Ashlee and Popcorn's Peel and Stick Desk Upgrade
Переглядів 2975 місяців тому
I recorded this over a year ago and it's been taking up space on my phone. There's no crocheting, but this new pretty desk has been visible in a few of the videos I've made this last year! I promise to get more crochet videos posted soon!
Tip for Interlocking Crochet after a Long Unlocked Section
Переглядів 5795 місяців тому
My number one for interlocking crochet is to count, count, count. But there are also a few ways we can skip counting EVERYTHING by making sure things are fully lined up and only counting ONE layer. In this video I was already sure I had completed the proper number of front stitches but I needed to make sure I placed the next stitch (a back stitch) through the proper window. #crochettips #croche...

Using a Yarn Swift and Winder. From hanks to cakes 🎂
Переглядів 4006 місяців тому
Do NOT try using yarn directly from a hank. A 'hank' of yarn is a big loop (like what's on my arms in the cover image) that has been twisted for packaging. It is VERY different than a 'skein' of yarn that can be used by pulling the yarn from the inside or by using the end on the outside. You need to wind that hank of yarn into a ball or a 'cake' before you attempt to crochet or knit from it. Us...

      Yes! Interlocking Crochet is a technique that doesn't involve cutting the yarn until you're finished the square. Check out my other tutorials and videos ;)

    • @AshleeBrotzellDesigns
      @AshleeBrotzellDesigns 14 днів тому

      It sounds like either an error in the chart or that the chart you're trying to read isn't meant for mosaic crochet. The square with an x has to have the same-colored square below it and below that one. 3 on top of each other.

      Oh no! Sometimes they can be really tight but I've heard that some designs aren't the same and that screw isn't meant to come out. Did you try turning it the wrong way? That seems to be the tricky spot because each machine is different

    • @1sheilajanae
      @1sheilajanae Місяць тому

      @AshleeBrotzellDesigns I think the screw is stripped, but I ended up taking the ring off the small gear that doesn't move and that gave me space to put the big gear back in place. Thank you!!

      @AshleeBrotzellDesigns nice I found that when the back of work faces right handed people it's the opposite for me so I have to take the instructions and flip everything. So chain 3 and instead of 1B I have to go to the opposite side right before the ending stitch and start there. When it says something like 4b I have to flip so I'll do 4F but that's an example.
