I am less than ten minutes into this video, and you've already CHANGED my hex game. I'm trying... now making... a bee/sunflower motif blanket for my Mom, her favorite color is yellow. I've made lots of squares for it, but needed the transition hexes and couldn't quite get it. Thank you, thank you!! 😊❤
I absolutely love this. This will be one that I will do. Thank you so much, and I also really appreciate the extra tips that you are gracious enough to educate me to. You are a wonderful wealth of knowledge.
Always the best tutorials. I am such a visual learner, so, the combination of the chart with the tutorial, makes learning the patterns so much easier. I appreciate the work you put into these videos.
Mikey you are my go to guy when it comes to crochet. I really love how you teach and guide us along with each project. I'm making this for my friend who is having a baby in January and I'm sure she will love it! Thank you again!
Thank you so much for your work, I appreciate it a lot. When ever a new video of yours comes up, I feel I want to make it, because they are great. The way you explain with the chart then by doing has help me much, just thank you.
Love This! And Mikey Love your patience and explanations with the pattern and diagrams. Such a Huge help in making me successful in projects. Lots of Appreciation for What you do and Do So Well!
Beautiful design, lots of options on colour combinations. Fantastic hints and tips Mikey, this really has helped me especially as a beginner crocheter. x
This looks really pretty and would be the perfect gift for my mom for Christmas! Hmmm still lots of projects to finish but maybe after that I could get busy!
Hi! I love your tutorials. Had a lot of fun with this one. I have a question though. I got a snag in one of my hexagons after it was sewed together any tricks to get that out?
Tq Mikey for the tutorial , except that my hexagon looks a bit like a bowl. Do you think it is because my crochet is a bit tight. How do i make it loose. Tq🤩
Yes, it's too tight if it's curling up like a bowl. Check the gauge on the pattern as well and that will help you out as well for enjoying you are matching the sample. - Michael
I love that finishing trick to avoid the extra stitch and will use it loads! The traditional method always throws off the stitch count when joining pieces together; was driving me nuts.
Mikey dear, I just want to point out that you’re doing dc3tog, which is what it’s being called in the pattern. However, if you read the description of dc3tog at the beginning of the pattern, it’s actually a puff stitch. The dc3tog obviously also works, but it’s not the actual stitch used in the pattern. Looking closely at the pattern photo, they’re definitely puff stitches.
Maybe you could compromise and do a randomization of placement accept that you would have color balance. I used to be the same way I'm very much for symmetry. I'm a very linear thinker. But because there is a little bit of the defiant Rebel in me that sort of thing can sometimes get me called the sea or a control freak or a perfectionist (which I'm actually not that opposed to being called, but I would really rather be called perfectionistic, rather than to sound like someone with a stick up there). I decided that I did not want to be that controlling over a beautiful flow that could be some random at a time when I was feeling much too much stress in my life. My mother was putting together a quilt of hexagon called Grandmother's Garden, I think, and I was standing over the table looking at it and she had too much black up over here in this corner and too much yellow over there on the side and her concentration of pink sand reds were making me crazy so I just began rearranging them and I even said this is making me feel better. She said , "making you feel better?" I said, "Well... Yeah. .. it looks better when you spread them out, you know? Look..." and I begin to explain as I did more how much better it looks when there's sort of a flow and more random this of of colors even if red had black in it or the yellows had red next to them( the 3" hexagons make a 9" or so sized block that resembles a flower in case you didn't know). Anyway, after there was a balance, it looked great. She was just trying to match the colors in this one next to the colors in that one and didn't realize that she was bunching up concentration of colors in one area, and then moving on as she ran out of something that had very much black or yellow red or peach or whatever. You can even do that if you could make one color concentration bleed over into another color concentration by the way you piece together the flower blocks in the first place but these were random things made 60 to 80 years ago and over a 15 to 20 year period with whatever flour sack or used up dress was cut up and used for a quilt topper so we did not have that benefit.
