Hi, just found you today. I am 67 years old and taught myself to crochet. I listened to your soothing voice and enjoying making compact granny squares in my small bedroom. Made it as romantic as I could and really enjoying myself. Thanks so much xx
Thank you for all the tips I am 75 years young crocheted my whole life I now do it for charity.your so right we start with a ball or 2 of yarn and it turns Into a wonderful work of art.thanks again.❤❤
The habit of finishing your current project, before starting another one is the one habit that I work on most often, I love finishing each project by sewing in my personal ❤️💋🙂💯label
Thank you for, "we're all magicians and artists and it's amazing". 🥰 I teach kids to crochet and I like to tell them that crochet is their superpower and it's possible to make literally anything with crochet. It really is amazing. 😊 Nice video!
I’m encouraging my son to learn how to do stuff with his hands. He sees me making stuffies, blankets, pillows, etc and thinks it’s it’s amazing. Framing it as my superpower might make it even more interesting. ❤❤
Finishing each WIP before starting another is very hard! Especially when I know I have to do so many different projects for gifts and I get bored. I like jumping back and forth. The issue with that is forgetting which stitch was used if it’s been too long. I LOVE learning new stuff! I’m always trying something new. I’ve learned tatting, knitting, granny squares, new stitches, amigurumi, mesh bags, and a halter top in the past year. It’s been so amazing! I adore learning!
I myself tend to do one project at a time. And to tell the truth, I hate to weave in the ends. But I feel so good after I've finished my project and when the person/people that I gifted them to like them a lot. I Love seeing people using what I've made for them. I remember when I made my first dress for my Granddaughter....She was about 4 or 5 at the time. I was so proud of my finished product and it fitted her correctly. She Loves it. In fact I've made her 2 dresses. I'm hooked on making little girls dresses and baby blankets the most.
Have been crocheting for 55yrs, and can attest to your commentary. For me, wooden hooks are not good because they can split and yarn can get caught, metal ones or ergonomic w metal hooks are the best - some resin ones with smooth barrel (no seams where yarn can fray) can be good. Guilty pleasure is supporting local artists and small yarn shops, buying patterns from independent creators.
What a pleasant well-rounded presentation. Great tips. And, yes "weaving in ends" is most definitely the bane of every crocheter's existence! Subscribed.
I’m crocheting with those glasses right now! I hadn’t seen anyone else doing it or thinking about it and thought it was just me! Get them! I bought one pair and have ordered three more since there’s multiple uses to save posture. My partner wants them for doing dishes to help his posture at the same time
I will say the biggest thing for me on this list was absolutely finishing projects once you start them. I have several larger projects that I could have finished a year ago if only I hadn't started multiple other projects since....nothing feels better than when you finish a project that took forever and it makes me want to just keep crocheting. Definitely recommend either keeping the projects smaller so you can finish them before you run out of motivation, or just working on something until you are done.
Give yourself challenges or limitations to stretch your creativity! Lately I’ve made it my goal to use up the yarn I have in my stash since it’s getting bigger than I wanted and I just can’t justify buying more yarn, and having that goal has forced me to be more resourceful and think more creatively. And I get to bust my stash too! Win-win!
i bought an ergonomic hook after 10 years of crocheting. i'm such an idiot for not doing it earlier. i immediately became faster. also yarn winder isn't a neccessity. i gave away mine after realising i enjoy hand winding yarn.
i do a lot of these but i found that i can't focus on 1 project at a time. especially if i'm doing a very time consuming project. sometimes i get so bored during the same stitch over and over in one long project and i just need to switch to something different or smaller so i can change things up and keep my self interested. i've bought way too much yarn to risk falling out of this hobby just because a project starts frustrating me, lol
@@emeraldgaze that’s alright, do whatever brings you happiness, honestly I didn’t start doing long projects until I had been crocheting for a while, so that’s normal, always different per person😊🥰
@@psyxica it’s when you heat up the fibers of yarn after a piece of made either through warm water, steaming, a dryer, in order to make the piece less stiff

@@nardeenkeryakes2847 this is so creative, and useful for my overwhelming yarn stash, I’m going to do this too!
I found this really affirming, thank you. Please make the video about romanticising crochet!

Awesome video beautiful soul. Thank you!
This was very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make this video.🙂
You are so welcome! Thank you for your sweet comment🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the tips. Also, I just watched The Boogeyman the other night and that closet door just ajar behind you, girl I was nervous! 😅
@@MissChismosa Thank you!!!😂😂😂 that is so funny, I’m happy he wasn’t there!

@@auntbssewingquiltingandcra3442 I’m so happy you liked it😊😊😊
Holding the hook too tightly, with too much tension is what makes your hands hurt. Relax...
Well Thanks for the tips

What's going on with the random video clips though? Whenever I looked at the screen there were puppies, dolfins or paint brushes? 😂
