Thank you so much for making this video. I had been searching for a way of to get rid of that little "line" of the old colour when switching to a new colour, and it had been driving me mad! Like you, I prefer to keep things tight by joining the new colour at the slip stitch, not the last two loops of the DC. Your tip at 12:53 about going through the back is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Ha I got it!! My pattern and this technique made my work in mirror image. Because it is a football blanket with letters in it. All I had to to, to correct this problem! What to ad one ☝️ extra row in it. But you so right it makes the C2C blanket so much more neat.
This is honestly the best technique Ive seen since Im doing my first c2c Im having that same line showing problem so I shall definitely use this on my next c2c piece! Thank you so much! 💕
This is great! I love the slst method of changing color! Going to have to try both these methods, I'm in the middle of a 2 colour blanket where I have hammers, drill, screw drivers and pliers in black on a colour back ground and some times there's only one block of different colour to carry yarn and is not worth a bobbin so this might actually be the solution!! Thanks 😀
Hi! Thanks for the video, I'm about to embark on my biggest C2C graphgan yet, 10,000 squares, but only 3 colours. Every time I start a graphgan, I'm always looking for ways to change colours without alot of ends to sew in, but I guess there's no easy and neat way to avoid it. I think the video you're referring to is "Color changes for C2C" by 3amgracedesigns? You do colour changes like her. Her video thumbnail isn't of a C2C graphgan in progress but of Amigurumis, so maybe why it threw you off? When in the back of her work, she goes in with a new block, the normal way, from the front. When in front of her work, she goes in with her hook through the back and pulls the yarn from the front. I'll try her method and yours, of doing the pulling through the yarn from the front, whether in the front or back of the graphgan.
@@KnotsinYarn there is one more question. How do you carry your yarn up, without having that strand of yarn. I saw a clip where they slip stitch up. But so much work.
@@saskiaboudreaux1694 you just have to weave rhem all in. U can only really carry over 1 block w out it showing poorly in the work. Worst part of c2c. Unless you back with material
I noticed with the last black and yellow block you did on the back side of this piece you did the join the normal way from front to back instead of back to front. Kinda confused now.
I'm oh so confused. I've made only 1 c2c afghan before, but it was only striped so I neednt have carried colors. And i do NOT understand any attempts to carry yarn across in a typical pattern. All of that to say, i have absolutely zero idea what im looking at, or supposed to be seeing. Too many balls dangling there to see what youre doing.
@@KnotsinYarn thats kind of what I feared. So what do you do, then? In invisible join? A knot? I gave a pattern I absolutely need to do, for my daughter, who is expecting her first baby soon and I found a perfect pattern for her!
@@purplepaisleypassion yes. You cut, knot and weave, start a new color. It's a pain in the butt, but the results will be so much nicer in the end. worth it. the ends... we hates them

awesome. so glad I could help you out!
3amgracedesigns is the original video I believe you originally saw
Yes. I do believe so

That's the only issue w/ them and words, one side will be backwards but it's a awesome technique
Oh my word this was a game changer!!
It really is. Thanks 😊
Just wanted to say thank you for this video, I’m new to c2c with a graph and your technique has really made it easy so thank you
awesome. Glad it helped you!
Brilliant tutorial thank you, just got to get my head around handling all my colours and sewing in the ends!
Haha. Sewing in the ends is torture I got to say but it's so nice when done.
This is honestly the best technique Ive seen since Im doing my first c2c Im having that same line showing problem so I shall definitely use this on my next c2c piece! Thank you so much! 💕

Thanks 😀
And somehow I've misplaced all my bobby pins! I love them for bobbins!!
Oh, all those ends. I'm sure it will be gorgeous when done though .
This is such a wonderful help. Thank you.
The bobby pin idea is inspired!
Thanks. It's the best way I've found for the bobbins!
Wow, going to give it a try, thank you!❤️
Thank you so much those corner bits always drive me insane too
You're very welcome

That's how I do it too and it's worked really well for me too.
3amgracedesigns posted a video on this method 6 months ago. Best method I've found for changing colors.
I'll check it out, Thanks. I could not find it anywhere or remember who it was
@@KnotsinYarn was that the video?
The video you are looking for is from 3amgracedesigns. I just watched it.
Love this technique! Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for putting this up .Subbing up now.🤣
when looking for video you've watched before, if it was on you tube, go thru your history,
It should be in there.
I'm gonna use this method thank you!
Would it not be easier to make all the C2C stitches trough the back. Just to get in that habit?
That's is what I do now. I might have to rewatch the video and update it. It's been a while since I've made this one. Thanks 😊

I will rewatch thr video. Perhaps I messed up. I was just getting used to doing it this way and maybe I did it the wrong way
Do you crochet the entire blanket that way or just the color change blocks
I make the entire blanket this way.

honestly, you can only carry over 1 block. Anything other than that, it starts to show and look crappy. So, then it's cut and weave
