    Yallllll I did ittttt after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage

      Bahaha I'm researching into crochet, saw this comment and laughed out loud. Very familiar with the concept of speaking to inanimate objects. I work in IT, do it with computers all the time, so speaking to yarn will be easy!

    To anyone reading this, it gets easier!!!
    I practiced tying a slip knot about 30 times. And I tried chaining 10 about 15 times. It does get easier! At first my yarn was too tight and then too loose. Then I couldn't work out how to hold the yarn. I finally got it all working smoothly... only to forget how to yarn over only a few hours later!
    It's now been a few days and things are becoming familiar. I've done maybe 20 minutes of practice every day and it's working! And I'm enjoying it! It needs patience but so much fun when you make progress!
    This video is magical, thank you soooooo much!

  • @hortiek4604
    @hortiek4604 Год назад +9

    Have been crocheting for 30+ years. Great video! She shows beginners how to wrap the yarn around their little and pointer fingers! Notice that her little finger opens and closes a little bit sometimes. The little finger controls the flow of yarn to either; remain the same, slow down, or speed up. If you think you’re crocheting too loosely tighten up your little finger a bit. If you think you’re crocheting too tightly, open your little finger a bit and relax your shoulders. An indentation on your pointy finger means you’re either crocheting too tightly or your yarn is rough/scratchy.

    I just found out that I am going to be a Grandma in late April 2021.
    So I want to start making blankets and clothes for my grandchild. Yeah!.
    We knitted and crocheted back when I was a girl in grade school. We made items, mainly blankets, some girls in the older grades made socks and sweaters, we sent it off to the War effort in Vietnam.
    I did make a few items for my children when they were babies, but that was over 45 years ago now.
    So I needed to brush up on the techniques.
    This internet and RUclips channel is really something,, it's been especially wonderful during this Global pandemic.

    Just to put this out there, because I made a silly mistake and I suppose others might make the same:
    Make sure you make your slip knot the right way round. I did it the wrong way, which made it tighten when I pulled on the short end and it was nearly impossible to get past that first stitch...

    • @saskia9819

      @Roozyj 4 года назад +7

      @Hannat Balogun I assume you figured it out by now, but you gotta make the loop with the other end of the yarn. I don't know by heart which side, so I keep messing it up but then I can correct myself xD But like, if you make a loop with a short end and a long end (where the rest of the yarn is), you gotta put another loop through it and you can make that loop with either the long side or the short side and one of them is correct xD

    Just finished my first crochet scarf! Bella Coco is a fantastic teacher. Have been a knitter for many years. I fly a lot and wanted to give crochet a go. Crochet hook versus 2 long knitting needles. May 2024

      Hope it's going well! It's a great strategy to have something positive to do when cutting out something negative.

      Hey I'm getting sober this year as well! How is it going for you? I'm thinking about buying some yarn and trying this crocheting thing. Would be nice to have something to do at the couch.
