    My goodness, I have been crocheting for 35yrs and I have never thought of anything like this. Its absolutely fascinating seeing new ways of making things. This is so neat to see!!

      Amazing! I have been crocheting for 30 years and I had never seen this technique before either. I was mind blown and had to try it immediately! It is so neat to watch the pattern develop. 😁💜

      I have been crocheting for 46 years. I saw people do this years ago, but the general consensus I heard was how difficult it was to figure out. This convinced me not to try it. But this explanation is so clear, concise, and easy to follow along that I know I'll be able to do this once I get some variegated yarn from "Yarnia" (my yarn room). Thank you for these color pooling videos.

    For someone like myself that routinely uses both sides of my brain, my crafty side and OCD side both LOVE how this works. It seems more satisfying than just making sure my tensions and stitches are correct! This could keep my attention on a project longer than 5min hahahaha! Thank you so much cause this is awesomesauce!

    I have a habit of going down random UA-cam rabbit holes late at night. On one such night I found your colour pooling videos and you got me motivated to start crocheting again. I haven't picked up my hook in years and I had only ever done the basic single stitch that my granny taught me. These videos helped me make a lovely scarf as my first project and now I'm working on a baby blanket for my friends who are expecting soon. Thank you so much!

    What I learned is that it's about controlling the color and not about stitch count or tension, for proper pooling, fudging is not sloppy work, it's a design element! 😂 Yeah!! 🎉🎉 Thank you, I am definitely going to try this again now thanks to your help!

    • @ItsTimeforYarn

    I have detested variegated yarn because I have never been able to appreciate its unpredictable pattern. HOWEVER, I CAN DO COLOR POOLING. I had just not seen it in the past!

But I've known that diff yarns hv diff lengths of colors, & knowing that wld be significant in projects. But no one seemed to know.

I got Red Heart, Caron, Loops & Thread Charisma & Loops & Th. Soft & Shiny. Several of the Homespun was $3. From location to location they had different colors on sale. The big Caron Anniversary cakes that were $35 I got for $13.49, so exciting. Now I'm set for yarn so Im going to learn this planned pooling, Im determined! Thanks so much for teaching this planned pooling. I really enjoy your videos.

    Ok, I actually tried this instead of just saying how cool it looked like most other comments... Let me share a tip to save you HOURS of frustration like I had (the video falls very short of explaining this)...
    Knowing where to repeat the sequence is KEY. my yarn was very similar to hers but had "magic numbers" of 2,3,(6x)2 - in other words, a sequence that repeated after a set of 17 stitches. It did NOT work out the way she instructs here. I actually had to spilt a stitch color section mid way to start a new row. Now it's perfect.
    I literally had to find out how the stitches worked out on grid paper first to find out where my break should be. If you do this: the even rows are shifted to the right by 1/2 and have the same number of stitches in each row. Once I did that ground work, it's coming out perfectly. I can't believe this wasn't stressed more. It's essential.
    Lastly, once you start that 3rd row where you can check to make sure your pattern is right and you're good - from there just remember the color of the stitch you're making should be the same color as the lined up row below it and the very last stitch in that magic number for that color shouldn't. Very very easy way to keep track. So if I have a number of two: the first stitch will match the color below but not my second stitch. If I had a number of 3: the first two should match below but not the third.
    I hope this saves at least one person from almost giving up after undoing the entire work like 6 times. Good grief.😢

      If you pay attention to row 2 in the video, it does, in fact, split the color way. She may not have stressed that she was splitting it but did say to crochet the color way to the end and turn and crochet back to the beginning of the color way thus splitting it. 🤷‍♀️It worked perfectly for me doing that.

    I am getting very lost at the end of row 2. Somehow you got your blue yarn to have one stitch at the end of row 2, and one at the beginning of row 3, do that it shifts and makes the diagonal. I keep ending up with the same colors on the same row, just stacking them.

      That happens sometimes. In this video I show how to use a half double crochet to “hack” the diagonal if you’re interested.

    I just discovered this technique after decades of crotchet and knitting. It's so cool. I went right out and I bought wool to try it. This video was super helpful in figuring it out. Something that you might want to talk about is adjusting the pattern at the sides to keep the diagonal. It messed me up a few times. 😊 I found the way you explained this to be very clear. Thanks so much!

    24:10 _Colour pooling can be a bit tricky, it is not for the faint of heart ._ ;) Let me add: it is not for those who do not like to plan. As the fabric is manipulated tensions wise, sometimes loose sometimes firm to get the right amount of stitches in the right place - it might be better suited for larger pieces (within larger pieces this will sort itself out. And the projects should be squar. Increases and decreases would upset the whole pattern It could be nice for a bag (with an inside bag of woven fabric of course).

  • @elliwesishawkins4799

    Making sure every other row is diagonal sounds scary until I remember the orange/purple/orange is 1 less stitch total than the blue/white/blue so the first row having two orange/purple/orange and the second row having the second blue/white/while at least helps us know the third row is gonna start the orange/purple/orange offset from the first row. We just have to hope it’s offset by 1 stitch and not more lol. This is honestly really cool, and I’m scared to try it with all the guess and check it takes

    I’ve watched your first video in this series and now this one, and I’m wondering, why moss stitch? Is it just a favorite of yours? Could simple single crochet achieve the color pooling too? I understood the reason for Granny stitch in the other blanket since it’s bulky, but still curious about why you recommend moss stitch. Thanks for the tutorials, I haven’t crocheted in a long time but this would be a fun one to restart with!!

    • @ItsTimeforYarn
      @ItsTimeforYarn  10 місяців тому +1

      Welcome back to the crochet community! We’ve missed you. 😁💜
      I use the moss stitch because for me, it is easier to see how many stitches I have in each color and to control where they land. I have seen others use single crochet to color pool but I have never been successful with it because the stitches get too close together and I lose track. I recommend that you give each of them a go and decide what works best for you. Can’t wait to see your color pooling. You can email a picture or message me on Instagram (no pressure though. Just fun and encouragement!)

    Hello, thank you for the tutorial! Such a cool technique, I've only ever done amigrurumi but I may try to do something like this. Are you skipping a stitch every time you do another crochet? it looks like theres more space in between them than I normally have

    • @ItsTimeforYarn
      @ItsTimeforYarn  10 місяців тому

      I am using the miss stitch which is a single crochet followed by a chain. Then in the row above, the single crochet is stitched into the chain 1 space. The only time you skip stitches is on the very first row when you stitch into the chain.

  • @kawaiikryptid
    @kawaiikryptid Рік тому

    this is really cool! but to solve your tension issue when turning the work couldnt you make the row one stitch shorter and treat the "bar" as one of your allocated stitches for the current colour?

    • @ItsTimeforYarn
      @ItsTimeforYarn  11 місяців тому

      I think it would work initially, however, as the pattern progresses, that stitch will travel diagonally across the work and will need to be adjusted to only one stitch every time. I do this with a half double crochet when I need to in order to control the color. 😁💜
