Addict got me going on crochet in October. I'm really enjoying it. Since I'm new, I don't have any muscle memory or "the way I've always done it", or "that's how I was taught". I did find that the first color had to be done with a 5mm hook and tight stitches. I hit all the marks using 2 hooks (5mm and 5.25mm). It was fun and I will probably make a blanket with the squares.

@ChrisTina-ln4yk 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your honest assessment of this new yarn and how to make it work. Based on how I work I think this is *not* the yarn for me but I wouldn't have otherwise known that without first trying it myself first, and probably getting pretty frustrated! Thank you again, Mikey!
