Such a cute basket. I am new to crochet so please forgive my ignorance but what does mod mean in crochet terms please?

This is really nice. Good job of demonstrating the pattern.

Aber wer häkelt denn im Stehen? Wenn ich sitze, kann sich das ding garnicht frei bewegen

I love the blanket you're crocheting.

Thanks for reviewing these.. I've purchased a few sets of hooks from Temu, and for the most part, I found them to be adequate. I have been crocheting since I was a child, and I'm 76 now, so I have some favorites of my own. For the most part, beginners could use them to learn before progressing to better hooks. It's a good way to start and see if crochet is something they want to do without any large investment. Those hooks you got weren't anything I wanted to try because they didn't appeal to me and looked too clumsy to hold, so I passed them by. I'll stick to Prym or Susan Bates and occasionally Boye if necessary. I'm flexible and enjoy switching up occasionally. Maybe it helps to keep the arthritis from setting in by doing that! Anyway, thanks again for the review. 💕💕💕

Thank you!

The portable yarn holder is a great idea, but the material in the one you got catches on the yarn quite a bit. There are acrylic ones that work so much nicer. The do have a tendency to get a little hung on the swivel, but a quick pull and you are good to go again. The magnet yarn holder is freaking amazing! It is my favorite yarn holder. It spins well, but it doesn't really like big skeins or cakes. Plus, it's gorgeous.

After reading the band directions, the way they explain it, is actually a double crochet. Not a half double. This book was originally written in German. I’m wondering if there are translations errors in American stitches vs European. This would definitely cause issues.

Seriously disappointed in this book. Bought it for this pattern. You are on point. It’s terribly written. Anytime there is an insane “special stitch” there needs to be associated pictures. The explanation in the chart key is terrible. The wording is ridiculous and confusing. I write my own patterns including charts and this is the pits. Total waste of money.

I tried Temu yarn. At first it looked and felt great. But after I knit with it, it just lost all elasticity, and the project wore out within minutes.😢

Thank you for posting! I live virtually from your video and I restrain myself because I have just made a yarn organization and I have enough yarn 😅

I bought Simib "2pcs Rainbow Icelandic Wool Yarn 100% Wool Gradient Multi-color Yarn For Hand Knitting Crocheting Sweater 180m/pc 50g/pc". Havnt knitted with it yet but it seems really nice. Also other crafting items to make my own stitch markers etc. I was happy with my purchases. I hate that Temu descriptions are so bad. Might be cause it was translated from Chinese? I find the lack of yarn thickness the most frustrating. Most of the 100% wool yarns are more expensive than what I can get locally.

Temu is basically buying direct from the manufacturers in China, so if you don't mind buying China made, then this is a great place to find deals on things you already get but just cutting out the middle man and retailer. That's why a lot of the products are decent quality, they already went through the QC but to maximize profit the manufacturer is selling direct to consumer. I think this is also due to companies are moving to cheaper countries as China is getting more expensive to produce.

Thank you for making this video... With the cashmere yarn, the thread that comes with it, you're suppose to knit it with the yarn so it gives your knitting structure. I buy cashmere from a Mongolian company and it always comes with the extra thread. You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

The prices on Temu went up a lot in the last year. I was trying to buy the same bday decorations as in 2022 and the price increased from $0.79 to $7.98 per item. Also I bought the granny square blocking board for $14.99 on Amazon last week. Considering poor description on some items sold on Temu, it may not be worth it to take your chances unless the price is unbelievably low. Thank you for the review!

Awesome stuff! Im not a fingering weight yarn person at all! Love the blocking board! Love the second set of hooks! Cant wait to see how they all work out! Thanks! ❤❤

Very nice hats thank you ❤❤❤

how much yarn did you use?

How do you choose between 4” & 5” needles?

Hi I love this tutorial but is there a way of joining different colors around invisibly so you don’t see the joins . Thanks

"PromoSM" 😻

fantastic tutorial and great for beginners to learn all the essentials to independent crochet patterns from scratch but im not sure what one would be able to do with the design of that exact pattern. im sure it could be laced into a shawl or pillow case cover and so on but it really doesn't do anything for me personally as far as the design. but i could not help but notice how well done the explaining of the pattern in the tutorial was! kudos and cheers

Love it

That is so anti-intuitive. I was under the illusion that the cast on had to be close to get even stitches. THANK YOU!

I love simple fixes like this.

❤❤

Loved rhis pattern. Just finished my pouf tonight. It will be the footstool to put in my son's nursery for while I nurse him. One note is that I did need more than 2 skeins to complete the project but not too far off... I love this yarn, so it wasnt a big deal to have extra 😊 Thank you for sharing your skills with us!

Omg thank you for this. So helpful

Thank you for demo

Who knew it was that easy? This will be one video I will be coming back to visit in the future. Thanks so much.

Arghhhh! Where was this video a few days ago when exactly this happened and I had to frog and restart.

Hi, Thanks for this tutorial. I don't how many times this has happened 😢 Could this method be used when you drop a stitch say 3/4 th of the way through your project? What about purl stitches? I'm new to knitting? 😊

Love this!!!!!❤❤

I have lantern moon DPNs and they are nothing better than half price cheaper Knit Pro (knitters pride) ones. They are definetely beautiful, nice crafted but do they need to be so expensive? If I got them for free, I would be delighted using them but otherwise I think they are just way too expensive.

My only recommendation, as a NICU nurse, is not to use the plastic eyes but stitch them instead

I love it 😊😊😊😊

Just downloaded this pattern. Thanks.

Thank you for this. As a new-ish, essentially self-taught (by watching videos) knitter these basics are very helpful.

Wow, you asked and they just sent them to you ?????? I had to buy mine ka ching big time. I'm sooooo sad

Thank you. Nice beanie…🙏

What size hook

What do you wash the. With

How if I'd like to make a piece in rectangular shape?

How if I'd like to realize rectangular shape?

My mom taught me left handed. A neighbor taught her left handed. Lol I don't think I could do right handed if my life depended on it. Will you do a short on left vs right using the purl stitch?

I’m confused on the web site it says you used a 6.5mm hook but in the video you use a size L or 8mm hook and in the pdf you use an 8mm hook which should I use

I find continental style much easier as I prefer crochet and am already used to holding my tension in my left hand.

I think I would prefer left handed. I don't knit, I Crochet but I intend to learn knitting. The left handed looks more comfortable and similar to how I crochet.

Thanks for showing this. Now I know I was taught German and left handed --not that I knit but it translate to the way i crochet.

I do believe Continental is faster, but sometimes when I get tired I find myself throwing with the Continental.
