I crocheted for 24 hours as a beginner | crochet with me challenge, reading vlog
thank you so much everyone for the love on this video, as someone just starting out it's so encouraging 🩵🩵 I've gotten a lot of question on the first blanket that I made, so I thought I'd pin a comment with some info!! ---->
I used 6 skeins of bernat blanket perfect phasing yarn and an 8mm crochet hook
when I got to the end of one skein I would continue on with the same color of the next one (so I would start with the center color of the skein then start with the outside color of the next skein so the color transition was seamless)
the pattern I used is a granny rectangle, so I suggest looking up a tutorial if you're not sure where to start! here's one that helped me (and don't forget to turn your work after each round 💕): czcams.com/video/6goxlVLxenU/video.html
Here's a link to the tik tok made by the original creator: www.tiktok.com/@the_theseus/video/7247998393669193003?_r=1&_t=8jHXcrSlwy7
did u follow the tutorial exactly? how many incraments of 3 ( for the 3 + 2) starter chain? loved the video btw!! i love the size of your blanket and was curious!
I think it’s more convenient to center pull your yarn, it gets less tangled and once you’ve found it it’s just easier
That makes a lot of sense :)
It doesn’t get less tangled but it’s not gonna move all over the place which is amazing
@@sah6._there is a thing such as a yarn bowl! Specifically made for the purpose to hold the yarn and not have it roll around
I have no luck center pulling. Always gets tangled, one project was flat out ruined by it once :(
Those type of skeins are outside pulls. There is a difference between outside pulls and inside pulls. Inside pulls are like what the typical "value yarns" are like red heart, loops and threads, caron, and Joann big twist. The outside type yarns are most of the Lion brand line, and stuff like premier puzzle.
I am a center puller from skeins, but since I got my cake winder, I wind all of my yarn and then pull from the outside because the cakes sit nice and flat.
Very cool I’ll definitely be looking into cake winders I’ve never heard of that!!
I came for the crochet but i am completely enamoured with how you talk about books. You really make it feel like I’m gabbing with the girls!!! And I love this audiobook representation! I for one have a really hard time reading physical books and I love multitasking so listening to an audiobook while I knit/crochet is life changing. I loved this video, definitely subscribing!
Thank you so much!!!! Audiobooks 4 life 💪🏻
flipping the ghost inside out was actually the correct thing to do! my first amigurumi (a lil octopus) was a fail bc i didn’t know that the work curls up naturally in the opposite direction than it’s supposed to.
you’re doing a great job! i hope you keep enjoying yourself and would love to see more crochet content if it feels fun for you!
Thank you so much this is really encouraging!! And good to know that they’re supposed to be flipped out, the tutorial that I used didn’t mention it but that makes a lot of sense!!
@@idkpaigely yeah, the tutorial i used didn't mention it either! my mom had to tell me hahaha
Lol. When you miss a stitch you have to redo it or the rest of the pattern will look wonky. 😂 It’s called frogging. Your video was hilarious.
i use to watch my grandmother crochet before she passed! you're as fast as her oh my!! I lived with her my whole life and always watched her crochet!! im so suprised how fast u are as a begginer!!
girl how do u only have 500 subs this is like one of the best videos i’ve watched in a while!! (i’m definitely subscribing)
thank you so much!!!
Frrr
no way you’re such a small youtuber?? i watched ur whole video thinking u were like well-established and had been doing this forever!
thank you!!! that's super encouraging to hear :)
@@idkpaigely ofc!! i literally love ur energy and am so happy i found u. im making that blanket for my mom for christmas
I love how comfortable you are with the camera and how you talk about the books
P.s. I’ll always try to center pull when I can
thank you!!! that's super encouraging 💕
I try to center pull, but sometimes it can back fire and turn into a knotted mess... Truly the worst. A yarn winder also helps!
Oh cool I didn’t know yarn winders exist!!
the blanket is so cute omg 😭😭😭
I love this style of video with my two favs crochet and reading!!!❤
absolutely LOVE the reading and crochet crossover vlog!
You are such a great crocheter especially for a beginner. My first projects were not nearly as neat as yours. Keep it going! And I loved the book content thrown in too! ❤️❤️ literally my dream day is now crocheting and reading during breaks lol. Also, I would say where you pull the yarn from is def up to preference, center pull is easier until (usually) the skein collapses on itself.
My two FAVORITE things in the world are reading and crocheting so the fact you combined them! Mmmm I officially love you. Also I was gonna read the perfect marriage but since you told me about it now I know to just move it down my list a little!
thank you!!!!! if you end up reading the perfect marriage you have to let me know what you thought 💕
You’re actually so good for a beginner!! Beautiful blanket c:
I always... always!... center pull because the flipping around of the skein drives me wild lol. Also, I impulsively bought that phasing yarn in purple last time I was at Joann so thank you for the blanket idea. I'm excited to try and actually finish a blanket project
I hate when the yarn rolls around too, that's one of the reasons I was curious about other people's methods 😂 I'm so glad you like the blanket!! It honestly went faster than I expected, good luck!!!
okay I may of watched this 20 mins ago but I just wanted to tell u please don’t ever give up ur now my favorite crochet you tuber I can’t wait to see more crochet videos!! Also if I don’t answer ur reply’s I will soon!❤
I just made an ombré blanket with the same bernat yarn! It’s so cozy.
Where do you get the pattern 😭
@@Awa-111it looks like she’s just doing a granny square blanket- a single granny square with however many rounds to get the desired size
subscribing because i love your personality and i wish i could have a friend like you to sit and listen to something with as we crochet all day 😂
Omg i relate so much to the flow state. I’ll be up till 3am knitting because I just zone out into it and love to see the progress
Crochet fast becomes addictive (I started learning in Jan this year) Please take care of your eyes and remember you should be focusing 20 feet away from you for a few minutes every 20 minutes or so to prevent eye strain.
You just gained a new subscriber! Your vibe is everything and I hope to see more crochet content from you 🫰🏽🫰🏽
Thank you so much for the support!! 💕
you got a new subscriber.this video was so much fun to watch.also that mushroom granny square is adorable
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
For me, I prefer using the outside yarn. Also, I normally take my skeins and roll them into balls of yarn before I start my projects. It just works best for me.
both methods are normal for a skein (outside yarn and heart thread), and both have their own benefits. The heart's a little harder to find most of the time and tends to come out in a clump, which can make a bit of a mess if you're not careful. Like, doesn't damage your yearn but sometimes the heart comes out bigger than you'd expect.
Hi you are doing great as a beginner crocheter keep it up the blanket is pretty and also you can pull from the sides or pull from the outside what ever works for you.
Thank you!!! This is really encouraging 💕
omg this video is instresting i jst stopped everything i was doing when u postedd!!
I completely agree with you on the Goodreads thing. I usually research a book TO DEATH before reading, only to find I that some of the books I've loved aren't always the highest rated😅 to each their own I guess! Lol
That’s the beauty of reading 🤷🏻♀️ and sometimes it can be fun to read negative reviews of favorite books lol
Girlll this is my first time watching you and i am OBBSESSED, you are sooo funny and witty and its everything
❤️❤️❤️
i'm a beginner knitter and am gonna learn how to crochet soon! thanku for the blanket inspiration! :~)
Omg I love your videos so much
Thank you so much!!!!
loved this!!!!
about yarn pulling - i just make a ball of yarn before i start project, so I know if there are any imperfections, i untie knots and other unworldly things that you can find in the yarn skeins 🤣 turning one skein into the ball takes me around 15 minutes and a piece of mind for the rest of the project
No one has mentioned doing that yet, that’s super interesting!!!
I think the center pull is more prone to knots. if you work w more than one skein of the same color, it’s honestly worth it to ball it up. It just makes a more pleasant experience. That said honestly do whatever you like more bc it doesn’t rly matter and the differences aren’t that big. Also I just got this vid recommended to me, never seen you, but I think i love you lmao I hope you have a wonderful week
Thank you!!!! I hope your week is wonderful too 💕💕
Really enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the good work🥰
I am team outside pull, because when you center pull it uses the inside of the skein and leaves a pile of knotted yarn from the outside.
I like to pull from the center, it’s just more satisfying when you finish a skein! Plus, I hate having my skin bounce around all over the place.
I've been center pulling in skeins for years (all weights), easier to keep loose tension and knot free working yarn, but it can get messy at the end when the skein collapses. Unravelling from the outside end is just extra time spent stopping stitches to roll the skein around for a pool of working yarn and I don't want to stop to do that when I'm in the zone. I just got a ball/cake winder for $25 and it is The BEST Purchase I've ever made for yarn tools. If there is any tangling at the end, it's in the last 10-20 yards verses the last 50 from skein center pull which is great because I tend to work big projects with lots of skeins.
i love ur accent omg and i love these videos omgg- i cant believe u posted right as i was looking at ur page im so happy u posted also u should check out chunky yarn! perfect for a blanket i havent finished watching the video yet but- im new to crochet ive only made like..150+ inch chain-....but anyways ur so underated !!
To answer your question, it doesn’t really matter which yarn you pull, but I personally think the middles yarn is better because it gets less tangled and its cleaner and easier. Love your video!!❤
yes it is better to use the center pull but depending on the type of yarn it will have a middle or not
Great job. Love the blanket
I usually pull from the outside when I’m working straight from the skein because when you center pull it has a tendency of getting all floppy and tangled, it’s also very inconvenient to carry around the tangled floppy mess of yarn when I bring it to school
A reader an crocheter??? I instantly subscribed
Thank you!!!! 💕
Hii, came to your channel newly for this video, you flipping the ghost the other way actually made it right side out the messier side in amigurumi is usually the wrong side, and the nicer side that the stitches look good on is the right side!! it's definitely hard to tell as a beginner but when I made stuffed animals when I was just starting out, I could tell if it was the right side out if I was crocheting towards the left on the round (clockwise) and if I was crocheting on the round to my right instead (counterclockwise) then I knew I needed to flip it!
Hello, I just found your video and thought I’d watch your 24 hour crochet. I try to find the center end of the yarn it’s easier to pull from there. Otherwise the yarn ball bounces all over and sometimes it can cause a tangle or twist in your yarn, but it’s ultimately up to you. I love that huge granny square blanket I’m inspired. I love your ghost and paper is great as filling and that mushroom square. Amazing
Thank you so much!!! And I definitely have the problem with my yarn bouncing around when I pull from the outside so that makes a lot of sense!!
I pull from the inside because then the skein doesn‘t always roll around. It just lays still. Really easy to work with in any situation.
Some advice, even from a beginner myself: Always pull from the center. For 1, it allows easier crocheting, especially if you're going at a good pace. For 2, like another commenter already said, it makes it less likely to tangle and it doesn't move around as much like if you were to do it from the outside
How does this angel only has 896 subs ?! Your extremely talented and underrated ❤ I love you and ur vids sm ! Edit: Keep doing what you love and never give up
Thank you so much!!!!! I’ll do my best 💕💕
I loved watching your video! 😊 I'm knitting a champagne cardigan right now and I usually rewind my yarn to make sure I don't have a lot of knots or a tangled mess inside 😄 after rewinding the yarn stands on its own and I can take it wherever I want without chasing after it 🙈
Your joy about the second book was so refreshing, I think I'm gonna start listening to audio books whole crafting!
Happy crocheting 🎉
Wow I thought all the knots in the skein were coming from me I didn’t realize they were already there!!!! I’m glad I could pull you into the world of audiobooks and crafting and your cardigan sounds amazing :) I really appreciate your comment!!!!!
Thank you 🥰🥰
Inside or outside pull for your yarn is completely up to the user. I prefer to do an outside pull (no yarn barf). However, I have a husband with a 3D printed who prints me so many yarn related things. Several are yarn holders. I have a lazy susan type yarn holder that spins as I use the yarn. He also designed and printed a yarn holder that has a wrist attachment so you can hang your yarn from your wrist and walk or stand while knitting or doing crochet.
Wow that sounds amazing!!!!!!! 🩷
I get so obsessed with crochet when the weather gets colder and through winter then by spring I'm ready to throw all my yarn out 😅
Stop it you're way too cute I wanna be your friend so bad. The blanket's looking so cute and cozy 💕
Stop 😂 I want to be your friend! I laughed so much while you were talking about the book because I’m literally the same way 😂 I read Fourth Wing 3 weeks ago and I’m still thinking about it 🫠 also, currently crocheting a cardigan 😅 after seeing your blanket, I might have to try making that next 😍
thank you!!! and a cardigan might have to be my next project 👀 I hope yours it going well!!
Your blanket is amazing! I’m so impressed at how much you got done in a weekend. Wow!
My thoughts on working yarn from the skein. 1) I pull from the outside if I know I’m not going to use the whole skein at once. The leftover is more compact and doesn’t create a pile of yarn barf. 2) I pull from the inside on big projects when I know I’ll be using multiple skeins and it won’t roll around or get tangled which happens when I use the outside.
Love the video and the book talk.
That makes a lot of sense!!! I guess the answer to my question is both methods!! Thanks for commenting 💕
This was an enjoyable video!!
I pull from the outside of the skein, but only because I put mine on a pendulum called a Wool Jeanie, so it spins on there and never gets tangled up and freely flows as I crochet. Love everything you're making, you're doing so well for someone new at it. My first projects were super messed up looking 😂
I think I’m going to have to look into a wool Jeanie!!! And the first few things I made definitely looked pretty messed up 😅 crochet seems like a practice makes perfect type of craft 💕
You can pull your yarn from we’re ever you want but I like to do it from the middle
I just saw that you havent uploaded in a few months and that makes me very sad, i loved this crochet/book content and would love to see more of your work
So most people use center pool I like to use the outside so I can see how much yarn I have left especially with chunky yarn. I would definitely do the outside just so you’re aware and you don’t start a game of yarn chicken
I try to do a center pull depending on the yarn.
I need to start listening to audio books! I love reading, but with kids and life in general, I don't have a lot of time to crochet and read.
i personally pull from the middle if its acrilic yarn or just not fluffy yarn and for fluffy yarn i full from the side if im making a blanket i like pulling from the side but middle is definitly more convienyent
I think you can get the stuffing from Joanne Fabrics but I got eyes from a hobby lobby
Dig for the middle piece it makes it a lot easier to keep going with with less stops
I used to take the yarn from the outside of the skein but sinds I found out that center pull was a thing I only do center pulls
Omg she is so adorable
what i do is that if i find the start on the outside i pull from there but if it isnt i find it in the center
i pull the outside yarn because with worsted weight it gets tangled and yarn vomits everywhere when i pull from center. also for the ghost, there is a right and wrong side since its amigurumi, so the "inside" was probably just the correct side!!
good to know that was the right side of the ghost!! the tutorial didn't mention flipping it so I thought I was going rogue 😅
Hi, im a new subscriber. I am also from New England!! Im from South Eastern Massachusetts, where aboutscare you from? Also i love how u explain the audio books, you're totally making me want to start doing that😊
I felt the same when I saw house of night book reviews ! 😂 I was like they just don't understand the vibe, the drama 😂
Exactly!!! You either get it or you don’t 🤷🏻♀️
I subscribed... I to am a fellow Crocheter, I have been crocheting for over 50 yrs... A CZcamsr "Hooked By Robin" does a lot of easy patterns to learn from... Keep it up. Don't Stop... Much LOVE from Oklahoma...
I hope I’m able to crochet for that long 💕thanks for the pattern recommendation!!
Make more crochet vids!!! I love you!!! 🎉 you’re so cute
subscribed :) (i litterly went to sub and i was so shocked you only have 161 subs, defo thought it would be over 5k because this video was actually interesting) Remember me when your famous :)
Thank you so much!!! We’re just getting started over here 💪🏻💪🏻
As another youngest child, ty for giving me ideas, though getting 3 done one top of other projects may be a struggle
Can you please make more crochet videos
They're really enjoyable ❤❤
Omg you look so kind !!! I wanna be your friend 🥰
I barely go for the centerpull with plushyarn it doesnt rly goes faster this way xD
I pull from the inside, I hate having to worry about the skein rolling around to get my yarn from it
I use middle peace to not mess up the outside❤❤
11:08 that took a turn!!
So I ordered the blanket yarn bc I'm obsessed. :) Where do I find how to do the granny rectangle please? :)
I just looked up “granny rectangle tutorial” on CZcams!!
I'm a center pull girlie, but I will no longer do that with yarn from hobby lobby. It always gives me yarn barf. Specialty yarns I decide based on how it feels.
Hi, I’m so glad to have ran into your video. One book I will recommend is The House Maid by Freida McFadden. It is a gooood book to read. There is a second part to it . I need to get my hands on the second book to read. Can’t wait. Enjoy crocheting 🧶 😊
I've heard good things about it thanks for the rec!!
I relate to this
Great book
do you have a video on that blanket??! which video tutorial did you follow ? 😍
i pull from the outside because when i pull from the inside i get a hugeeee knot from it
I always pull from the outside!! Whenever I try to pull it from the middle it gets messed up 😅
Same!!! I felt like I was doing it wrong but it’s good to know I’m not alone 😅
There are yarn that are center pull or outer pull. The way the yarn is wrapped that you are showing should use the yarn on the outside. If you pull from the center you will have a lot of yarn barf. Nice blanket.
I find pulling works well until your to a certain point then you get big tangled chucks coming out
Dig for the middle!!! The skeins move around less
That makes sense the skein definitely rolls around when you pull from the outside!!
I also crochet stuffs to gift my close relatives. They just feel like they have more meaning.
And crochet gifts are often really useful too like blankets, clothes, or plushies!! It’s a great way to give to loved ones 💕
Came because of the crocheting but I also love how you talk abt books. I also love dark/obsessive male lead characters cuz they are so fun to read lol
Also: how do you only have ~400 subs? i def thought you were someone with like at least a few thousand with the editing skills and how good you are at talking to the camera
thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support 💕
It's easier to crochet from the middle than the outside. I have a yarn winder just because you can't always find the one on the inside so I rewind all my yarn before I use it just to be able to pull from the middle lol. I know I'm extra. LOL
The fangirl giggles whenever she talked about books is EVERYTHING
Hi! Could you link what video/pattern and yarn you used for the blanket? It looks soooo cozy and Im jealous haha
ik this was made 2 months ago so your probably have the eyes but if you need eyes for a project and you don't got them then you can use black yarn/string and then sew it into the project. you can also use beads if your in a very tight pinch
I ended up using yarn scraps from the blanket in this video!! But using beads is so smart I never would have thought of that!!
Can you please Show what Tutorial of patern for the First blanken you made?
hi! I just added a pinned comment to this video with more info, I hope that helps!!
