This is such a wonderful video, thank you and Elise for this incredible collab and for trying out some of tips from the book! You ladies are just the best!!! 🩷🩷🩷
You’re right. They are the best. So professional 💫 this collaboration between the three of you is a hit. As we say here in Oz. “Gold star and a koala stamp” ⭐️🐨
Every Saturday morning I wake up, settle with my crochet and fur baby on the couch, and check your channel and Elise’s channel. I spend Saturday mornings with the two of you. This is the crossover of my dreams!!! Thank you - I can’t wait to watch!!!
The first part of hack 4 gives the exact same result as to pull through with the new colour. The second part of the hack is what makes a difference. Many great hacks ❤❤❤
The first part can help with tension in the color change. But only if you make a few stiches in the new color befor you remove the extra loop. But other than that yes, the yarn takes te exact same path, so no difference there.
I walked into YI in my state and they told me to call you for help and gave me your info. I had no idea you were so iconic on UA-cam and that we were practically neighbors. I never called but I’m just want you to know how proud I am proud to see how far you’ve come and how well you’ve done&
Goodness. I feel like I just watched the first time someone put peanut butter and chocolate together….world changing and FABULOUS! Love both you girls!
That zig zag join is something completely new for me and I LOVE it. Great video, Toni! I watched Elise's video as well. Two of my favorite creators in a collab. What a dream!
Unfortunately, i just broke my arm so I'm not crocheting right now. But i did use your link to get the book. At least i can be learning while I'm healing! I enjoyed the video.
The color change trick is the same as normally done but with extra steps, although your addition is a good tip taking that extra loop that is created when picking up the thread
Hey Toni! It was interesting to see your and Elise's two different personalities in this collaboration. Elise was very enthusiastic as always, but I really appreciate the way that you focussed on honouring and highlighting the writer of the book throughout your video.
Great these hacks are all in one book. Some have been around for years like the alternative stitch instead of chains. ("A stitch less ordinary" used it and there's an easier version of it too.). If you use the pencil grip hold the twisted loop with your middle finger instead of the index finger while finishing the stitch.
Hi Toni, yes as others have said, a much awaited colab. I recently learned the color change from Play Hooky with me but I didn’t know the part about bringing in that joined color to make it look even more seemless. Love the granny join as well. This book will most definitely be going on my watch list. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hi from the UK, I bought your book and waiting for it to arrive. My Nana taught me to crochet granny squares when I was about 8, I am 63 now and have taught my self to read patterns but haven't really made anything beyond blankets, hats, scarves and a couple of ponchos. Now I feel ready to try other garments now
Hi Toni, I want to say I love your videos, and I have learned a lot of things. I saw your video about organization. I use small storage bins because I had projects all over the house. Also, I am trying to go thrall my uncomplicated projects as well. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep teaching.
Hello Toni, I am glad I followed lovely Elise's advice to come check your channel out. She is right u explain and demonstrate beautifully. Now I will have to go check out more of your channel to c what I have been missing out on !😊 Love and prayers from Australia🇦🇺🐨 💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏🧶🧶🧶
wow this was super helpful! I've been working a chain between my rounds but I can't wait to try the standing double crochet stitch. Also that colour change 😻 Thank you for sharing 🌼
I love seeing two of my favorite crocheters come together-Yay! Thank you Toni for the AMAZING tips and a fabulous reminder that there is always more to learn! You're the best!
That zigzag join is absolutely gorgeous. I used it to join intarsia panels for a blanket I did recently and it it just made the whole thing pop in a good way 😊
I will be getting this book!!! The join is amazing and I have a project I will definitely use this hack on. You are as many have said - an amazing teacher and you got me to tackle tunisian again thru your book!
These are going to be so good for my next project. I'm working on your Daphne blanket to be gifted to a friend's new baby and just love how it's coming together. Also, I had to go get myself one of those rose gold hooks because they're just gorgeous and I need more metal hooks for all the cotton yarn I'll be using in my next project. Thank you!
A hack for hack #4! For my color changes, I don’t complete the stitch, lift the loop, and insert the hook back into the stitch. Instead, for that last single crochet for the color change, I insert the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, **yarn over with the new color and complete the stitch**. Basically still a single crochet, but introduce the new yarn at that last step prior to completing the stitch. It’s essentially the same thing, but without the fuss of lifting the loop and trying to find the correct stitches to insert the hook back in. Love the hacks! Especially that invisible seam in the round, I feel like that hack could be used in multiple types of stitches ☺️
The point of that one is that it doesn't change the tension of that specific stitch like it does a lot of the time when you pull through with the new color. I noticed a big difference in the consistency of my color changes when I started doing that
Great Video, Toni! Great book! I love being able to find such useful tips and information all in one place. This book won’t be collecting dust on my shelves. 🐝🧶💕🙂
I'm a new crocheter and came here from Elise's channel. These were cool tips, and your explanations were really easy to understand! I'm bookmarking this video for future reference :D
7:50 regarding the color change, isn't it doing the exact same thing? Completely honest question! I've watched it over and over, tried it myself, but don't see a difference. Thanks Tony!!
I agree, it's pretty much the same as the standard way but with an extra step (pulling the original color through). I think some people find this easier though because it helps keep the tension on the two loops (the loops tend to loosen when the end of the original color is just hanging free).
I hate sewing granny squares. Will definitely be trying that. Add a new colour and using it as a boarder could definitely add something more to the blanket. Thanks for the tip and I will definitely have to get the book.
I found hack 3 interesting. I typically use linked dc's if I have to step up - though I also typically hang out in the amigu world anymore, so I spiral without stepping up 95% of the time. But now I want to experiment. haha
I watched this the other day and when she got to hack three, I thought to myself, "There's no seamless join". I thought I'd tried them all. I hadn't this one though. Since hen I've used it on some scrubbies and granny squares and it's the closest, to seamless, I've sever seen the join. We'll always use it now. 100%. Thanks :)
Just watched Elise's video and then ran over here. I'm definitely going to pick up that book! I love that zig zag join! I recently made a bunch of squares for an afghan (the Retro Stripes Sunburst afghan from NautiKrall) and that join would look so cool! Thank you Toni!
The zig zag join is similar to what is used with the circular knitting machines like the Addi, when you knit a tube and need to close the ends to make a scarf.
not related to the video and i just found your link that's SO filled with gorgeous patterns! and some for FREE? like damn thank you so much! pd: i did a rippled stitch mini blanket for my kitty in her fur colors! again thank youuuu
Forgot to tell you which was my favorite hack...hmmm....do I hafta choose one??🤪 The needle knot! It's gonna save me the hassle of trying to hide my little knots without messing up the pattern of my projects.😁😁
SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR. I hope my book arrives SOON! It’s on order. My goodness, these tips are GAME CHANGERS. Great to see my faves together! Xxx ☺️🫶🏻🧶🍦🍦
Love the hacks you shared. You mentioned that you typically use the magic ring join. I couldn't find that on your channel. Could you demonstrate it or point me to a video where you used it. Thanks
Ohhh this will make some serious crochet bosses!!! I also noticed your blush Furls😁 I am Furls fiend and we won't talk about how many sets I have...but do use them🤣🤣

Awesome tips, Toni!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 So excited that we got to do this collab together!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Every Saturday morning I wake up, settle with my crochet and fur baby on the couch, and check your channel and Elise’s channel. I spend Saturday mornings with the two of you. This is the crossover of my dreams!!! Thank you - I can’t wait to watch!!!
awwww love the ritual!! i'm sure elise would agree that we're so grateful to spend our saturdays with you as well. thanks for the support! xo
The first part of hack 4 gives the exact same result as to pull through with the new colour. The second part of the hack is what makes a difference. Many great hacks ❤❤❤
I was also thinking this, you go back through the same two loops right? The second part does make it look nice and clean!
The first part can help with tension in the color change. But only if you make a few stiches in the new color befor you remove the extra loop. But other than that yes, the yarn takes te exact same path, so no difference there.

THE collab of the century omg !!
Yes
Goodness. I feel like I just watched the first time someone put peanut butter and chocolate together….world changing and FABULOUS! Love both you girls!
hack videos are just so satisfying, right? thanks for watching! xo
A video with elise the collab we never knew we needed
That zig zag join is something completely new for me and I LOVE it. Great video, Toni! I watched Elise's video as well. Two of my favorite creators in a collab. What a dream!
Unfortunately, i just broke my arm so I'm not crocheting right now. But i did use your link to get the book. At least i can be learning while I'm healing! I enjoyed the video.
oh noooo! fingers crossed for a quick healing process and plenty of your favorite shows to watch in the meantime. xo
I use the "standing double" for **everything** - not just rounds and hats. I use it for blankets for neater edges, shawls, scarves, etc.
Invisible needle join is also called the Russian Join. It’s one of my all time faves for joining same color yarns. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh Toni, these type of videos is one of many reasons why I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. You are a joy, I love your energy ❤.
squeeee - thank you!!! so glad you're still enjoying the channel after all this time. xo
The color change trick is the same as normally done but with extra steps, although your addition is a good tip taking that extra loop that is created when picking up the thread
It just keeps the tension consistent with the stitches doing it that way
Hey Toni! It was interesting to see your and Elise's two different personalities in this collaboration. Elise was very enthusiastic as always, but I really appreciate the way that you focussed on honouring and highlighting the writer of the book throughout your video.
our styles are different, but complimentary - she's such a sweetheart and a blast to work with. thanks for supporting both videos! xo
Great these hacks are all in one book. Some have been around for years like the alternative stitch instead of chains. ("A stitch less ordinary" used it and there's an easier version of it too.). If you use the pencil grip hold the twisted loop with your middle finger instead of the index finger while finishing the stitch.
These are fantastic tips Toni! Thank you for picking these tips to share. 🤗🩶🧶
Two of my favorites: Toni and Elise.
I IMMEDIATELY purchased this book! It Is 100% worth it!!!! Toni can't scratch the surface because it's obviously copyrighted but....if you can BUY IT!
I don't crochet a lot but the hacks you demonstrated were great and they make me want this book 😊. And one for the friend who taught me to crochet!
The last 2 hacks are perfection! Going to watch Elise's video now then find the book.

Wow, great ideas. Thank you to the author and to you for sharing. 👏👏
Okay, I used the zigzag join on your Tobago Bag and I love it! Might use that to join a lot of projects now
Great Video, Toni! Great book! I love being able to find such useful tips and information all in one place. This book won’t be collecting dust on my shelves. 🐝🧶💕🙂

That color change hack is amazing!!! I love it .. thank you🥰
Loved the tips. Bought the book. I’ve never in my life have bought a book within five minutes of knowing of its existence 😂❤🎉
totally worth the impulse buy :-)
That joining the yarn hack just genius it is a little bit fiddly the thinner the yarn but not a problem at all
thanks for the insight - i was wondering how it would go with thinner yarn.
Been crocheting since 2004 and these are awesome!!
I'm a new crocheter and came here from Elise's channel. These were cool tips, and your explanations were really easy to understand! I'm bookmarking this video for future reference :D
that color change one is a gamechanger. brb off to make all the color work wall hangings
I saw Elise Rose's video and now yours, and I'm convinced that I need to get this book. So awesome! Thank you for the preview.
