Hi Friends! Have you seen this method before? I've fallen in love with it! Not only is it great for color changes, it would work great when you run out of yarn and want to attach another ball. Let me know what you think. xx
BRILLIANT! How I love it’s smooth transition and clean look with little effort. I’ll NEVER go back to the other way now. THANK YOU for sharing this worthy tip.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Some have commented that is more fiddly but I’m just not finding it to be. I’ve done the other way for years and this definitely feels better. 😆💕
That’s amazing! 😱 I was holding my breath as you pulled the loop from the old colour, I thought it was going to unravel. Thank you for educating us ❤🇬🇧
Lol ~ you guys make me laugh! Just glad I’m not the only one who had that feeling. I’m coming back to crochet after setting it down about 20 yrs ago. I thought it’d be like riding a bike… not so much! & at 61 the brain not as quick as it used to be. Anyway ~ THANKS for sharing this wonderful technique, and thanks to everyone else for their cute comments 🙂
Wow, this feels really good. I especially like that the weave-ins don’t start from exactly the same point. It wasn’t just the bump from the same point that bothered me. The overall stretch and flexibility was not the same as the whole rest of the fabric. Having the weave-ins start from two points eliminates that reduced stretch. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Mind blown! Ive been crocheting for almost 50 years, but just started doing amigurumi in the past 3 years. Im going to try this with those projects and see what difference it makes.😊
No, I haven't seen this before. But, I'm going to try it. It looks BETTER. I'm crocheting an afghan right now, so I have to join new skeins a lot. I notice the 2 ends being loose, make a messy stitch. Especially with soft yarn. So doing this way gives more structure to the stitch you're making during yarn change. I'm excited to try this. I've been "binging" your videos all morning!!! Great channel. TFS! I will report back after I try it. Austin TX USA
@@bridgetn2575 based on the way the yarn is pulled through the two bands , seems like it would be awfully difficult for the yarn to pull out once it’s weaved in. I think we are on to a winner here 💕👍🏻
I just finished an afghan - 28 different squares of picture color changes. I wish I had seen this method before. It would have made all of the counting easier. I like it. Thank you.
I have learnt a easier and tail free change of colour or same colour join. The only thing is that you have to work out how much yarn you would need to get to the colour change or same colour join. I found it on Tik Tok. If you would like to see if it works please let me know and I will send the link. I've found it to be amazing.
I think you’re right, it’s a more secure join. I often pull too tightly and lose that top stitch when I’m changing colors with the original way. And although it doesn’t really come across on camera, I find it’s less fiddly to do 👍🏻💕
The 'new' way is exactly the same as leaving the 2 loops on the hook and adding in the new thread. and finishing the stitch. I've been doing this for over 53 years.
Yes , that’s not where it’s different. This helps to maintain tension which is helpful especially for beginners. I’ve been using the other method happily for 30+ years but enjoy this alternative very much.
I Love this idea I've kind of struggled changing colors and then haven't always been happy with the results. Thank you for this tutorial. Can't wait to try it.
My new favorite method the instant I saw it! The old method you showed first was how I was taught and I was always extremely frustrated with how loose the stitches were and how I had to fiddle to make them look right. This method totally eliminates that problem.
I’ve been taking a few day break from crocheting because my hands and elbow been aching but I’m 24 years old and your videos are super inspiring , I was already inspired but even more now !!! There’s always new things to learn ! I been watching your videos and you are such help with a lot and have amazing creativity, thank you !
So happy to read this, thank you for telling me , KitKat! I’m glad you’re getting your crochet mojo back. Take good care of your joints. It happened to me too 🧶💕
Thanks for the great innovation. It's a tiny change, but a welcome one. I've been crocheting the same old way for decades. Now that we have RU-vid and Facebook groups, I'm learning dozens of new stitches and better ways, like this, to do things. Maybe the best part is that seeing new ways to do things has me thinking about new ways to do things on my own. That has to be a good thing, keeping my aging mind limber.
Worked great in the round with single crochet too! Im a new crocheter and switching colors was so clunky. I thought there had to be a better way and found this! Thanks for sharing!😊
What a great idea. I'll use this method in the blanket I'm making out of scrap yarn where there are lots of chances to practice.😊 Thanks for the great video!
Oh wow, that was a great technique! I’ll definitely try this. So many years I’ve been doing this & there’s always more to learn & new tricks. Thank u thank u!
@@PlayHookywithMe weather has never been that good before! Very shiny warm for the season. My plants 🪴 think we’re already in spring… not sure it’s that good tho. I wish you a joyful Sunday and… thank you for sharing your talent 😘❤️
Wow Wow cant believe how easy this is, i struggle so much as like a lot of people i have Arthritis in my hands, but this is much better, Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤a
I watched this video last month when you posted it. I've just started a sharp chevron blanket, changing colors every two rows. I couldn't remember exactly how you did this and my cat was on my lap and my phone nowhere near me. I did four color changes the old way. Today, before I continued on, I watched this again. The color change went so smoothly! Thank you so much!!🥰
Well, I understand. It’s mandatory to stay put when your cat is on your lap. It’s the law! 😺😆 I’m glad you were able to try it later and that you liked it. I love it so much … I haven’t gone back! 🧶💕
You cannot imagine the amount of swearing I have spoken during my changing of colors in the past. And some swear words I just made up because I was so frustrated during yarn color changes. You have changed my life. Thank you. No need to swear anymore. I'm good. 😃
This looks like a good way to change yarn. It looks like it's more snug than the other way. I'll definitely try this if I can remember to by the time I need to do it.
