Thank you so much for all the tips. I’m 69 years old. So YES you can teach an old dog new tricks! ❤️

@joannegreen7041 2 года назад

Yes! I'm 68, crocheting since I was 15yo! There are SO MANY new ways and stitches to crochet now! I've learned more in the last 6 or 8 years with RU-vid than in the last 40 years!

I just turned 65 last night, and I still can't stand granny stitch. It seems that's all we had back when I was a teen!

@pzpierce 8 месяцев назад

I’m 72 and guess what? I decided to teach myself how to crochet last month-all thanks to my RU-vid “associates.” YES! Loving everything I have learned so quickly. I promised my 10yo granddaughter we would crochet together, but I had to learn first. She is right-handed (I’m not), so I learned her way. My brain has adapted perfectly. I thank all my teachers!!

@brendacooper8905 8 месяцев назад

@@pzpierce Good luck! I know you can do it. ❤️

@juliakupas 2 года назад

Back in the day (think ‘60s!) we didn’t have great hints like these. Most of my patterns came from Family Circle. Thank you for solving several issues - especially joining and foundation stitches!

@bonnieperkins1419 2 года назад

Great. Crocheted for many years and did not know all these tricks. Especially liked foundation stitches.

@maryswann7623 Год назад

I used to crochet a lot, life happens and I didn’t for years. Coming back, I was surprised at the changes, for example, the Magic Circle and the foundation stitch. I think I finally got them down but the way you did it really makes it easier!!

@cvmlbrown Год назад

I’ve been crocheting for over 30 years, yet I learned SO MUCH from these tips! Thank you so much for sharing these! ❤

@lifeofchasingdreams 3 года назад

My favorite is using a stitch marker... I hate taking the time to use them, and some fall out and so on.. but, I use them because they also hold the stitch open!!! I spend more time fighting getting my hook in that stitch than I would if i was just using a stitch marker!!

@dorisalexander1059 11 месяцев назад

I love all of those great hints yes, we needed those back in our day. I am almost 70 and you have such a calm voice to explain how to do it. I absolutely love it. Thank you so much. I’m gonna make sure I keep this site on hand.❤

@rosemarycreollo4326 Год назад

Excellent tips! I have been crocheting for decades and love that I continue to learn new techniques. My favorite join is the magic knot, but I'm not brave enough to trim the ends! Instead, I leave them a little longer, mark the joined spot with a stitch marker (helps me keep track of # of skeins used) and then weave in each tail. I've used the Russian join, but am too lazy. I don't use much wool yarn (my son is vegan), but I'm itching to try your felted join! I love the magic ring but have never seen your double wrap method! Your method is far superior! Thank you very much for sharing these tips with us! I subscribed before starting this wordy comment.

I always turn my work then chain 1 and do my first stitch. It makes the edge very straight. Thanks for the great tips. Have a wonderful day.

@mariakristinahawl1640 3 года назад

Great tips, all in one video. Fiddly things aren't so much as when your nails are shorter. Those with longer nails usually have a few extra hangups. The magic ring method you showed is one of the best on youtube...

Thank you for these hacks ! I sometimes have trouble keeping my edges straight when crocheting blankets even though I have been crocheting for over 15 years. Using stitch markers makes more sense. I will use this method from now on.

@SueSA2009 Год назад

You just gave me a tip without even saying anything, I bought 2 hoocks storage bags ( makeup brushes bag and pencil case) I couldn't figure out how to store my many hooks neatly until I saw your bag, by storing them next to each other hook up, hook down way. Thank you for the great tutorial as well. Using inline hooks is very helpful in tight stitches and especially getting into the back hump of the stitch.

@theastewart6721 Год назад

Hi MJ. Great video! My favorite join is what we call the “Spit Splice”, the felted one you showed at the end. I wish it would work on all fibers. The other one I would use is the Russian Join. The others are great too but I’m leery of knots. I also love using the back bump for the starting chain but would definitely do the foundation stitches as a first choice. I just had to chain 302 stitches so I used stitch markers to keep track. Thanks for all these great tips!💕
