I like to use wooden needles and hooks, but there's almost always a splinter...when i get new needles or hooks, i put a couple coats of clear nail polish to protect my hands and my workfrom splinters
I have a good "trick" for when say your to chain 50 & the do dbls across your foundation chain but you get to the end & realize you only have 48 & ur short 2. Well instead of taking it apart.. Always start out with a tail that's at least 3-4in, that 1st row after the foundation row, you always end at that tail. So if you are short 2-3 on ur foundation chain, just that tail to add x amount of chains to add to ir foundation, then continue your row of dbls, you won't even notice a difference..
@@FireballtheUA-camr lololoo yes, it happens to me too!! I hâte counting but I push myselfto do it coz and use the stitch counters coz I love crochet so much!
4:18 Oh gosh, I love those needles! They're mostly aimed at grabbing and pulling in really short tails on projects, where a normal needle may not do the job. So great for amigurumi!
hi I'm a boy name Isaiah I crochet and the stitch holder help me with a beanie I made.so thank for the videos and I have a question could you make some videos project for kids that know how to crochet. that would be helpful, since I'm going up north.ps your videos are great. also I forgot I'm am 11 years old turning 12 years old.
Good job Isaiah! Keep at it. It's great fun to crochet and I bet a lot of kids your age don't know how to crochet! I learned when I was 7 and I'm 52 now!
Cool! ❤️ I never knew I already do all of these! But they are great! I also store my finished piece in large zip lock bags, with a cut up (outdoors scent) dryer sheet! When ever someone receives the piece, they always comment on how wonderful it smells! I also purchase extra knitting need protective caps, I put them on my key ring set of crochet hooks. Yes, my key ring has 3 crochet hooks, Incase I need one in an emergency! I tag every piece when finished with the measurements and care instructions, as well as it’s yarn type.
Very true, I'm 48 and been crocheting sense I was 10yrs old. This day I still learn different stitches and tricks to crocheting. I will keep learning more as long as I'm crocheting. Cathy
Loved the crochet tips on not twisting the chain. the tips for covering the scissors and the pencil grips for the crochet hooks. Your videos are easy to follow and I have learned a lot. Thank you
Putting projects into bags and labeling them is such a fantastic idea! I do it for small things like flowers and bows but never thought to do it with my bigger projects 🤦♀️ good thing I have you 💙 Also I'll save my ends that are too small for small projects in a bag to use for stuffing in future projects. 🙂
With the paperclip hack, MY CLASS. I'm the only one who can crochet, and when I bring it in, it SOMEHOW gets into the hands of the other children, and my work is diminished to a slipknot. Thank you for the tip!
Great tips, especially the one for protecting the points of our scissors. I even have some of these and didn't even think about it, just for my knitting needles. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Donna! One more thing, you have a lovely pair of fingerless gloves pictured; but I can't find the pattern. Would you happen to have it on your page? Thank You🌹
I wonder if people accidentally hit the thumbs down button and don't realize that they're actually doing it. 🤷🏼♀️ Because there is absolutely no reason that anyone could dislike this video. 💕
My favorite tip is how to insure your yarn from twisting! Pretty much everything else I already do. But the yarn twist tip is sheer Genius! Thank You Donna🌹🤗
Great suggestions Donna! I love the idea of the paper clip when leaving a project! My other favorite is the clear plastic bag with the labels to remind you of the project:) Also nice to see that you use a dab of glue on your yarn ends!
Gosh #9 is so smart and simple! Thank you for sharing it. While crocheting a hat once I'd already gone a few rounds before realizing I'd twisted the chain! No more of that for me. Once again, thanks for the tips, all of them. You are a blessing to crochet
Number #9 is great! My tip is that I always add a few extra on the beginning chain (in case I miscounted). Then when I reach the end of the first row I know I'll have enough and can easily undo any extras I didn't need.
excellent tips. I always struggle with not doing too many chains, keeping it straight for starting round projects and I'm always worried about my cats hurting themselves on my scissors. thanks. always love your vids.
I loved all of your tips. I've been crocheting for sometime now, but I'm always willing to learn something new! This Christmas I am giving one of my granddaughters a crochet starter kit that I have put together. I'm going to write down some of your tips and tricks in the little book I am going to make for her. I also subscribed to your channel!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! 😊😊🎄🎆🎄🎆😊😊
I love this video I recently bought a crochet kit with all kind of instruments in it. I didn’t know what the barrel was that counted and I now know it’s a stitch counter thank you so much for explaining all the tools in a crochet kit.
I've been crocheting for about 12 years and the tip to keep your chain from twisting when working in the round was fantastic! Wished I would have know this YEARS ago! That's a fantastic tip!
Thank you very much. My name is Maryam from Egypt. I love your channel, but I did not understand it. Most of you both were very pleased that you translated this Arabic.
I believe you are the only person that did a crochet tips and tricks on UA-cam. Congratulations you have my total respect and honor to follow you. God bless you to have made such a smart and helpful video. Keep up the great work. Loving you from Chicago Illinois 😍❤️😊😉🌹😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CHANNEL!!!! I have watched your videos before, but just subscribed today. I have learned so much about fun and easy tricks for crocheting because of your video! I just started a few years ago and have learned by watching your videos and others. I love the polymer clay cover idea! I am going to try it out on some of my needles, as my fingers do get sore after awhile. I am sure it will help. I also love crocheting granny squares and doilies, so the trick on non twisted rounds will really help! Thank you so much - your videos are very easy to follow and you are a great teacher!!
Thank you Donna for all you do and present to us out here. Thank you for your helpful tips and many projects you took your time to teach me. You popped up in front of me when I started and I never let you go, so to say. Thank you for your unselfish teaching. Happy crocheting to you, and me :)
The tip to keep yarn from unravelling is brilliant. Shame it's a little too late for my poor project, but now I know. 😊👍 (I can't even blame my little Bean for this one LOL it's all on me. *sheepish*)
I used the "Pill Bottle" tip for storing my yarn needles...and it was fantastic! It saved me from accidental injuries as well as keeping them in one place. Oh, and I also love the SUSAN BATES Finishing Needles; they are very easy to use and saves me the hassle of trying to thread my yarn through the needle's eye! 💗
A few of my pill bottles (and a friend gave me two of hers) are tall enough to hold crochet hooks and the lid has a push-down release. And then I started to crochet the crochet hook holder and love it, too.
It's for everyone.. Anyone who enjoys it. Men are welcome as well. It's very useful for hand coordination & circulation as well as anxiety & stress management..
I would like to know where I can get the flexible large eye needle. This would be very handy for me, as I have trouble seeing the eye in standard needles, due to medication. Thank you for helping.
Love these ideas. #9 is probably my favorite. But I have a question about #6 the rain repellent. How well would it work on kids mittens. I'd love to make some but don't because mittens get so wet very fast when their out outside playing in the snow. I love your polymer clay handles. They're really pretty. I haven't gotten into clay yet, I like to make jewelry as well as crochet. So I used my daughters rainbow loom elastics to make my own comfy handles. One of my biggest problems is keeping my tension. If I set a project down for a day or more and come back my tension is way off. Any suggestions or just keep practicing?
Hi! I've never tried it on kids mittens mostly because I get a little bit nervous with chemicals on my kids stuff. But they do have a ScotchGard brand spray that many of the store-bought mittens already have on them, so that would probably be a better choice. That's normal for your tension to change after resting for a day or two. My tension, if I'm not careful about it, definitely changes depending upon my stress level. It's mostly just a practicing thing and an adjusting-as-you-go thing.
As far as changing tension. Have some scrap yarn of the same size/type as your working project yarn. Use the same hook and begin by crocheting a few minutes with the scrap yarn to loosen up and relax your hands & fingers. This also helps calm you before continuing with your project. Works for me.
If u really want to crochet start with a granni square as I did till I got it and also I'm left handed u just need to keep trying u will do it Michelle UK
thank you for sharing your faves with us - these are all great tips, even for those of us with more "yardage" than others! 🤗 i use the REALLY XXL 'zip' bags to store my leftover balled up yarn bits, by yarn type: acrylic in one, cotton in another, etc. this one storage method has made it so much easier to put 'scrap' projects together!! hope this helps someone! 🌼
Your boy is so cute, LoL. I have niece and nephews who also mess with my projects but I don't have the heart to be mad at them. This tip might help, thanks!
I've been crocheting for about 55 years. Forty years ago paper clips weren't readily available in my small town so I started using bobby pins for place markers. Haven't found anything better in all that time.
You don't need to use anything to keep your work from being unraveled by small *helpers.* Just pull the loop out a bit and tie the loop (both strands/sides of the loop held together) to the working yarn. Just a single knot, which can be easily undone when you're ready to continue working.
I've always just pulled the loop out a bit then tied a loose knot in the loop. It's easy to untie and tighten the loop back up when ready to work again.
I really appreciate the tip for putting the first chain on the hook to keep from twisting your chain. Notice how many found that simple trick so helpful? My tip contribution: What if you get to the end and find you are short a couple of stitches? Make a foundation stitch one size up from the row you are making, so if you are making single st's, go up to half double. For half double go up to double etc.You need to allow for the chain st row too. If you were not using the back hump of the chain, undo the last stitch and re-do using the back hump. Then YO and go into the two threads left over on the chain and start your foundation stitch.
I began using paper clips when I needed to secure my work and there was one on the table next to me. I love the idea of putting needle protectors on scissors, keeps them from going through my project bad. And the pencil grips- what a great idea!
I baked the polymer clay on a few of my crochet hooks. It was easy to do, and they are my favorite. I did it a few years ago, and they have held up well. I plan to do a few more. Love your channel!
I love the the tippers for the needles and scissors now I won’t have to worry about them poking holes in my bag. And the idea about adjusting the the loops on the chain is genius thank you
This is one of the best crochet videos I have ever watched on UA-cam. I come back to it again and again as I work on my projects. I really appreciate your talent and the you are willing to share them with us :-) 🧡
I sewed a crochet hook organizer years ago from recycled denim (my old ripped jeans!), And since it just rolls up I added a length of ribbon sewn in the middle to tie my embroidery scissors in with. Turns out they stay in just fine, so instead I thread my yarn needles onto the ribbon, then tie the ribbon ends into a bow. That way they're accessible and always with my crochet stuff!!
Busqué la aguja plástica del agujero grande en su sitio.... Nada... ¿Podría enviarme el link donde puedo comprarla?... Muchas gracias.... Todos los tipos son fabulosos.... 😀😀😀😀
يعطيكي العافية على كل ما تقدميه من فائدة وبالأخص الترجمة تحياتي لك وللطفلين اللذين معك مع انني اتحدث الأنكليزية الا انك ارحتيني كثيرا بهذه الترجمة شكرا جزيلا
Great video and tips, they were all helpful. I have some polymer clay for my crochet hooks. One thing I do is buy necklace crab claw clasps in the jewelry section. They are smooth metal and don’t snag my project or come off.

Where do you get those needles? Also do you have any idea where to get labels to put in your projects?
The tip about removing extra loops just changed the whole game for me. Thanks!
I like to use wooden needles and hooks, but there's almost always a splinter...when i get new needles or hooks, i put a couple coats of clear nail polish to protect my hands and my workfrom splinters
That's brilliant!
Fantastic idea, thank you for sharing
You definitely have your “lucky” hook, admit it to your self 😻🤔🤫
I added alphabet beads to the saftey pin style stitch markers. The letter size of the hook being used for an item is easily available.
Elizabeth Thompson , that's an awesome idea!!! My needles often get separated from my project, and this will solve the guessing game. 👍😃
Sadly my hooks only have numbers no letters
I have a good "trick" for when say your to chain 50 & the do dbls across your foundation chain but you get to the end & realize you only have 48 & ur short 2. Well instead of taking it apart.. Always start out with a tail that's at least 3-4in, that 1st row after the foundation row, you always end at that tail. So if you are short 2-3 on ur foundation chain, just that tail to add x amount of chains to add to ir foundation, then continue your row of dbls, you won't even notice a difference..
Ok this always happens to me. Crocheting while holding conversations. Lol. Thank you!
I do this constantly. I loose focus on counting.
@@FireballtheUA-camr lololoo yes, it happens to me too!! I hâte counting but I push myselfto do it coz and use the stitch counters coz I love crochet so much!
My fav was tip # 9. Many times I tried to work a chain only to find once I joined it was twisted. Tanks ^.^
Yeah, that was a good tip. I haven't seen any one do that before.

Mine, too!
elec2881 yeah no. 9 is my favourite too
4:18 Oh gosh, I love those needles! They're mostly aimed at grabbing and pulling in really short tails on projects, where a normal needle may not do the job. So great for amigurumi!

you keep at it isaiah,my grandsughter is 12 in oct and i taught her to crochet
You reminded me of my brother. He loved to crotché when he was sick in bed (flu). I'm talking about maaaaaany years ago. He's 50 now
I crochet and I am 10. I taught myself how to crochet!
Good job Isaiah! Keep at it. It's great fun to crochet and I bet a lot of kids your age don't know how to crochet! I learned when I was 7 and I'm 52 now!
"I'm a boy" 😂 what dose that matter !!?? 😫😂
i don't really have a lot of paperclips around but with a daughter i DO have bobby pins which work just as well.
Safety pins work too
Cool! ❤️ I never knew I already do all of these! But they are great! I also store my finished piece in large zip lock bags, with a cut up (outdoors scent) dryer sheet!

I absolutely love the one where you link five then add the start back onto the hook so it doesn't twist. brilliant! I get really frustrated by that.
Thank you so much!

Hello Jackie
Oh I'm just starting after learning basics 27 yrs ago. Oh I'm sure u have some splinfliforous ideas and knowledge ! ! ! !
I use fabric glue for my projects but Love the idea of a water repellant spray. Your idea of using a pill bottle to store needles is genius!
Great tips! Thank you so much! I can't wait to make the polymer clay crochet hooks!
Just decide if you need to see the size (already on the handle) on not.
Your little boy is so cute. I miss my little boy. (He just turned 30 and is married.)😊
That paper clip, yep, that's saving me from the meow meows taking off with my projects while undoing it lol.
Loved the crochet tips on not twisting the chain. the tips for covering the scissors and the pencil grips for the crochet hooks.

Dollar tree sells the 2-gallon plastic zipper bags 5/$1. I use these all the time for my WIPs.
Thanks ,Donna for your ideas.May I know where to buy those scissors and finger rings.
I normally find them online on Amzn. It can vary though, depending upon what's available these days.
you can also use those ear plugs...for air travel, to cover the scissor point. They're also a foam material. ☺
Absolutely! Thank you for this tip :)
How clever!
Excellent! I do have some of those sitting around🤔.
I use ear plugs also.

It's for everyone.. Anyone who enjoys it. Men are welcome as well. It's very useful for hand coordination & circulation as well as anxiety & stress management..
There are many men who crochet!
My grandfather crocheted- men are definitely welcome
Thank you sooooooo much great ideas about the glue, waster repellent, and adding on the metal hooks! Love this. Keep them coming!

Hello! Thelarge eye needles are made by Susan Bates. I found them in my Joann Fabrics and Michaels craft stores.
Are they available in the UK? I haven't seen them here. Thanks.
morevaseret try deramores. That's an online store based out of the uk
I believe I saw them at Hobby Lobby.
Hi I just saw them on Amazon around £5
I use bobby pins as well for stitch markers. I have black ones and white ones to make it easier to see in my projects. thanks for all the tips!

I use bobby pins for place markers
Staci McLaughlin what a great idea!
Awesome tip!
I've been crocheting for about 55 years. Forty years ago paper clips weren't readily available in my small town so I started using bobby pins for place markers. Haven't found anything better in all that time.
All your tips were great especially using caps for protecting the tips of scissors ✂.
You don't need to use anything to keep your work from being unraveled by small *helpers.* Just pull the loop out a bit and tie the loop (both strands/sides of the loop held together) to the working yarn. Just a single knot, which can be easily undone when you're ready to continue working.
I've always just pulled the loop out a bit then tied a loose knot in the loop. It's easy to untie and tighten the loop back up when ready to work again.
Thank you for these tips and tricks!! So helpful! :-)
I really appreciate the tip for putting the first chain on the hook to keep from twisting your chain. Notice how many found that simple trick so helpful?

Turns out they stay in just fine, so instead I thread my yarn needles onto the ribbon, then tie the ribbon ends into a bow. That way they're accessible and always with my crochet stuff!!
The pencil handles are a great idea! Specially bc I use metal crochet hooks and the tend to hurt my hand... a lot lol
Thanks so much ! my fav has to be the pencil grips on the plain crochet hooks and the polymer handles they're gorgeous.x
Thank you so much!

New subscriber...Thank you! Great tips!
I especially liked the tips related to having littles in the house! Thanks.
Great video and tips, they were all helpful. I have some polymer clay for my crochet hooks. One thing I do is buy necklace crab claw clasps in the jewelry section. They are smooth metal and don’t snag my project or come off.
I have been crocheting for over 45 years and your video helped me greatly thank you
Glad the video could help!
Very very useful tips & tricks. Thank u Mrs.Donna.
Thank you so much Donna! This is so helpful.. i used ziplocs too for storing my yarns!😊😊
I love the tip for connecting long chain without twisting the yarn. I come back to this tip every time I do this. Just to make sure I do it right.
I love #5! I use paperclips for my stitch markers and stitch holders all the time.
