- Hey y'all. Thanks for hanging with me today! Today's episode is a bit different. I have several things to unbox so I figured I'd do a little haul of some yarn, some crochet hooks, and some other goodies that I've ordered. Then you can watch me struggle to figure out how to use a yarn swift, and we'll round things out with my first attempt at crochet tapestry!
Please like this video if you enjoyed it and leave a comment below to tell me what you're up to this week!

Thank you for doing what you are doing and going to school to continue your education and go further in your field. It is in no way an easy path and really Nick I admire you for your dedication and commitment all while working your regular job (and finding time here and there to crochet) I can not even imagine the hard path you are on. The exhaustion, long commute, studying,, exams etc. In a field where more people like you and Andrew are so desperately needed and not many willing to make the sacrifices or have the dedication. Or can't due to money and life in general. (I believe if going into the medical field tuition should be FREE) I am sure you will downplay the amazing things you are doing. DONT! You are one of the many unsung heroes and I applaud you. I am the sister of a nurse and saw firsthand what it takes. Stay safe and hydrated! I love it when you show all your projects and new stuff you ordered. The PRIDE tapestry is beautiful!.
Wow love the hooks. Omg look at that beautiful and vibrant yarn. Thank you for sharing 💙🤗💜
So cool how it makes those beautiful cakes!
I had 0% interest in tapestry crochet until this video. You've piqued my interest, and I'll check out more. Nicely done!
Beautiful! Great job!
Your Pride tapestry would make an awesome pillow!
Your Pride banner is great! The winder reay worked well. Love how you accidentally order things😂
Great job with the lettering! Very neat and precise!
Love when a project comes together. When I seen the yarn umbrella ... gotta say I was a bit concerned for your safety ... but you smashed that! big hugs from Canada EH
Great job on your Tapestry crochet! Looks great!
Did the same thing you did. I bought one streamline metal Furl. I couldn’t help buying more in my favorite sizes. The company advises to keep the hooks in their boxes so I do. Juan folds up the yarn label and puts it in the middle of the cake. Thanks to you I bought that row counter and I absolutely love it!
Happy Pride! $25 a hook is more money than I want to spend on a crochet hook. I don't use the "easy to grip" hooks as I find I am more consistent in my stitches using an old style straight hook. Thanks for the info on doing the graphic work. I will definitely give that a spin.
Beautiful!
Hey Nick how goes it?
I’ve enjoyed your videos as I like to see how other crafty friends do things or have helpful hints or hacks for our crafts.
I mainly crochet but do dabble in other crafts so I “watch/listen” to many different people .
If it’s helpful I seen when winding up yarn, to take the label and roll it up and slide into the hole before taking it off the winder. And then it’s stored inside your cake until your ready for it and you’ll still know what your using.
I loved the tapestry too it’s on my list of makes as well!!
Happy crafting
Snyggaste virknålen😍. Måste köpa själv..
Yarn is generally hand dyed in hanks so that you can get the dye all over the yarn - much more difficult if the yarn is in a ball or cake.
Love it. Happy pride
Big Hugs 🤗 I love Furls. I just made a vest and am finishing a pair of bell bottoms with that anti-pilling yarn. I've also made bags, amigurumi etc... with it. We celebrate the 🌈 all year. Nice swift and winder. Since I dye yarn I often hank up balled your 😅
Well done 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The metal hooks look so pretty 😍
Your tapestry looks great! I use the big giant clothes pins as bobbins. It's really helpful. I learned that when I learned how to do C2C crochet.
That’s the exact swift/winder I also use and I also got it from Amazon. The swift umbrella is a little finicky, but I’ve used it to wind over 20 hanks since Dec and haven’t had any issues. Cheap, but works. Congratulations on winding your first cake!
Love Furls!
Great job on the tapestry!! I've crocheted forever but never tried this. Love your videos, crochet, plants and homestead things.
Love your crochet buddy
Wooden crochet hooks are great when working with bamboo yarn.
@Thryssinstitches has a great tutorial for using a yarn swift, and gives a lesson on putting yarn into hanks.
The center pull skeins the US is so used to require machines that only the bigger yarn manufacturers can afford. Also hand dyed yarns are dyed while in hank form at the length they are purchased in, which means caking up is an extra step.
I’m using the brown 6 clover right now. I recently won a furls pink 6 so I’m very excited for it to get here. Because 6 is my favourite and so is pink 😊 beautiful rainbow 🌈 yarn. I want some 😊❤😊
Have you ever considered using a wooden yarn spindle to hold your yarn cakes while you work? A spindle allows you to pull yarn from the outside of the cake so your don’t have to deal with the issue of collapsing yarn cakes as you work or hollowed out leftover yarn cakes if you don’t use an entire cake for your project.
I would love to make this for my Grandson!
wow those hooks look awesome!
Great video Makes me want to try tapestry
Wow. Great job nick!
I love the way you always think things through carefully !
I usually just plunge into my projects.
Love your videos
You will LOVE that yarn. I got for my daughter and their girlfriend to make them something
Nice I never do words i goin a try❤
I just got a swift too but haven’t used it yet, so this was informative and encouraging 👏🏻
The tapestry came out great ❤
I would not have had the patience to keep restarting it 😅
I love the inclusivity yarns, I just watched Kelsie from Passionknits make small swatches but I was curious to see more 😊
i loved this vid !
I like the rainbow yarn and your tapestry looks great. Your projects are amazing, you do such a great job with crochet. 🧶💜🙏🏻🌈
Enjoyed your video today. Thank you. Here’s another tip from Juan: fold up the labels from your yarn and stick them in the centers of cakes as you slip them off your winder.
❤❤Love
Hi Nick ! I speak french 😂 ans your prononciation is spot on !!!! I'm surprised you don't speak french.
As always living your podcast.
💜💜
Missed your live 😮
Your tapestry looks awesome 🌈
Amazing how much you get done while studying and working!!! Absolutely love all of my Furls. No carpal tunnel pain! H is my go to size 😆 welcome to the Furls club 😂
Have you used the metal streamline?? I haven’t tried their acrylic hooks, but I have to say just spending a couple hours doing that tapestry, my hands and wrists were sore from the big metal streamline. I’ve literally never experienced that before!
@@URBANFARMBOYS
I love my furls and really have no issues even with the metal streamline. I think it depends what kind of hook holder you are. I’m a knife/flute holder and furls are best for me and my wrists. If you are a pencil holder the metal streamline may not be optimal.
Well done! Your PRIDE project turned out great. I am curious about the crochet tapestry, so will have to check that out. 😊
people usually sell yarn in hanks because they don't have access to the expensive machinery to make it into skeins, and keeping (especially yarn made with natural fibers) in a cake puts more tension on the yarn, so it shouldn't be stored that way long-term.
I love my furls hooks so much! Be careful of dropping them! I love my big winder for my yarn snob power balls! Be careful of rainbow washing of yarn and companies.
Love the Pride tapestry! So fun🏳️🌈
Tell me about the bag you have the brown clover hook in? It looks functional. Thanks for sharing 😊
Curious if you have ever tried crocheting while holding the hook the other way? Not like a pencil. I m 61 and never got comfortable doing the pencil hold although it is apparently the “correct” way! Oh well. I ll keep doing it “the wrong way”!🥴. Love the videos. Have a good pride month.
Hi, I'm Kittee. I'm really be to the Tubing family, and I have lots of questions. What editing tool do you use? All I have right now is my phone, and I use it for everything. I want to make quality vids. Can you help me?
I have been subscribed to your channel for a few months, but I've only been producing videos for about two months.
Pride of what??? The yarn is the epic.
