German here too! I just squealed when i got to that part of the video for the same reason. I hesitated to buy the original because i wanted to learn the terms in german first. Do you have advice what needles i should get, since we have different needles in stock in shops in germany? I dont want to rely on amazon but on local shops, and you seem to have experience :)
All I want for Christmas is your Tunisian book and to finally launch my crochet business and nicheing down to baby layette as a start. I loveeee it here and thank you for blessing us with your tutelage and crochet love.❤
Das ist wunderbar, Toni! Dein Buch jetzt auf Deutsch, das ist sehr toll. I'm learning German now and I'm tempted to get the German edition to help me practice. Congratulations! (Your emotional reaction talking about that event was too sweet.)
I highly agree with the "invest in your tools" comment. After crocheting for about 5 years with cheap hooks, I invested in a set that I researched to death (Tulip Etimo Rose). It has made a HUGE difference. My hands never hurt from crocheting now and the hooks don't get sticky.
Congratulations on your wonderful book being translated into German! Like your family, my eldest sister and her family spent a tour in Germany during the 70s. Her youngest son was born in Heidelberg.
I didn't know you knew about TOFT and Edwards Menagerie! I went there for my work experience and helped make projects for their new veggie book that's coming out!
I've already ordered sooo many crochet supplies so I don't think I should order anymore, lol. I just want some quiet time TO crochet with my pets for Christmas but I do like the TLYC merch...
REPETITIVE MOTION INJURY PREVENTION (that works for me, at least): I had carpal tunnel syndrome many years ago, so I'm always watching out for a reoccurrence when I'm doing anything repeatedly with my hands. I use long Tunisian crochet hooks (NOT the kind with a cord, just a 10" crochet hook) and hold the needle at least half way down when crocheting. [You can find sets of aluminum ones on Amazon from $8 to $20.] I find that I can make tiny motions using a hook in this manner and those motions are exaggerated at the tip of the needle. Think of how a seesaw works, and you will probably get the idea. And for me, anyway, smaller hand movements equal zero symptoms. I'm sure there's a learning curve with this technique if you are used to using regular (short) crochet needles. But it really makes a huge difference. I can (and do!) crochet for hours without any repetitive motion injury symptoms. I highly recommend it to anyone who has trouble with this kind of thing.
I love all of your merch! It is beautiful! Thank you for all your helpful tutorials! Your videos keep me inspired to keep crocheting!! Thank you and love you girl!!💜💜
Only 40% of people who watch your videos are subscribed??? Girl. I saw ONE of your videos and smashed that subscribe buttons. People out here need to be doing the same!! 🥰
Toni, the last thing that I needed was another book. But I so love your sunshine and positive energy, that when you talked about it I just had to go online and buy it. So Thanks for the great book and for just being yourself. Tracy from Idaho
Yessss! Metal Tunisian crochet hooks! I really don't like the feel of plastic hooks. The feel of the friction of the yarn on the plastic is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It keeps me from doing larger projects.
Please review some medal Tunisian crochet hooks if you find any reasonably priced sets! I have a strong aversion to wood, and I don't love the idea of using plastic ones since I'm such a snob lol
Just wondering you said you wanted metal crochet hooks from Australia what brand are they were in Australia do you get them are they interchangeable ..what about the weight if them we they be heavy to work with
Hi Toni Awesome video I’m already subbed 👍🏽 congrats in advance on your new milestone. It is great to hear what others have on their wish lists for gift giving anytime if the year.
I bought the book when it came out, it was my first craft book ever bought, even though I have 15 years of different fiber-work experience. It is hands-down a beautiful book, and so so so well explained. The patterns are gorgeous, and you deserve all the success!
Congratulations on your book being in German now! That is so awesome and exciting. You are so inspiring and wonderful to watch and I greatly appreciate all you do! Your book is on my Christmas wish list and my if I don't get for Christmas list, lol so I am getting one way or another!
Okay so mom here and I checked my stash and I have what I asked for. Alpaca sweater for myself will be my first New Year project. God's will. 😁😁😁 I hope all of your wishes come true. 😍
Congrats on those subs and the German Edition of the book! I bought your book for my 17th birthday (using a gift card from previous Christmas and Amazon Gift Cards courtesy of Swagbucks) and I just finished my first Tunisian crochet design coming out soon. You are the best teacher I could ever ask for since your 25 tips video turned my crafting around, and merry Christmas!
Congratulations on your Book! Soon it will be translated into many different languages! Love your videos I finally picked up my crochet hooks again and have been creating like mad!
I found your book with spiral binding, I love that! It makes it so much easier than trying to juggle your crocheting and book all at once. Keep your wonderfully upbeat and positive self creating! You are an inspiration to the crafting world!
as someone who already had chronic pain when I started crochet, compression gloves are a godsend. Fingerless ones work best for me so I can still get the right tension, but they help a lot with hand and wrist pain!
I’ve been a subsciber for years and an owner of your Tunisian crochet book but I’ll check out your merch and I promise to always “like” and comment to boost your channel. Love your vibe. You’re one of my favorite UA-camrs. ❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥 Merry Christmas, Happy Holidaze! 🥳🎄🍾🥂
Because of your video I bought the Knit Picks yarn cake winder (in purple, of course). This is 💜AWESOME ❤️!! I have 2 skeins that I’ve caked because it was actually fun!! I just wish there was one for thicker yarn, my family really doesn’t like the feel of acrylic, so… But the stash of skeins that I do have will be in cakes soon!!💜 (a Buckeye too)20:12
Thank you so much for your videos!! How exciting that it was translated into German. I would love for it to be translated into Spanish!! I would buy it and gift it to my aunt and friend. I was trying to teach them both how to do Tunisian crochet when I was visiting in May but there are no good Tunisian crochet books in Spanish. Let me know if there is anyway that I can help with this endeavor. I think it would open up your book to a very large market. ❤
Hello Miss Toni. I have been crocheting for years but am in a rut. I am so excited I found your channel. I am ready to learn new crochet patterns and skills from you! Thank you for your positive, uplifting vibe. This will be a fun New year 2023 learning from you!
Toni you are fabulous and I always look forward to watching your videos! Metal tunisian hooks are on my wishlist. Maybe someone will grant our Christmas wishes!
I'm totally in love with my Athena Hooks from Bella Coco. Highly recommend if someone is looking for major comfort and less cramping when crocheting. Thanks for the recommendations Toni! Love watching you so much.
Your comment about investing in your tools is so true! It reminds me of what Adam Savage says on his UA-cam channel. "Buy the best tool you can afford." This has really been great advice for me, as my tools have had a better use life than had I bought the cheapest ones around. This practice has also taught me what features I am willing to bend on (what my hook is made of, not that important to me) and what features must be present (how that hook is shaped matters to me). And if Janine and Gregory don't get together...sheesh! Wishing all y'all a festive end of the year!
I have your book & I love it! I'm so happy you're now getting translated. My tunisian is slowly reaching the standard of my traditional crochet and I'm finally ready to use it to make something out of some beautiful yarn a dear friend hand spun for me. I may even join F/book to post the result.
I love that granny square sweatshirt you are wearing, but I don’t see it in your store. Do you still sell it? I sure am enjoying your videos. I’m from Michigan too, but I live in Arizona now. I used to live just North of Detroit, in Berkley.
Beautiful tree ! I am subscribed to your awesome channel . But sometimes I have noticed that I have been unsubscribed to a channel I was subscribe to !
Love your book! I am making each and everything in it. Thanks Toni for being the best teacher ever! That being said, Come on people SUBSCRIBE!!!🌺💜❤💖🐑💐 !
I bought a sweaters worth of Alpaca from Wool Warehouse and spent £18.00. The dollar was stronger in July or August (2022), so I didn’t pay much more than that. It’s by DROPS 183 yards per skein in the color Rust Mix.
Okay Toni gurl😊 I am so glad you talked about Tunisian hooks cuz my first project for the new year is a cardigan by who yes you sissy. Love you be blessed beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🧶🧶🧶🧶🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰
That is a beautiful winder and I will just continue to enjoy it from a distance since I do not need another. lol Jan and Greg, just get together - it's time. 😉(Oh wow, that statement gave me a flashback to the Brady Bunch where I would NOT recommend that union. 🤭) Thanks, Toni. ❤ P.S. That giveaway is fantastic!!!
Seriously with the metal Tunisian crochet hooks! Come on Chiaogoo, we know you can do it. Also...what's up Furls? Or Clover??? It's killing me. Toni, perhaps there are some TL Yarn Craft metal interchangeable hooks in the future? Sounds like a viral product to me. ;)
I’m with you for the metal Tunisian crochet hooks Toni! With swivel cables and stop buttons please. And less than $50 each (yikes!). I like my Clover wooden hooks for most things, the Denise hooks are good if there’s no acrylic in the yarn, or if the wool isn’t super washed, but a great metal set would win my crochet heart. I’ll sign the petition any day. Merry Christmas and looking forward to 500K subscribers by the New Year!
Totally agree about trying to find metal Tunisian crochet hooks. I sooooooo wish Chiao Goo would make a set. I love their knitting needles. In the meantime, I use my knock off Denise hooks that I got on Amazon.
Congratulations on your book being printed in German…that’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing all of these ideas for Christmas wish lists. You always have great recommendations. 💜🙏🏻
I have metal tunisian, i got them from a lady that ran a thrift store. A whole ton of crochet and quilting items got donated and they were selling these king size bedding bags full of items for $10-12.00 per bag. I got a set of crochet lites , a crochet hook holder. Thread yarn. lots of items were still new in unopened pkgs marked 29cents!. I got a double ended Tunisian metal hook, along with several different sizes. ALL metal! I love them. Also, Knittting needles, and more! For 10 bucks! Try some thrift stores, and local resell shops. You would be surprised how much you find that ppl get rid of, sell, or donate!
I love your videos! You are so good at explaining how to and your voice is so calming! I made your sampler blanket for my grandson and I love it! I haven’t given it to him yet (Christmas present). You are so bubbly and passionate about your work, it is very inspiring! Hope you get to 500,000 on UTUBE because you are very worth it! How do one go about sending you some coffee 💵?
Guuuurl I've needed something to record with AND a larger cake winder than my knitpicks one. Was having a hard time finding what felt like good options in any category, 2023 purchase goooooals!
Omgosh yes! I would love a set of metal Tunisian crochet hooks at a good price. So… how about a Toni Lipsey set of metal tunisian crochet hooks? 😃 After all who would know better what makes a good Tunisian hook? I would buy them! Anyone else? (Trying my hardest to influence my favorite influencer/creator to create something for me 🤭)
New sub- congrats on the book! Sadly- KnitCrate closed suddenly today! I lost all of my credits ($50+!) and had two orders pending in Stashalong I have to get the money back on!
All I want for Christmas is a one on one fan girl moment with Toni! Lol so, I am sure you have heard by now, the sad news that Knitcrate closed their doors last night. Like, no website, closed, gone, see ya later peeps. Which is very sad for me because I was going to restart my subscription in January. Oh well. You had suggestions for the other company, so I am going to go and look that one up. I so agree with you about the metal Tunisian crochet hooks. I thought it was just me not being able to find them. Okay, so not just me. Hope you get to go on that vacation soon Toni. You certainly deserve it. Hawaii is beautiful this time of year, not as busy either. Oh, and if you are into sea creatures, the whales will be migrating past the island this month. Make sure you bundle up next week, it's gonna be cold 🥶. Merry Christmas! 🕊️ 💕 🕯️
what I would really love is an app/device that is a stitch counter than can be customized for graphghans. Seriously! why doesn't this exist?!? Like it just says 5 red, you hit next and it says 10 black etc.
Made the Mesa Hat and Scarf 🧣 just sent them to my youngest daughter & her daughter! I'm in Florida they are in New Hampshire. Baby it's cold up there 🥰 Thank u for the pattern. Happy holidays!
You said it, Tony! now it NEEDS to happen: Gregory and Jeanine better move in together and make babies by season 3! I feel like I have not been this passionate about two fictional characters getting together since Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask!!
Al I want for Christmas is your book and that cut mug with the cats because I’m starting my first Tunisian project because of your videos. I’m so excited bc I’m gifting it to my mother-in-love. And also the heart end to the Tunisian cord😊💜
What about the Addi hooks? I know they are metal all but the biggest size. I'm with u on the metal hooks. I'm saving for the Addi hooks myself. I'd love to have the Australian hooks, but if I spend that kind of money on a single hook, it will cost my marriage plus the $50, ok lol. I love u. I did purchase ur book, and the clover hooks this year. Now I'm after the Addi hooks and the Wool Genie.
Ahh Toni! Good luck on your journey to 500k! It's so amazing to see someone in the yarny world reach this amazing milestone on UA-cam. You are paving the way! Okay gotta go get that sweatshirt! 😍😍😍
OMG I love your videos!! I know that some yarns are being discontinued as we are out with the old and in with the new, but could you possibly review Lion Brand Ice Cream and Lion Brand Morrocan Nights? I would love your opinion on them!
Congratulations on the success of your book. I recommended it to my library and they got it both in print (2 copies, even) and e-book, yay! Question - have you ever tried the SeeknitKA tunisian hooks from Japan? Or the Lantern Moon ones. I saw both on Etsy and thought they look nice, but really wanted an opinion I trust about them. I want to buy a set of really nice hooks as a special treat.
I've been looking for a set of tunisian hooks that are (1) metal, (2) interchangeable, (3) have cords with low to no memory and (4) have swivel connectors. Is that really asking too much??! 🤔 edited to add I had put my comment in before I watched all the video so I had a good laugh when I got to the latter part of your video. You know why lol. Great minds!
I myself love the knit pro brand, not sure if you can get these in the US, I have the KnitPro Zing Singled Ended Crochet Hook Set, I bought the Easy Grip Crochet Hook Set also, I hated the pony set, but what I did was take the rubber handles off those and put on my knit pro set. Wow now I have the perfect crochet hook set. Even the 2mm hook I can hold in my hand as 2mm is a nightmare to hold for long periods of time.
Toni! It is all your fault! I think I am about to subscribe to YarnYAY. I am really, really liking the idea of something splurgey coming in the mail every month. So I think I'm going to get a 3 month subscription with money I got from my dad for Christmas, and then when I get my annual inheritance distribution from my mom, I'll blow the whole thing to get a year. Sounds like a great plan, right?
I suggest looking up the Addi Click set of crochet hooks. ua-cam.com/video/RFA2-SGK9BY/v-deo.html I've not used them myself but I swear by the Addi swings with the extended necks for quality
Congratulations on your book being translated into German! That is so exciting. I have crochet hooks on my wish list because I did something really dumb and lost most of mine because I had them all with me when I lost them. I left them somewhere and I don't know where. Yes, all my stitch markers and favorite scissors were lost too. It's ok I've replaced some of them. I have learned my lesson do not take everything with me everywhere.
I've been watching you for a long time I've been wanting to get your book and some of your yarn but unfortunately I can't afford it but that's what I would love for Christmas Merry Christmas Tony and a Happy New Year
I’m so sorry to hear about Bqueen hooks 😢. I do recommend people look into Leither for something sort of similar. I’m glad you warmed up to the wool Jeanie, I love mine! I also would love metal Tunisian hooks maybe some with the TLYarncrafts brand connected to them 😉
Spinning is fun, but I don't blame you for your reluctance. It is a STEEP slope (says a crocheter with two spinning wheels and entirely too many spindles) that is extremely addictive. For that person, though, if they want a beginner spinning wheel, I'd recommend going to their nearest fiber festival or spinning guild and trying some out! Every wheel is different and if you've never played on one, I'd recommend trying a couple styles before investing in one, especially if you're buying new. That said, if you have no access to wheels to try, I'd go single treadle castle-style wheel or one of those little electric eels if you're learning to spin so you have fewer actions to coordinate. The Woolery has a great selection to pick from and Dreaming Robots is the home of the little electric eel e-spinners.
Just as an FYI, KnitCrate shut down with just minutes of notice a few days ago! Thanks for the lovely video! As a knitter, I’m still in love with all of your videos!
I had a thought-Crystal at Bag o Day has bought and showcased hooks from a place called Nelson Woods. They are gorgeous in-line hooks….out of my budget range but maybe the person wanting the B Queen hooks might like his?…
Just yesterday i had the exact same thought as you. Metal Tunisian crochet hooks with interchangeable cables.. Why isn't this a thing? Knitters pride/KnitPro has a few metal Tunisian hooks but not interchangeable cables.
Hi i bought your book and love it! I have a suggestion there should be one winner from USA and one from International. We in the USA support you soo much and I feel we should be given a proper fan chance yo win here at home! Thanks So much for your amazing work!
Merry Christmas, I would like your book in Swedish but also your merch as a Christmas present. Have wanted to try Tunisian patterns for a long time but didn't really know where to start when it comes to Tunisian hooks or patterns as a beginner in Tunisian crochet. Love from Sweden!
Good morning Toni just wanted to say I got my to go tumbler crochet is for lovers, omg so pretty love it and it kept my cinnamon tea very hot for hours burnt my tongue once not realizing it was still that hot. Great to go cup. Thank you. ❤️🧶🎄☃️❄️
Girl!! I’m sure I’m not even close to the only one to say this, but you should creat your own interchangeable aluminum Tunisian hooks!! Like Chiaogoo but with Susan bates hook!

YESSSSS!!!!!
Saaaaame!
Same
You should be very proud of yourself Miss Toni……you are a great example of a person who works hard to fulfill her dreams!
Fan from Germany here 🤗 Yayy, now I put your book in German right on top of my wish list! I already have the original 🤭
German here too! I just squealed when i got to that part of the video for the same reason. I hesitated to buy the original because i wanted to learn the terms in german first.

Girl. I don’t know how I didn’t know you had merch!!! Also, totally felt the “I’m not gonna cry.” Part.
I would love a TLYC merch mug! Oh, and some more yarn!
i bought the clover tunisian hooks ones today $61.00 on amazon today !!!! $150 on michaels

Assalam u Alikum
I know this wish won't happen, but I wish a day with Toni.
I think we all want that to happen
Ahh yes, i agree. Wouldn't it be awesome to spend a day with Ms. Toni. Maybe just a few friends. Hot tea, coffee, cocoa, or a glass of prosecco

I may even join F/book to post the result.
I swear by knit blockers. Knit blockers are LIFE! Not gonna put every single pin on individually, I refuse :P
I love that granny square sweatshirt you are wearing, but I don’t see it in your store. Do you still sell it? I sure am enjoying your videos. I’m from Michigan too, but I live in Arizona now. I used to live just North of Detroit, in Berkley.
Definitely found a few ideas from this video to add to my list! Thank you!
Also Yes!!!! Janine and Gregory!!!!!!! Obsessed with Abbott elementary!
I just ordered your book as my early Christmas gift to myself! Thank you for helping me fall in love with crochet again 💗
Yay! So happy for you about your book 🤩. Another amazing episode. I hope to have one month of just doing Tunisian crochet!
Toni!!! If you create some metal Tunisian crochet hooks I’d be on that preorder list 100%!!!! Make it happen and expand that brand!!! Much ❤!!!
Beautiful tree ! I am subscribed to your awesome channel . But sometimes I have noticed that I have been unsubscribed to a channel I was subscribe to !
Love your book! I am making each and everything in it. Thanks Toni for being the best teacher ever! That being said, Come on people SUBSCRIBE!!!🌺💜❤💖🐑💐 !

That is a beautiful winder and I will just continue to enjoy it from a distance since I do not need another. lol
Jan and Greg, just get together - it's time. 😉(Oh wow, that statement gave me a flashback to the Brady Bunch where I would NOT recommend that union. 🤭)
Thanks, Toni. ❤
P.S. That giveaway is fantastic!!!
I found your channel and I love it!!! I love yarn I love crochet. And I love you enthusiasm! You are amazing!❤️❤️thank you.
Seconding the lack of metal Tunisian crochet hooks. All my normal hooks and knitting needles are metal; I really don't enjoy using wood!
I have the same light! It's absolutely brilliant for content creating 🙌🏻
Seriously with the metal Tunisian crochet hooks! Come on Chiaogoo, we know you can do it. Also...what's up Furls? Or Clover??? It's killing me. Toni, perhaps there are some TL Yarn Craft metal interchangeable hooks in the future? Sounds like a viral product to me. ;)
I’m with you for the metal Tunisian crochet hooks Toni! With swivel cables and stop buttons please. And less than $50 each (yikes!). I like my Clover wooden hooks for most things, the Denise hooks are good if there’s no acrylic in the yarn, or if the wool isn’t super washed, but a great metal set would win my crochet heart. I’ll sign the petition any day. Merry Christmas and looking forward to 500K subscribers by the New Year!
Totally agree about trying to find metal Tunisian crochet hooks. I sooooooo wish Chiao Goo would make a set. I love their knitting needles. In the meantime, I use my knock off Denise hooks that I got on Amazon.
I love your This Must Be the Place mug!! This is a great list. I have a hard time coming up with ideas for myself. Thank you for this video!
Congratulations on your book being printed in German…that’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing all of these ideas for Christmas wish lists. You always have great recommendations. 💜🙏🏻
I have metal tunisian, i got them from a lady that ran a thrift store. A whole ton of crochet and quilting items got donated and they were selling these king size bedding bags full of items for $10-12.00 per bag. I got a set of crochet lites , a crochet hook holder. Thread yarn. lots of items were still new in unopened pkgs marked 29cents!. I got a double ended Tunisian metal hook, along with several different sizes. ALL metal! I love them. Also, Knittting needles, and more! For 10 bucks!
Try some thrift stores, and local resell shops. You would be surprised how much you find that ppl get rid of, sell, or donate!
I love your videos! You are so good at explaining how to and your voice is so calming!
I made your sampler blanket for my grandson and I love it! I haven’t given it to him yet (Christmas present). You are so bubbly and passionate about your work, it is very inspiring! Hope you get to 500,000 on UTUBE because you are very worth it! How do one go about sending you some coffee 💵?
Guuuurl I've needed something to record with AND a larger cake winder than my knitpicks one. Was having a hard time finding what felt like good options in any category, 2023 purchase goooooals!
Omgosh yes! I would love a set of metal Tunisian crochet hooks at a good price. So… how about a Toni Lipsey set of metal tunisian crochet hooks? 😃 After all who would know better what makes a good Tunisian hook?
I would buy them! Anyone else?
(Trying my hardest to influence my favorite influencer/creator to create something for me 🤭)
New sub- congrats on the book! Sadly- KnitCrate closed suddenly today! I lost all of my credits ($50+!) and had two orders pending in Stashalong I have to get the money back on!
All I want for Christmas is a one on one fan girl moment with Toni! Lol so, I am sure you have heard by now, the sad news that Knitcrate closed their doors last night. Like, no website, closed, gone, see ya later peeps. Which is very sad for me because I was going to restart my subscription in January. Oh well. You had suggestions for the other company, so I am going to go and look that one up. I so agree with you about the metal Tunisian crochet hooks. I thought it was just me not being able to find them. Okay, so not just me. Hope you get to go on that vacation soon Toni. You certainly deserve it. Hawaii is beautiful this time of year, not as busy either. Oh, and if you are into sea creatures, the whales will be migrating past the island this month. Make sure you bundle up next week, it's gonna be cold 🥶. Merry Christmas! 🕊️ 💕 🕯️
what I would really love is an app/device that is a stitch counter than can be customized for graphghans. Seriously! why doesn't this exist?!? Like it just says 5 red, you hit next and it says 10 black etc.
Made the Mesa Hat and Scarf 🧣 just sent them to my youngest daughter & her daughter! I'm in Florida they are in New Hampshire. Baby it's cold up there 🥰
Thank u for the pattern.
Happy holidays!
You said it, Tony! now it NEEDS to happen: Gregory and Jeanine better move in together and make babies by season 3!
I feel like I have not been this passionate about two fictional characters getting together since Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask!!
Al I want for Christmas is your book and that cut mug with the cats because I’m starting my first Tunisian project because of your videos. I’m so excited bc I’m gifting it to my mother-in-love. And also the heart end to the Tunisian cord😊💜
What about the Addi hooks? I know they are metal all but the biggest size. I'm with u on the metal hooks. I'm saving for the Addi hooks myself. I'd love to have the Australian hooks, but if I spend that kind of money on a single hook, it will cost my marriage plus the $50, ok lol. I love u. I did purchase ur book, and the clover hooks this year. Now I'm after the Addi hooks and the Wool Genie.
Ahh Toni! Good luck on your journey to 500k! It's so amazing to see someone in the yarny world reach this amazing milestone on UA-cam. You are paving the way! Okay gotta go get that sweatshirt! 😍😍😍
OMG I love your videos!! I know that some yarns are being discontinued as we are out with the old and in with the new, but could you possibly review Lion Brand Ice Cream and Lion Brand Morrocan Nights? I would love your opinion on them!
Congratulations on the success of your book. I recommended it to my library and they got it both in print (2 copies, even) and e-book, yay! Question - have you ever tried the SeeknitKA tunisian hooks from Japan? Or the Lantern Moon ones. I saw both on Etsy and thought they look nice, but really wanted an opinion I trust about them. I want to buy a set of really nice hooks as a special treat.
I've been looking for a set of tunisian hooks that are (1) metal, (2) interchangeable, (3) have cords with low to no memory and (4) have swivel connectors. Is that really asking too much??! 🤔 edited to add I had put my comment in before I watched all the video so I had a good laugh when I got to the latter part of your video. You know why lol. Great minds!
New subscriber here ;) I'm not a crocheter.... but I knit a lot. Love your energy and fournd your chanel yesterday - so of subscribing was a given!
I myself love the knit pro brand, not sure if you can get these in the US, I have the KnitPro Zing Singled Ended Crochet Hook Set, I bought the Easy Grip Crochet Hook Set also, I hated the pony set, but what I did was take the rubber handles off those and put on my knit pro set. Wow now I have the perfect crochet hook set. Even the 2mm hook I can hold in my hand as 2mm is a nightmare to hold for long periods of time.
Toni! It is all your fault! I think I am about to subscribe to YarnYAY. I am really, really liking the idea of something splurgey coming in the mail every month. So I think I'm going to get a 3 month subscription with money I got from my dad for Christmas, and then when I get my annual inheritance distribution from my mom, I'll blow the whole thing to get a year. Sounds like a great plan, right?
I suggest looking up the Addi Click set of crochet hooks. ua-cam.com/video/RFA2-SGK9BY/v-deo.html I've not used them myself but I swear by the Addi swings with the extended necks for quality
Congratulations on your book being translated into German! That is so exciting. I have crochet hooks on my wish list because I did something really dumb and lost most of mine because I had them all with me when I lost them. I left them somewhere and I don't know where. Yes, all my stitch markers and favorite scissors were lost too. It's ok I've replaced some of them. I have learned my lesson do not take everything with me everywhere.
I've been watching you for a long time I've been wanting to get your book and some of your yarn but unfortunately I can't afford it but that's what I would love for Christmas Merry Christmas Tony and a Happy New Year
I’m so sorry to hear about Bqueen hooks 😢. I do recommend people look into Leither for something sort of similar. I’m glad you warmed up to the wool Jeanie, I love mine! I also would love metal Tunisian hooks maybe some with the TLYarncrafts brand connected to them 😉
Spinning is fun, but I don't blame you for your reluctance. It is a STEEP slope (says a crocheter with two spinning wheels and entirely too many spindles) that is extremely addictive.
For that person, though, if they want a beginner spinning wheel, I'd recommend going to their nearest fiber festival or spinning guild and trying some out! Every wheel is different and if you've never played on one, I'd recommend trying a couple styles before investing in one, especially if you're buying new. That said, if you have no access to wheels to try, I'd go single treadle castle-style wheel or one of those little electric eels if you're learning to spin so you have fewer actions to coordinate. The Woolery has a great selection to pick from and Dreaming Robots is the home of the little electric eel e-spinners.
Just as an FYI, KnitCrate shut down with just minutes of notice a few days ago!
Thanks for the lovely video! As a knitter, I’m still in love with all of your videos!
I had a thought-Crystal at Bag o Day has bought and showcased hooks from a place called Nelson Woods. They are gorgeous in-line hooks….out of my budget range but maybe the person wanting the B Queen hooks might like his?…
Just yesterday i had the exact same thought as you. Metal Tunisian crochet hooks with interchangeable cables..
Why isn't this a thing? Knitters pride/KnitPro has a few metal Tunisian hooks but not interchangeable cables.
Hi i bought your book and love it! I have a suggestion there should be one winner from USA and one from International. We in the USA support you soo much and I feel we should be given a proper fan chance yo win here at home! Thanks So much for your amazing work!
Merry Christmas, I would like your book in Swedish but also your merch as a Christmas present. Have wanted to try Tunisian patterns for a long time but didn't really know where to start when it comes to Tunisian hooks or patterns as a beginner in Tunisian crochet.
Love from Sweden!
Good morning Toni just wanted to say I got my to go tumbler crochet is for lovers, omg so pretty love it and it kept my cinnamon tea very hot for hours burnt my tongue once not realizing it was still that hot. Great to go cup. Thank you. ❤️🧶🎄☃️❄️
I would love for my luck to change and win your beautiful merch..merchandise... thank you for being awesome at what you do..
Girl!! I’m sure I’m not even close to the only one to say this, but you should creat your own interchangeable aluminum Tunisian hooks!! Like Chiaogoo but with Susan bates hook!
I ordered your book in English although beeing German🤣
The original book cover looks way better than the German Version.
❤
Aloha Toni!! It is time for you to come and visit me here at the rainbow state🌈 🌺 To you and your family, Mele Kalimika 🎅 ( Merry Christmas ) 🥰💞
