Every design comes with the full written pattern and chart for both techniques (with a handful of single-technique exceptions). These videos will teach you how to use the patterns, how to read the charts, and how to do the stitches. You'll also find a few full-length pattern walk-thrus!

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...

You're a great teacher!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the encouragement 😁
thank you so much
😁☺️
Thank you so much!!
You're most welcome!
Can i have a link to the patterns! Theyre gorgeous
Thanks so much! Check out the series of dog squares at ashleeslint.com/year-of/2024-year-of-dogs/
Thank you. This is exactly the problem I had this morning. This is a lifesaver.
So glad you can get back to the more fun parts of playing with yarn now!
THANK YOU so much! I was losing my mind with my winder! You saved the day!
🎉 I hope you'll get to enjoy your yarn now!
Great video. But my question is: How did you get your fingernails so pretty?
🤣 they are fakes. Plastic glue on things that I filed and shaped and stuck on for the purpose of recording videos. I used to be a nail esthetician
Where can I get the pattern?
I used my "Tumbling Curls CAL" in this video. There are three crochet techniques to choose from; see ashleeslint.com/2023/10/03/tumblingcurlscal/
Thanks!! Just needed visuals. Happy New Year!!
Glad I could help!
Is this made without cutting the yarn up? 😊
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 ;)
What do you do when there is a colored space above and below the x (in the same color x will be). Basically asking how I would make that one stitch colored while the rest of the row is not. You
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.
I was about to return my THIRD winder. Thank goodness for this video!! 😊
Oh my goodness!!! I'm so glad you'll be able to stop buying so many winders (hopefully lol cross my fingers!)
I wish I would’ve found this before I threw mine away 😭 thank you so much for this!!! my new one will work forever now lol
Oh no! Darn! I hope your new one lasts forever ❤️
Was given one of these & haven't used it yet. Your video was very informative. Thank you
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Omg! I just bought one and I was so dissapointed! I’m going to try this to see if this is the issue! Thank you❤
It's amazing how often they get bumped around in transit and therefore don't function when newly bought! They should include instructions to check the gears lol I hope that's going to fix it for you 🤞
Thank you for your thorough explanation of the join so some reason this one is the more clear instructions that I have seen.
Thank you for your comment! I try my best to make sure things are clear and helpful!
omfg thank u my winder has been messed up since I got it. I was about to throw it away thank god you exist
I am happy I was able to help you ☺️
My yarn winder is different so I don't know what is wrong with mine 😭😔
Oh no! Maybe there's another video out there somewhere. I'm not sure.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was in a jam and your video was the first to pop up and you totally fixed my yarn winder.
Woohoo! Happy to hear I could help from afar!
Hey, thank you so much for this tutorial! Though, I’m having an issue with unscrewing the bottom screw. It seems to be stuck to the white gear, and even though it turns with the screwdriver, I can’t get it off. Do you have any advice?
❤️ I am sorry you're having trouble! Unfortunately I am not at all an expert. I made this video on a whim when I was fixing my machine but I don't actually have much skill in this area.
@@bellarose7969 hey! Did you ever figure out how to fix it? I’m having the same issue
That looks amazing 😍 do u have a tutorial as well?
I have tutorials on how to crochet both the techniques (interlocking and crochet overlay mosaic crochet) as well as tutorials on how to read the patterns and charts. I don't have a full walk-thru of the March Knot design but I do have walk-thrus of other designs and along with the tutorial videos you will have the skills you need! <3 Which technique do you want to try first?
would it work to just glue that bottom gear in place? i hav an issue where it will just start spinning along with the gear
I am not sure 😕 there are so many designs out there. I am pretty sure in mine it needs to spin.
I can't get the big gear out. The screw on the bottom doesn't budge 😢
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
@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!!
I'm glad you figured it out!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
😁🤩❤️ You're most welcome!
Gorgeous and the kitties
Hahaha kitty approval is essential. Think they've claimed it lol
Always need their approval! Lol
This didn’t work for me 😭
Oh no! I'm sorry 😞
I have had this winder for a day and had to fix it I guess that’s what I get for being cheap thank you for the tutorial
It's a bit disappointing that so many ppl have needed to fix it. On the other hand, it's great that we CAN! ❤️
@ I feel like the manufacturers should share how to fix on the locations they sell it for those who don’t think to look on UA-cam
@KeiraMarsh2308 they would probably have to create something more official than my impromptu video then 😅🤣
@ if only there was a way to reply to reviews then we could just share the info to UA-cam it
Your video helped me. Thanks you. I'm making cakes again and not donuts.😊
So glad to hear that! 🎉
Thank you Ashlee, this is so helpful and so clearly demonstrated - I'm a brand new crocheter aged 63 in England :-) I love overlay Mosaic but, as you so rightly say, the fringe is a nightmare! I just hate cutting the yarn, it feels so wasteful!! Your technique for translating patterns from Mosaic to Tunisian will really help me to make use of all the wonderful overlay Mosaic patterns I bought because they were so pretty...
Wonderful! I need to keep practicing my tension with this technique but it's a fabulous option!
I almost threw mine away😭 thank you so much and such an easy fix!! Thank you!!
So glad I could help save your money and reduce waste!
Thank you so much!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video. You saved me a bunch of money since I was seriously considering buying a new yarn winder. Followed your instructions and now my yarn winder is working perfectly.
Perfect! I love to hear that! 😍😍
Thanks!
Aww thanks so much! 🤩❤️
@AshleeBrotzellDesigns you saved my day with this video, THANK YOU so much! ❤️
🤩 I'm so glad I could help!
Unfortunately, mine is cheap, aliexpress/temu one even after opening up and putting it back, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm in the middle of huge yarn barf cleaning and I'm doomed😩
Oh no! 😭 that's frustrating.
Your work looks awesome, I have just discovered your channel. I hope you keep wa this upcoming winter I know how cold it gets in Canada My family live in Ontario I live in S. Africa.
We have a few tricks to stay warm here in Canada! My childhood best friend's family was from S. Africa ❤️ it will always be special to me because of them
You have helped so many people! There I was knitting Christmas stockings. My first try failed after days of working on the project, I had to start all over with a new skin all together, but of course my ballwinder decided to pull this prank. I was so worried that it broke! Maybe I can finish these stockings by Christmas after all!
😍🤩 Christmas hero this year!
The very first time I tried to use my yarn winder, it made the sad, sad donut. With your help, I fixed my winder and got it working. Thank you.
The sad donut is such a disappointment! I'm so glad you were able to get it functional!
thank you!!!!
🥰 You're most welcome
Thank you a thousand times ! It is so well explained ! ❤❤❤
I am so glad you found this tutorial helpful! ❤️ thanks for the encouragement!
Thank You So Much!!! This problem was driving me crazy! Bought it brand new, and after a couple of days already had this problem! Thank you so much for doing this video! 😃
Glad it helped!
I really appreciate the way you explain and show how to find loops, etc. I am subscribing. Thank you so much!
Awesome, thank you!
How can I find these patterns? Are there videos for these patterns?
There's a link in the description for the September Cat pattern or you can find the whole series of cat squares at ashleeslint.com/2021/12/31/2022-a-year-of-cats-new-ebook-of-oversized-crochet-squares/ I don't have videos for each design but I do have tutorials on the techniques that can be applied to any of my patterns! :D
I chose to buy a Stanwood and retire my Knit picks one. Night and day.
oooh!! I think someday I'll probably just bite the bullet and get a Stanwood.
Well now I know what that weird thing I thought was a clothes hanger is. I'm pretty sure it's a plastic swift. I've asked for a yarn winder for Christmas so that's nice to know I already have a swift. This video was very helpful, thank you!
🤣🤣 better check it out first, maybe it really is a clothes hanger! I've never seen a plastic swift but I can imagine it would work pretty much the same way. ❤️
Thank you!!! I knew I couldn’t be the only one and you saved my bacon. A+. ❤
😊 Glad I could help!
It's called Phillip tip screw drive and left-handed threads. It looks like you have extra screw drive tips in the handle.
Thank you ❤️ I do know... but I forget everytime 😅
Thank you!!! I needed this.
I'm so glad it helped!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! I've been sitting here for an hour, cussing trying to figure out what's wrong!!😂😂
Awww 😅 well I'm glad you finally got it figured out!
@AshleeBrotzellDesigns Yes!! Thank you very much!! I almost chucked it, and was gonna buy a new one!🤣🤣
Funny thing is I'm left-handed...
I'm hoping to create some left-handed tutorials! So far all I've got is this one: ua-cam.com/video/XktjAIgoQPk/v-deo.html
@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.
@vixenpheonix5507 yes, I have a collection of patterns written for left handed crocheters: www.ravelry.com/bundles/left-handed-instructions-included
