Thank you so much for this. I used to crochet in '80s. Now I'll have to start all over again but my work will be clean and smooth. But I have no one to crochet for. The seniors knit and crochet. Crochet gifts don't get the respect. I used to do lace with beads in the pattern. No one really wanted it. I'll give another try once my fingers heal.
If you make the things people want you could even get paid. If you make what you want it may not be what others want… Just doing things for yourself can be enough.
@@noeraldinkabam Thank you! You are so right, and I even promised myself that I shouldn't care what other people think! What I stated before was my old way of thinking. I first cared what others thought. Now I promised myself to change. Your thoughts gave reason to go back to crocheting! Crochet styles and techniques have expanded too! Thank you so much!!! 🤗
@@lcn325 Also, there are LOTS of charities that are looking for donated crocheted items. Preemie and baby hats and blankets, hats, scarves and mittens for young children in school, NICU octopus mobiles for the hospitals (although these have specific patterns and requirements but are SUPER fun to do!), lapghans and afghans for seniors and the homeless.....so many funs projects and so little time! :D Also, there is now Etsy and Ravelry where you can sell what you create (which didn't exist back then). I would take a look at what is currently available for purchase and see if there's something that you find interesting. Be creative and, as you mentioned, do what you most enjoy doing! :D Good luck with your future projects, have fun and may you continue to be blessed with health. :)
As a Tunisian, I crocheted a lot when I was in middle school and especially in summer holiday 💙💜 I love love love to crochet and I learned that from my mum and my grandmother ❤️❤️ you appliyed the rule correctly 👍👍
You can be a good teacher for us those interested to learn this. My late mother was expert in this. But unfortunately we unable to learn from her because she died when I'm on my very young age. 😕
I love it! I haven't crocheted since middle school, but I've been thinking about taking it up again and a scarf made with this technique may be my first project!
This is such a Beautiful stitch. The way you teach it you show that anyone can do it, and look like they’re pro’s. 😍😍 Thank you for taking the time to show us. 😊♥️♥️🌈🌈🇨🇦🇬🇧
Здравствуйте мои добрые люди. Я очень увлекательная натура и мне все хочется попробовать. Я люблю вязать и всегда ищу,что совсем необычное и красивое. Спасибо вам большое за этот визуальный и подробный урок творчества!!!
Agreed! The basic has always been a bit slow for me to like to do much. But, this looks like it would be a LOT more fun to do! :D I will definitely try this in the future. :)
I have used this stitch with variations to make afghans in the past. We call this the afghan stitch, but I have never done it with two alternate colors like this. It's really attractive. Thank you.

Aula muito explicativa, fácil, trabalho lindo, obrigada por compartilhar, Sou do Brasil, cidade de São Paulo Gratidão, que Deus abençoe sempre suas mãos ❤️❤️❤️
Amei essa aula muito bem explicada com detalhes. Que DEUS continue abençoando suas mãos ✋ ✋ É a primeira vez que entro nesse canal, já ganhou uma inscrita e já ativei o sininho não quero perder nada. Obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Sou do Brasil cidade de Belo Horizonte MG
You end the last row similar to regular knitting called casting off. After finishing return pass you start next row as usual except after you put first loop on hook you pull it through and slip stitch to loop on hook. Keep going until the end hope this makes sense. 😊
It’s beautiful. I wish I knew how to knit. I tried it at the beginning and of COVID but I would get more loops than what I started with. I would get nice rows but the most I would get was three or four and then starti g have I g more loops. I really enjoyed watching g you knit. It’s somehow very relaxing for me. Thank you for sharing. Maybe I will try it out again.
You're doing it wrong. You may not realize it yet, but when you do it the right way it makes a huge difference! I did my first blanket this way. I did it the right way the second time and it makes a huge difference!
Actually, they aren't doing it wrong. They are simply showing a different stitch pattern than the "traditional" Tunisian crochet stitch. There are actually LOTS of different stitches you can make using a Tunisian/Afghan crochet hook. Technically, you can even use these hooks to make any regular crochet stitch as well. Doing yarn work is more about being creative than using the "right" or "wrong" stitches. If you have a stitch you like, by all means, use it. However, this is a new stitch for me (and I've been doing this for a LONG time!) and I'm actually excited to try doing this in the future. Good luck with your projects and have a blessed day. :)
WOW!! Absolutely beautiful and so simple to follow🥰. At the end of the video….What is the long hook you showed the completed project? Is that long hook double sided? I would greatly appreciate your response as a beginner I’m so eager to learn more. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻
Just take it one stitch at a time and be patient. If the video goes too fast, slow it down or pause it. It can take a long time to get used to getting the tension correct (which is usually the most difficult thing for beginners). As you do it more frequently, it will get easier. :) Just like learning how to play the piano, you don't start out playing Mozart in a day. ;) ;) But, I have faith in you! You can do it! Just give yourself permission to take the time to learn. :)
I've always appreciated croquettes and knitting and get a real satisfaction from just watching you croquet. Which is easier, croquet or knitting? The finishing product on either are amasing but I feel with croquet it can be more ornate. Can one ever croquet chunky garments as per chunky knit? I'm gonna have to start but would be nice to know if one is easier over the other (croquet or knit). Thank you for sharing your creativeness.
i learned knitting before crochet and heres my experience. it was kinda hard for me to grasp the knitting concept so i struggled quite a lot at first but it got easier by time. as for crochet, i learned it pretty quickly without much problem. I think that both knitting and crochet are quite similar in terms of difficulty level. Knitting normally only uses 'knit and purl' stitches, whereas theres vast amounts of different types of stitches in crochet, like single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, etc. In my opinion, knitting produces a nicer textured piece which is pleasing to skin and eyes, while crochet produces a unique texture and pattern, so it's a matter of preferences which one you prefer. And yes, you can crochet using chunky yarn too. I feel like my comment went out of topic but I hope it answered your question nonetheless.
So crochet is faster. While you can technically perform stitches a little bit fast knitting, crochet fabric works up faster. Great for those with no patience like me lol
I was taught both crocheting and knitting when I was a teenager by my grandmothers. Knitting always felt awkward and clunky to me, so I ended up doing more crochet. However, I saw a knitting video earlier this year that showed someone knitting in a different way than I was taught. After doing some research, I discovered that there are LOTS of different ways to knit! After watching several RU-vid channels, I switched from an "English" (or throwing) style to a "Continental" style and haven't looked back! :D Thankfully, my experience with crochet has helped me pick back up knitting quickly. I have found that what you knit vs what you crochet is strictly personal preference. I like to do "wearables" with knit and "decorative" items with crochet. But, they both have their uses. I would suggest eventually learning how to do both. Regardless of what you eventually decide, good luck with your future projects. :)
How do I activate the bell. I love this for a baby blanket. Would you please be so kind how many std in 4 ply yarn I would need and what the dimensions would be. Thank you so much and keep up your wonderful work. Rita
You should just be able to click on the bell to activate it. As for the baby blanket, I would start by working up a small swatch of about 10-15 stitches with about 10 rows or so. Then, you can measure how many stitches and rows you have per inch (or centimeter as needed.) These measurements will vary depending on your hook size and how tightly or how loosely you crochet. Once you know your "gauge," you can then decide how large you want your baby blanket to be. Then multiply the stitches and rows accordingly. Hope this helps and good luck! :)
