This is great! The scary thing is, I just started crocheting about a week ago and already can relate. I've been loading up on supplies, got patterns on my phone, requests from family lined up, and already getting bothered when I get interrupted while I'm counting stitches. Send help! haha
The "Silence, I'm counting stitches!" resonates with my soul. My way of dealing with speaking husband/children is that I start to count aloud, louder and louder until they stop speaking and wait for me to finish the row.
Lol the struggle is real for sure but you gotta love it because each time you finish a product you get the feeling of success and satisfaction knowing you made something😊😊😊
I feel this whole video in my soul. I want that first box with the tiers. I recently started using a vinyl glove to crochet with - I cut the finger off and wear it on just my tension finger. I've been using this really rough yarn recently and was getting friction burn on my finger within the first hour.
I've recently been making a knitting pattern where counting to 4 caused a great many people's downfalls. To be fair, there was a bit more than just counting to 4 involved - every row was offset and the pattern was worked both on right side and wrong side rows.

The feeling you get when you lose count… and you forgot to put in a stitch placement pin thing… and you just sit and stare at ur work wondering where you went wrong
I used to crochet like a mad man. Only fluffy chunk blankets...but I never looked up ways to stop getting blisters and I procrastinate subscribing for a bit but you just earned my sub for showing me just to put scotch tape on my fingers so they don't basically get rug burn or whatever they call it... But like you're one of the most wholesome sweetest people! Thank you! ❤
If you ever think about starting crochet as a hobby, you have to ask yourself: - Am I able to count? - And more importantly: am I able to come to terms with the answer, which is no? :D
its not the counting, its keeping your yarn tension even so it all works as it should. Counting I can do, I'm used to keeping track of numbers of cattle in a herd, or strides between jumps(and which order the jumps go in) with horses... some reason yard befuddles me.
I'm thankful that I already knew before starting crochet that I'm TERRIBLE with numbers (hello dyscalculia) and one of the first things I bought was a very large stitch counter kit. I will routinely mark off stitches in groups of 10's so when I lose my count or confuse myself, it's easier to find my place. Any time a pattern is like "you will need 2 stitch markers" I'm grabbing a handful in different colors so I can color code if needed ^_^;;
You never actually know if you can really count until after you've had to crochet something where you suddenly have to recount in the middle of counting bc appaently you can forget a number right after you've counted to it
true, i had a starting row with 186 stitches on a project when i started and i remember re-counting that like 6 times 😂 i crochet at work and its...not easy when im getting intereupted a lot
We chrocheters go through that intence yarn collecting fase but then escalates to a full bin of unused yarns but we still buy more yarn. It seams uyen is about to enter that fase
I'm so terrible at keeping count that I have three different stich counters and I still just "read the stitches" 🤣 At least I usually catch mistakes before I need to frog a whole section 😅
Best trick I learned early on, especially for round stuff, is to just loop a small red tread in the first stitch of a row. If I lose count, I can just count back from that thread. Save me soooo many times
Why R u everywhere!? I just saw you comment on someone else's video. And I was like, " Yeah okay, that's casual. Then I saw you somewhere else and " HOW- " and now-
I bought a latch hook recently to repair some holes in a few shirts I have, but then I realized I could crochet with it! Other than weaving in some ends on my knits, I've never really crochet much. But then I began crocheting a lot recently with the latch hook, and it made it a lot easier for me to understand crocheting. I never thought I'd understand how to do a single crochet! But you look advanced in your crocheting abilities. Amazing collection you have!
I actually got more interested in starting crochet because of you❤and now i do it everyday and i even started selling them to my friends and relatives.😊😊😊The work is real but its fun, surprisingly though I never thought about using tape for my finger it always hurts after while, I will for sure be using that hack. 😅😅😅
As a fellow crocheter, happy to see your yarn stash grow! Before you know it, it will be 5 totes of yarn! As they say crocheting and collecting yarn are two different hobbies 😄😊
I started crocheting last year and I didn't realise that I'd end up buying yarns because "ooh it's pretty, I can use this for something later"... *Ignores the part where I stole half of my dad's office to store my yarn😅*
The fact that I saw the tackle box and immediately gasped and said I need it just proves your point 😂 I have a case for my hooks and I've been trying to figure out how to store my needles, so thank you for that! ❤
My husband won a nice tackle box at a raffle. He doesn’t fish, as he’s looking at it, he says: “this would work with your Crochet hooks and needles”. Changed my life!!! I love that man!! I love my Crocet box too😊
That ring is so smart I need one of those. Also, an easy way to keep track of the number of stitches is to use a safety pin to mark the first stitch of each round. I learned to crochet using Woobles and it comes with plastic safety pins and you would use that to mark the first stitch because I always lost count of how many stitches I made. It made it easy to count how many I already did by just counting back to the one with the safety pin
Yep! I use stitch markers for rounds and complex projects. Also if I'm doing a long row that calls for, say, 150 stitches per row, I use stitch markers at intervals on the foundation row so I know about how many I've done
Oh, honey! My grandmother crocheted, knitted, sewed, and quilted. She and my grandfather also ran a country store and gas station where they had a big ol’ pot belly stove in the back and the local men would come by to play dominoes while she and the local ladies would quilt. Then she’d typically gift each family member a new quilt at Christmas and sell the rest of those quilts for $75-$150. That was back in the 1970’s and they were incredibly intricate and beautiful quilts. I have no doubt they’d start at $1,500 now. Anyway, I digress! My point is, she had fabric, yarn, and thread in every nook and cranny of that old country house! I think my grandfather must have looked at it as long as she was happy, he was happy.
it is because they had much more simple patterns then today's world. I found that out while watching a lot of Just Vintage Crochet here on RUclips. (channel) highly recommend anyone who reads this comment to check it out. Quilting is a simple thing that doesn't needs counting as much as crochet does. Doing quilts is kind of like doing a puzzle or something of that sort. picking out what colors to use, how to sew them and what fun designs you can come up with. definitely is something fun to do in general. ❤
Wow! Those people knew beauty and quality when they saw it! If you translate that $75-100 into today's money, your grandmother was charging $589-1177 per quilt. Go Grandma! 🙌🏾
The tape under the crochet ring is so smart, I bought that exact same one and gave up on it immediately bc of how it made the yarn rub against my finger
I knit and crochet, and because of the way I hold the needles/hook and tension the yarn with my right hand I have a callous on my right top middle finger knuckle. When I've been doing a lot or using rough yarn I end up either using a long leather thimble or padding the area with tissue and bandage tape. Ouch! (I also bought the rings but tbh they probably work better for people who haven't been doing it differently for 8 years already)
@@HaeRosae I use bandage tape/"paper medical tape" because that's what I have on hand. It sticks well to itself but not much else. You can get it at your local CVS/RITEaid or what ever if you are in the US
Hahahaha reminds me of my bf the first time he tried talking to me while counting stitches. I just put my finger to his lips as he was talking and went "shhhh counting stitches. Give me a minute" nicely without stopping my counting. He was amused, waited til I was done, then talked to me. He's learned to tell when I'm counting and will have a 'start and stop' conversation with me while I crochet just so I don't lose my count. 😂
Also, I purposefully bought a raised king bed 14” off the floor bc I can fit 8-16 of those plastic containers under my bed. lol. It depends on the sizes I place under it. My pups are not amused bc they like to lie under there too. Cute video. Glad I found ur channel.

@@kaylizzie7890 Yes, I'm working on that now, I created two designs, for the option of having a graphic, as well as for our knitting friends. I think I should have it ready in about 3 hours.
This is why I end up doing very basic crochet half the time - with pattern projects it truly is like Nicholas Cage going after the Declaration in National Treasure 😅
For me it’s gotten to point where I’m afraid of starting a project because…once I start crocheting I seriously cannot stop, and therefore I cannot do any other chore if my project is not complete 😅
This is so me!!!!! I’ve only been crocheting around 3 months and am obsessed!!! My daughter started a few weeks ahead of me and says it’s so relaxing. She makes big blankets and things with large hooks. Meanwhile, I’m making various flowers and detailed hearts. 😂😂😂 The stitch counts are so important!! 😁🌸💜🩷🌺
I have been crocheting since I was 8 (34 now) and never have seen someone put tape on their finger. It's brilliant. Also, couple years after we got married my husband gave me a ring meant for D&D to help me keep track of rows while crocheting. One of the most thoughtful gifts he's ever given me.
This is the best and most wholseome channel ever 😂 I've said it before and I'll say it again, you never know what you're getting but it's always wholesome
LOL 😂 even my grandma told my brother to "shoosh! She's counting stitches!" when he tried to talk to me at the dinimg table recently when i was working on a project! She, her mom, my mom, and i are all sewists and crocheters...i recently picked up knitting 👍
Same, but knitting. Got my interchangeable needles, cable needles, DPNs, stitch markers, yarn holder, supply organizer, row counter, etc. Definitely don’t interrupt me when I’m counting stitches on a complicated lace pattern!
Loll this is me with nail polish, started as a hobby but I ended up with 3 boxes of nail polishes, various brushes and metal tips, 3 different nail files, a UV lamp, and a pinterest board with hundreds of nail art inspo 😂😂
Even attempting to learn to crochet for the first time was (is) so frustrating. The yarn keeps slipping. BUT - I noticed she put that ring on her finger to help hold / keep the yarn in place. Simple, yet brilliant! 👍👍 😂
First time I was crocheting, I did the counting. But after two or three rows, I guess it's okay to bet on my instincts. Untill it finished and I realised that I messed it up 😂😂😂😂😂
I count at the end of a row/round at least. I still mess up sometimes. Then I do mental calculations of "can I fix/fudge this in the next row, or should I frog".
Why is it no one wants to talk to me all day, but when I'm crocheting and counting stitches everyone wants to talk to me. 😂
Cuz it's the right time to obviously...the best time to talk is when they're counting stitches 😂
I have the feeling I can make so many parallels to gaming xD
It's the Same for me... But with Reading. Husband is minding His own Business until i Open a book 😂
My husband does that to me. He'll be in his own world for hours but the minute I sit down to sew, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.
It can't be on purpose though right?
Yes!!!!!!!!!! My son has learned to say "when you come to a natural stopping point ....." when he needs to talk to me while I'm knitting.
Ha ha. I’m the same. You need one of those mugs that says “questions asked while counting stitches will be answered with louder counting”.😂
Yes! I want one of those myself. 🤣😂
yes,! 😂😂😂😂
I like that..This should apply to any task where deep concentration is needed😂
Good one

Yes!!! Another crocheter!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕 I’ve been crocheting for 35 years and it’s still my favorite thing to do!
Me, too!!! 😂😂😂
This is why I end up doing very basic crochet half the time - with pattern projects it truly is like Nicholas Cage going after the Declaration in National Treasure 😅
I have always done very basic stitches and not really had to count at all. I've made 2 jerseys, a hat and a circular rug.
"Silent! I'm counting stitches!!" THAT is a MOOD.
"I'm counting stitches!" That's way too relatable
For me it’s gotten to point where I’m afraid of starting a project because…once I start crocheting I seriously cannot stop, and therefore I cannot do any other chore if my project is not complete 😅
This is so me!!!!! I’ve only been crocheting around 3 months and am obsessed!!! My daughter started a few weeks ahead of me and says it’s so relaxing. She makes big blankets and things with large hooks. Meanwhile, I’m making various flowers and detailed hearts. 😂😂😂 The stitch counts are so important!! 😁🌸💜🩷🌺
"Silence! Im counting stiches!"
All crocheters can relate lol 😂
The “Silent! I’m counting stitches!” 😂so true!
I started crochet this year and sometimes I can't keep count of stitches because my own inner voice interrupts me 😂
"SILENCE, I'M COUNTING STICHES!" That is true pain right there. XD
I have been crocheting since I was 8 (34 now) and never have seen someone put tape on their finger. It's brilliant.
Also, couple years after we got married my husband gave me a ring meant for D&D to help me keep track of rows while crocheting. One of the most thoughtful gifts he's ever given me.
I just started crocheting again and it is so fun!! I’m working on a blanket for my daughter and I’m 4 rows in.
This is the best and most wholseome channel ever 😂 I've said it before and I'll say it again, you never know what you're getting but it's always wholesome
LOL 😂 even my grandma told my brother to "shoosh! She's counting stitches!" when he tried to talk to me at the dinimg table recently when i was working on a project! She, her mom, my mom, and i are all sewists and crocheters...i recently picked up knitting 👍
Got me at "silent, I'm counting stiches" 😂😂😂
That "silent I'm counting stitches" was so relateble😂
THE COUNTING!! 😂😂 oh, my soul felt so seen 🤣
Expected to see German Boyfriend encased in a crochet cocoon.
Yes! This would be so funny 😂
Naw it‘s so lovely how you organised your crocheting equipment. I just use the same hook for every project because I‘m too lazy to buy other ones XD
The " SHH IM COUNTING STICHES!"
Is so relatable 😂
Same, but knitting. Got my interchangeable needles, cable needles, DPNs, stitch markers, yarn holder, supply organizer, row counter, etc. Definitely don’t interrupt me when I’m counting stitches on a complicated lace pattern!
Loll this is me with nail polish, started as a hobby but I ended up with 3 boxes of nail polishes, various brushes and metal tips, 3 different nail files, a UV lamp, and a pinterest board with hundreds of nail art inspo 😂😂
Literally me while painting, like people say it relieves stress but it make me so stressed and concern about the end result😭
I HAVE THE RING TOO!! Though I use it for knitting😅 I haven't started on crocheing yet because I am scared it'll get out of hand😂
Any hobby is basically a casual activity intensified 😊
LMFAO FINALLY A RELATABLE CROCHET SHORT!!!! 😂🎉 THANK YOU UYEN!!!!!!
She's great!!! "Quiet! I'm counting stitches!!" LOL
I am loving that supplies box!! ❤❤ And yes, everyone needs to leave me alone when I’m counting stitches. 😂
I left my main hook at my parents house and I'm too proud to ask them to send it to me, so I've been using a chopstick.
😂🤣
Yes! I'm so happy you found that cool hobby!
I LOVE crocheting!❤😂
Even attempting to learn to crochet for the first time was (is) so frustrating. The yarn keeps slipping. BUT - I noticed she put that ring on her finger to help hold / keep the yarn in place. Simple, yet brilliant! 👍👍 😂
that serious angry face of yours always gets me😭😭
Uyen is a crocheting pro now 😂
I'm learning to crochet still and counting the stitches is always the hardest part because sometimes I mess up and have to restart that entire row LOL
“Shhhh! I’m counting” is absolutely meeee!
Yes, I know the frustration!😂 I always get interrupted especially when I'm counting stitches.😂😂😂
First time I was crocheting, I did the counting. But after two or three rows, I guess it's okay to bet on my instincts. Untill it finished and I realised that I messed it up 😂😂😂😂😂
I count at the end of a row/round at least. I still mess up sometimes. Then I do mental calculations of "can I fix/fudge this in the next row, or should I frog".
