    You have no idea how badly I’ve been wanting exactly this content! No one else is teaching how to design!

    • @PunsandPixels
      @PunsandPixels Před 6 měsíci +5

      That’s because it’s complicated and also because this is where the real money is

    Part 3 is not wanted, it is needed!! And having the maths lessons and the explaining why in video is muchly appreciated

  • @Anne5440_
    @Anne5440_ Před rokem +13

    You are teaching this in a way that really works for my brain! Parts 3 to whatever is needed please! Also your explaining how you sketch this out is wonderful. I'm so thrilled with this! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have made this 75 yr old very happy and excited. My granddaughter is easy to choose what to make for her. But my 2 grandsons (15 and 9) baffle me for crochet. One I'm sure would like pokémon but the other i have no clue. Learning your process will help be able to have them give me a picture of what they like. I have been learning geology to help my brain stay functioning. Know I just want to learn stuff. I also want to make stuff. I've crafted all my life. But now I'm disabled and stuck semi reclined in a recliner. This limits me in how I can work. So I must do hand stitching crafts. My expensive sewing machine just gathers dust. You are making my world better!

    Part 3 explaining more on the spiral and adjusting starting point please? I need more detail to understand fully.
    Thank you so much for the crochet design masterclass. I've learned so much. I've always wanted to design my own patterns, and now I can.

  • @emilythesmelly
    @emilythesmelly Před rokem +31

    I love this series, and I'm super excited to put it into practice! I'd love to see a video on short rows for shaping some time in the future~

  • @lexiharding5498
    @lexiharding5498 Před rokem +12

    1. This video is insanely helpful, 2. I love your comment about the transitions - I totally sympathise!! and 3. Thank you for putting so much effort into these, it's really helpful for those of us who don't even want to design to sell - just to design for our own purposes. Thank you!!

  • @milothemoth
    @milothemoth Před měsícem +1

    This is so underrated! I love crochet but struggle with numbers and the way you provide visual aids and clear reasoning is so helpful!

  • @claireallume
    @claireallume Před rokem +8

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! For years I've been haphazardly building a crochet toolbox out of the very "paint by numbers" world of available patterns. This video is the first I've seen that really breaks down the rules of "3D printing by hand" that is the thing I absolutely LOVE about crochet and amigurumi. You've explained perfectly how this works, and provided the words and theory that help me see what I was consistently missing in my freehand process. I'm so very excited to integrate some of these ideas! Here's to (moderately) less frogging in my future! haha

  • @ErnestineSantiago
    @ErnestineSantiago Před 2 měsíci

    This is exactly why I live by the sayings and/or rules of.
    {‘Everything Happens for a reason’}
    Life will always give you exactly what you need,when you need it and are ready!
    I’ve been doodling on my own trying to figure out how to make my own crochet pattern’
    Just so happens that you popped up on the internet somewhere that you can take a class on crochet beginners and somehow it took me to facebook and this video!! You are truly a Gift for Me! So precisely explaining the basics blessings to you amazing person who truly doesn’t know how much of a treasure you are!

  • @herdogcyn156
    @herdogcyn156 Před rokem +13

    This was absolutely wonderful. You, girl, have a knack for teaching and even my crazy brain 'got it'. Thank you so much for putting these videos together. Yes, I'd love to see a part 3 with additional shaping and how you work your magic. Thanks again!

  • @Handmadebytinnu
    @Handmadebytinnu Před 3 měsíci +4

    First, I just wanted to THANK YOU for creating the detailed amigurumi designing videos as that’s exactly what I need to understand what stitches/numbers do and freehand patterns!!! I’m embarrassed to say this but my spatial awareness and drawing skills are nonexistent. I know I’m so close to fully understanding your videos but I’m still confused on the section breakdowns in rows where you have the circular drawings with top vs. bottom including notations. The other thing I am still unclear on are the clusters you mentioned in another video for shapes such as cube, triangle, circle, etc. Could you create videos clarifying these two aspects a bit more slowly for dummies like me please? I would be happy to compensate you for your time and efforts if there’s a custom Etsy listing for a video tutorial. If this is not feasible, I understand. Thank you for imparting your valuable knowledge to the crochet community especially for math “phobics” like me!😅😊🙌🏾

  • @heathero.7643
    @heathero.7643 Před 6 měsíci +2

    Would love a third video on short rows and when to/not to use them!

  • @TheYGElitist
    @TheYGElitist Před 14 dny

    I watch your videos every week, and I wasn’t quite sure until I watched these instructional videos but now I know, this is love. Your personality and knowledge just shines through the video, the admiration I have for you my darling 💕
    Keep up being you, cause that is almost perfection ✨
    And yes, my boyfriend is very aware at how awesome I find you, we even have an inside joke “so you did some crochet with your crush today, huh? 😏”

  • @nice-day.
    @nice-day. Před 27 dny

  • @stayshiny4775
    @stayshiny4775 Před rokem +4

    This was amazing! I honestly have crocheted in ages because I came across some patterns that just didn't work and I didn't know how to fix them. With this information I should be able to go back and make them no problem! Thank you!!! (Also I would love a part 3 if you're up for it. You explained things so well, and simplified some hard concepts in an easy to understand way)

  • @kelleyjohn8319
    @kelleyjohn8319 Před 6 měsíci +1

    This ignited my love for geometry! I just got a little confused with the changing starting points. I would really like to learn how to switch colours mid design!!! Your videos are super superrr helpful!! I think I am a fan now. :)

  • @GarnetChakra
    @GarnetChakra Před rokem +1

    This video is just what I needed since my first design has a curve in the belly section and I was confused on how the heck to replicate that I know beginner shapes like ovals, spheres and tubes

    i cannot put into words how helpful this video was!! ive felt so intimidated by pattern making, but now i cant wait to make my own! you explained everything beautifully, thank you for including so many visual aids (especially the chart at 1:40 , this was eye opening to see inc and dec laid out this way) thank you for making this video i really do hope you make more parts to this series!! 🧶💕😊

  • @TitiLili16
    @TitiLili16 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Thank you so much! I'd love a part 3 (and more!) Just a comment about raw 13 and 14 of the worm : the final counts are 15 and 18 stitches (not what's written in the top section). Somehow it's reassuring to see even experts can make small mistakes 😅 Thanks again for all your work ❤

  • @marthajburns
    @marthajburns Před rokem

    Thank you. You've given me exactly what I wanted. I've found some great tutorials on blogs for the following shapes done flat or in the round: squares, triangles, spheres, ovals, and tubes. They do the math, explain how to do it in general rather than just for one item, and show the charts. Not for curves. It is generally just: you can do it with increases and decreases, short rows, or stitches of different heights and now here is my finished item. True, but . . . . So yay you!

  • @Psyduck-wc8uf
    @Psyduck-wc8uf Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hi I've just sub recently this is the only video I've seen with different shapes. I've just started to learn to crochet about 6 months ago. I was having problems understanding the worm pattern from row 13. Only because I don't know how to create a new starting point. but your videos are really good thank you

  • @kittycatindabluehat
    @kittycatindabluehat Před 6 měsíci

    drawing each row and showing where to add the increases and decreases is so smart omg

  • @Marina-ig8wo
    @Marina-ig8wo Před rokem +1

  • @SarcasticService
    @SarcasticService Před rokem

    This is such a detailed breakdown, thank you so much. When you were originally talking about how just sc keeps it straight, and increases make it curve away, I had no idea what that really meant for the pattern. When you put the different views up and showed exactly what you were doing and how it affects the pattern, it became so clear! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

  • @obsidianagent
    @obsidianagent Před rokem +1

    Thank you! This makes so much sense to my brain, love the explanations! :D.
    I just finished my first guinea pig design!!!! And wehre mathing myself through it didnÄt work anymore, I even used your little circle notation. And now I am a happy owner of a pink crochet guinea pig, because I only ever use my pink yarn for learning, AND a pattern to make properly colored guinea pigs :D .

  • @Lory_D

  • @barbaraeckman2588
    @barbaraeckman2588 Před 6 měsíci

    Please please give us a Part 3! I’d love to see one that includes short rows, since I love the shaping on the naughty mouse! I’m currently gathering the courage to do my first original design, and I would like to have short rows in my toolbox. It’s so great of you to put so much time and effort into producing these “how tos”.

  • @fotofanscam
    @fotofanscam Před rokem

    This series of videos is absolutely incredible. Very informative, easy to follow, and interesting. I’ve learned so much and you are a treasure for this.
    I think you could make a lot of money if you found someone to develop an app for your notation system, so they can tap stitches on the diagram and set different notations, and the app will automatically make the next diagram based on which notations you used previous round, etc.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS🎉🎉🎉

  • @Albinojackrussel
    @Albinojackrussel Před rokem

    That graph of increases and knowing they're in increments of 15° is so valuable to me. I don't typically design but I wanted to make my partner a custom plushy to match something he already had, and I spent so long just trying to understand vaguely how to get the shape I wanted. That graph would have been so helpful

  • @littlemystery2544
    @littlemystery2544 Před 3 měsíci

    yesssssss please do a part three!!! you explain things in a way that helps me to understand them so much I can incooperate them in my own stuff! (in other words I understand why the pattern calles for xy&z and I'm going to try to incooperate some of that in a realy simple whale next week.) Idk how you do it but stuff makes more sence when you explain it lol...

    Thank you so much for this information. If I hadn’t have watched this, I don’t know if I’d ever be able to learn how to make my own designs. I’m horrible at math but you explained everything so well so that I could understand! One thing I found a little confusing was readjusting the starting points especially on the worm where you went back 2 stitches. I would absolutely love a part 3 and any other helpful information you could share! Your channel is by far my favorite crochet channel and I just love your personality. Thank you!

  • @nekkidnora
    @nekkidnora Před rokem

    It is fascinating to me how differently you arrive at your own patterns- I do a lot of freehanding shapes (because my daughter frequently requests weird shapes of me) and I'll plan them out on paper and all, but how I arrive at my geometric shapes is totally different- like, it's the same basic shapes in the end, but my mental roadmap to get there is wildly different. This is such a cool look into another crocheter's process!!!

  • @crocodileteeth6994
