Thank you! Delighted you like the demo - and found it soothing - thank you! 😊

@@migueloros891 Working on these small gloves I wouldn't use a hoop. Maybe on some bigger projects, but in general I prefer not to use a hoop on knitwear - I can see the way the fabric sits better without 👍

@@isharobbie4960 oh I'm delighted to hear that - thanks!

@@TheNemo1010 thank you so much for watching! I'm delighted 😊

@@louisaflaxman2861 when you make stitches together, you're holding back the last part of each stitch, before finishing both together. In the case of 2hdcTog = yarn over, insert hook and draw up a loop (3loops), then yarn over again, insert hook and draw up a loop (5loops), then yarn over and draw through all 5 loops. General this would take place over 2 separate stitches (to decrease) but of course it depends on the pattern. I hope that helps?

@@louisaflaxman2861 ah that's so good to hear, thank you! I'm thrilled to know it's helped you enjoy crochet. You've made my day!

@@piggysister01 that's a great question! There are a few ways to tell if it's an American pattern. First of all, if you see SC, then it's American. That means Single Crochet which we don't have in the UK. Then, if it says "Ch3 (counts as first dc)" it's also American. In the UK, Ch3 would count as a treble. Also, in American crochet terms, they tend to write "slip st" for a slip stitch. In the UK we would write ss, although this might not be as reliable a guide as the other two ways above. Thanks for such a great question! USA terms converted into UK terms sc = double crochet dc = treble hdc = half treble crochet tr = double treble

@@piggysister01 Also, I have a video of the same stitches in USA terms so that you can see and here them in the way you're used to ruclips.net/video/-Bs8Fbcu5HU/видео.htmlsi=6VbEfkC6tPPnAhZV Hope that helps!

@@rayanearaujo52 oh I hope it helps you make your project. Happy crocheting!

@@zulalyles6096 ah I know it's tricky to manage so many twizzles at once! A matter of practice. An alternative to the magic ring is to Ch4 and join with a slip stitch to firm a ring, then work over the tail as you go. At the end you can pull the tail and the ring closes. Not quite as neat but crochet should be fun above all! Thanks for watching ☺️🙏

@@sabrinarojas4052 Hi Sabrina, double knitting yarn is Light#3 in the US. I hope that helps!

@@MartaMcGillivray thanks very much for saying so Marta, I hope you find it useful 😃

Hi, it would depend on the particular pattern, but in this case I started with: Ch4 (counts as first stitch and 1chain), skip next stitch, work 1cluster into the next stitch (= 3rd stitch along), *ch1, skip next st, 1Cl into next stitch; repeat from * across, ending with skip1, ch1, 1tr into last stitch. NB. tr is UK terms. In USA terms that would be 1dc On every other row I would work a row of double crochets (= US single crochets) as follows: Ch1(does not count as st), 1dc into very first st, *1dc into next ch1-space, 1dc into top of next Cluster; rep from * to end, ending with 1dc into 3rd of beg-4ch. The pattern is worked over an odd number of stitches. I hope this helps

@@halfpintmcbee2690 oh thanks for adding those in! I'm sure other learners will be so grateful! ☺️🙏

Ah that's great to hear Emma - thank you! Onwards and upwards!

Ah thank you! I'm delighted to know it's helping! 🙏😊

Yes you're right about that. Hopefully this method will help you enjoy crochet more. Crochet is also handy to embellish your knitwear, add detail around cuffs or to add a button band etc. let me know how it works out for you!

Well I’ve been crocheting very happily now for the past month. This has been a game changer. I’m thrilled. I find crocheting tend to go much faster than knitting so I can churn out many more baby hats for donation. Thank you so much for showing us how.

@@knittingknut oh I'm thrilled to hear this! Well done for trying it. Amazing how one video can change everything. Woohoo!! 🙌

Hello! I'm working into a row of UKdc. The row before that was a row of UKtr. Thanks for watching 🙏

Hope it helps Linda!

Oh I'm delighted to hear that Regina - thanks so much for your feedback! 🙏 Happy crocheting! X

Whatever keeps you crocheting Sally! Whatever it takes! Such a beautiful skill. Thank you for crocheting! xx

Ah I'm so glad to hear that, thank you! And yes, try to stick to just one terminology while you're learning the stitches. Then suddenly it'll all click! Keep in touch! And thanks again for your feedback. Very encouraging 🙏❤️

Thanks so much Trisha! I'm glad you like the video. I love embroidery - in fact, I must do more for spring. Happy crafting!

I hope it was useful Rosaline! Thanks for your comment 🙏

Oh I'm delighted to hear that! It'll make a lovely scarf. May I recommend you make it longways - I have a feeling it might drape better. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thanks very much Wendy! I hope some of them are useful! I appreciate your subscription!

Ohh your demos are amazing, you're explanations are easy to understand, & it's really lovely how you show the stitch more then once!❤ would it be alright if I shared your video on fb? If you'd prefer not I understand 😊😊 thank you!!

@@wendygale4808 thank you! Yes, feel free to share 🌟

Hi Jayde, a slip stitch is the same in both UK and US terms. The US single crochet is called double crochet in the UK

Thank you! I hope it helps!

Hi Samira, thank you. The gloves are crocheted using Waistcoat Stitch so there's no need to cast off. You can watch the video tutorial for Waistcoat Stitch here ruclips.net/video/d7vCkBZYBrI/видео.htmlsi=HkDfuNj1B5UCXzmP I hope that helps!

Thank you very much.

My pleasure! Hope it helps!

Thanks Nancy! I chained 166 with a G6/4mm crochet hook using approx 200g of 4ply/sport weight yarn in assorted colours. Hope you give it a go! You can find the written pattern for the Train Tracks Scarf on my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1169469621/rainbow-tracks-scarf-easy-crochet?click_key=89bdcc6e2abefb25bfc414672b23e43d825c0055%3A1169469621&click_sum=a34e62e2&ref=shop_home_active_16&pro=1&sts=1

Thanks so much Terri! I confess I'm more keen on crochet than I am on editing, which is hopefully a forgivable sin!! Thanks for watching! Nina x

I'm so glad it helps Virginia! Thanks for checking in! N x

Hi Yolanda, do you mean on the Magical Mesh Scarf? I'm sorry I don't have a video tutorial for that. If you are finding it tricky I have good alternative. Let me know how you're getting on via email info@nancysaid.com and I'll help you as much as I can. Thanks! Nina x

You're very welcome! I hope you give it a go! Happy embroidering!

Do you crochet like this video then Susan? Whatever gets you to the end result!

@@nancysaid9193 Hi Nancy, yes, I'm a visual learner so when I found it difficult to follow the written pattern I searched here because I knew you would have my answer 😊 Once I followed you it all became so much easier for me. Have you ever thought of making a whole instructional film that's only available to your pattern purchasing customers? I bet you would would gain so many more buyers knowing there's a whole visual aid too. There's a lot of us out here ... 🤓

@@SusanRoseArt it's a great idea Susan and I'd love to. It's just that video making is a while different discipline and I haven't found a way to speed up the process yet. I add video links inside many of my patterns to help with any tricky parts, and try to keep the rest of the pattern as easy as possible. Usually once you get over the first few rows, you can find a rhythm. Thank you so very much for all your interest and this excellent idea. You never know, you might have got me thinking....! I appreciate you!

You're very welcome Rosemary! I hope it opens new doors for you!

Thanks Sarah! Sadly not my cat though. This is Houdini. He's really clever and affectionate. I wanted to take him home!

Haha! 😁👌❤

Thanks Susan. Hope you find somewhere to add it to!

Thanks so much @momscat6! I'm glad you like them!

Great idea! I did the same on a store-bought vest top, using fine mohair and pearls. It turned out well. I hope it still fits me this year...! Happy embroidering! Thanks for your comment. I remember Jenny Bristow!

Thanks Lavelda! Nice and colourful to bring us joy!
