Trying Weird Crochet Tools So You Don't Have To (PART TWO!)
ruclips.net/video/HZhytSRWXwo/видео.html
hii!
The hook with the stitch counter could be great for when you chain for a blanket. Imagine needing to crochet 300 stitches, so crochet 10 stitches, then hit the button. So you only hit the button 30 times, and you can make sure you don't loose track of where you are.
I personally couldn't see me pressing that button for every stitch, but counting by 5 or 10 sounds super helpful
I’m doing a temperature blanket and did 250 stitches. I placed a stitch marker every 20 then 10 because thats the amount I had lol but yeah same concept! Great idea!
I use stitch markers to keep track of my stitches too.
I am a self taught crocheter, (with the help of the internet) and never was taught how to hold the yarn or hook, but as you were explaining how your grandma taught you to hold your yarn, I looked down (I was in the middle of crocheting) and realized that’s the exact way I instinctively hold my yarn 😅🩵
I ended up holding it differently than the person who taught me initially (it was like a half hour of them teaching me to chain and single crochet lmao), and it turns out a lot of people hold it the same way I do 😂
I'm self taught to lol
Self taught and yes I hold it like that
I taught myself how to crochet back in the 80s when RUclips didn't exist. I just picked up the yarn and copied what I saw my mom doing because she absolutely refused to teach me how. But I never held my yarn the way she did, or like the lady in the video holds hers, I hold my totally different...lol I used to resent my mother for being that selfish of a person (she's a Boomer...lol) but the fact that my skills surpass hers many times over, I'm glad I didn't learn from her...lol
@@FujishimaAkiko I love that for you!
I think the yarn spinner is probably the only one I would use. Thank you for the demonstration and your honest opinion.
The yarn spinner is absolutely my favorite and the one I’ll use the most! Thanks for watching!
I use yarn bowls, but the idea of not having to ball up the yarn by hand and just using the magnet stick sounds like a dream.
i just bought a yarn spinner/baller thing and its pretty good but takes a while to make the cakes. now im like why didnt i find the magnetic spinner sooner!
Honestly, the little finger stitch counter is my favorite thing. I watch a lot of tv and listen to music a lot when crocheting, which makes me loose my place. So after every stitch, my brain and thumb just automatically hits the little button to count
For the wooden yarn holder, I found if you move your skein up the holding stick a little so its not fully flat on the base of it, it stops most of the small getting stuck moments and just keeps going smoothly!
The little “mini watch” stitch counter comes in very handy for amigurumi or similarly complicated patterns. I put it on the same finger you did and count each stitch, and I love it because I’m already having to pay close attention to which stitch I’m on, so I can’t get in a mindless flow.
I use mine all the time for amigurumi. I would never know what round I'm on without it.
Yes, I love mine for amigurumi!(currently using it as I watch the video and crochet)
As a muslim they are used to count your prayers so Yh this is so cool watching her try using it Cus I have used them my whole life
“It was not pretty. Well- I mean the peacock was pretty.” 🤣 that made me laugh so hard
🦚🦚🦚
She got me, too! 😂
Instead of yarn bowl or spinner I just do a center pull. It sometimes gets tangled and I have to pull, but it never rolls away and works super easy
I feel like every time I do that I get yarn barfs 😂
My thoughts exactly. The spinner is a pretty object, but it's designed for outside pull
@@HollyAuna Everybody gets yarn barf with centre-pull; it is just one of those things. You pull out the yarn barf, use it up, and then you've got your centre-pull going.
I often use a yarn bowl *with* centre-pull, because the yarn bowl is still holding the ball in place nicely, which can be helpful if the ball is tight and needs more tugging to get the yarn out.
@@HollyAuna yarn barf sounds so much better, i usually call it “prolapsing the yarnussy” 😭😭
Came back to add a new comment. I ordered the yarn spinner last night. It came today and I absolutely love it. My cat keeps hitting it when it spins but I love not pulling.
Did you buy the exact same one? But if you did, where did you buy it bc i love it so much but i can't seem to find it, lol 😂
@@jasminemarkey6996 hey love, you can find the excact yarn spinner in the description box of this video!. Its the first link ☺️.
@@peachyangel7877 omg thank you soo much 😂
My mom used to walk and knit! I was the designated yarn bag carrier 😂
Omgosh that’s amazing!!!
I'm a crochet walker, too. I just have the yarn in a bag and use the center pull. It has to be a pattern I can just keep banging out without too much counting or thinking, like a granny, that sort of thing. LOL, the looks I get while waiting in lines doing this are hilarious.
My daughter kept stealing my hoodies. I found out it was because she found the pocket perfect for holding a center pull skein so she could walk and crochet
@@MamaMonsterPridewait, she’s a genius
Ok the walk and crochet, theres something fabulous about putting my yarn on a leash. 😂😂😂 i usually use huge skeins that would never work for that but i really want one now.
Use the center pull and a bag. It works well that way.
For a yarn bowl I use a large metal ikea bowl (BLANDA BLANK). It doesn't have the little cutout to feed the yarn through, but you don't really need that. I just set it on the floor below me while I sit on the couch and crochet. The sides are smooth so the yarn unravels super easy, it's heavy so it doesn't tip or move, and it keeps the skein from running away.
I also use a metal bowl to hold my yarn. I use a medium binder clip on the side and slip the yarn through the metal loop handles. It's super handy to stow my hook and project I'm working on.
I saw someone make a yarn bowl out of a hat box. They just made a hole in the lid of the box and put a washer inside the hole.
Now they can put the yarn inside the box, pull a thread through the hole, and put the lid back on to keep the yarn from getting dust on it.
I won’t do a push up for every like this comment gets
Me too 😂
I'm a vegan artist!!! Subscribe
Hey!@@HollyAuna
Couch potatoes unite
just a reminder that you have 86 pushups to not do!!
With the last item, the wrist spinner, put the skein on in the other direction so it creates a better pulling tension. I bet it will not tangle as often!
I have one of the wooden yarn spinners. It is fantastic. I love it. I used to do center pull, but the spinner is so much better. I found that cotton yarn skeins tend to lose their shape and squish down (the same way the 2nd skein you tried on it did), which then makes it catch and not spin freely. So what I do is wind it into a cake and it works perfectly.
I love the row counters. I use mine all the time. Also, my brother was attacked by a peacock when he was younger, so he also does not like them.
ohmygosh you’re driving me crazy with the rings LOL I have odd joints in my fingers so it’s very difficult for me to keep correct tension (it’s why it took me years to learn) but I found adjustable crystal rings and used them to help and they are a GAME CHANGER!! You don’t have to get crochet specific rings, MANY places sell them labeled as adjustable rings! and if they’re too big (like in the video) you can squeeze them tighter! easy peasy:)
A crochet spinner has been an absolute game changer for me! My partner 3d printed one from a free stl, I take it everywhere with me because it’s made crocheting outside the house so accessible to me. I do rewind my yarn into cakes for it. But I can not recommend it enough for people who want to crochet at the coffee shop, at work, today my partner went to the driving range and I sat and used my spinner and crocheted while I watched him. 10/10 can not recommend enough
I love this video idea because I’ve never seen any of these products
And I love how Tilly is in every video somehow 😂❤
Tilly is literally sitting in my lap right now and I have a good feeling she’s going to be in most of the videos to come lol
I have the finger counter and I use it for counting my rows and I love mine. I think I would use all the products except that yarn bowl thing. I really want that adorable walk around crochet holder. This will have to be my late Mothers Day gift to myself.
That yarn spinner is a must have for me.
I am a pencil holder BUT i can't part with both of my grandmas crochet hooks for that electric hook. I inherited all their crochet supplies, patterns and yarn when they passed away.
For the ring counter I have a package of 2 from my maternal grandma's crochet stuff I inherited and i use it on my middle finger on my left hand and I use it to count rows for me when I'm making baby blankets and plushies. Especially the plushies because the stitch counts change almost every row and I lose track of the rows easily.
I've got too much of a tight tension to use those crochet rings.
Middle finger of the left hand, same for me! I have a truly terrible working memory, so I do need to use it to count every stitch, and that's how I got comfortable with it.
I'm kind of new to crochet (I can make a simple blanket but I'm only just starting to learn to read a pattern). However I've been knitting for more than 50 years. I got one of those ring counters about a year ago and love it! It's great for counting rows. Not sure if I'll use it for crochet but for knitting it's a game changer
When I was at Disney I used that final surprise hack and I used a plastic hook, since the alarms would beep at me with my metal ergonomic ones. It was *awesome*
Oh my gosh, what a good hack!
With the walking thingy, and you're on you're on the treadmill,,,well you are working those arms at the same time! So, hey,,,you're getting a two for one workout! Thanks for sharing these!!
I have never seen these crochet items before. I loved this video SO MUCH. Thank you. Please do this again.
I really want to I’m looking for more weird crochet finds :) :)
You changed my knitting life..after 60 years ! I adore the yarn spinner with the cakes used from outside 10 out of 10. THANKS
The yarn spinner is hands down the best knitting gadget I've ever bought. Put off because felt it was unnecessary but with a dog who loves yarn balls its needed.
I had a nice ceramic yarn bowl that I loved. Cat broke it by pushing it off the table. The wood one I have is nice but some yarns stick. The yarn spinner looks great.
Of COURSE the cat pushed the yarn bowl off the table!!!
Too much time & attention NOT dedicated to Kitty!!! 😄
I NEED that first product. The yarn spinner... Omg. I have 4 cats, one of them absolutely LOVES to grab my yarn ball and run around the house with it. That spinner would be amazing
Did you get the link to work? It's giving me an error
When I used a similar one, I only clicked it every 10 stitches. It was helpful and I didn’t change how I held my hand.
LOL I want to try the last one. Crocheting while walking sounds awesome😅
Hi I 'm 11 year old I am about to start crocheting I had no idea how to crochet and your video's really help
I wrote this to tell you thank you
I wrote this in this video because I forgot to write 😅
You're fantastic. What a lovely crocheter
I use a ziplock bag and cut a hole in a corner and thread the yarn through works great.
Oh wow, that's so smart! I need to try this, thanks for sharing 😊
I love my crochet finger counter! I use it for amigurumi for every, "3sc and inc do 6 times" or whatever I count each 3sc increase as 1 and then i know how many I've done. Sometimes I'll wear 2 (or set the 2nd one next to me) one for rows, one for stitches.
My mom got me some crochet rings for my birthday and its amazinggg. I typically hold the yarn in between my pointer and middle finger so my hand cramps up after awhile. The rings are a life changer. Ive tried holding my yarn other ways, but they are not comfy on my hands. The rings are also so cute so its a win-win ❤😊
Off topic comment here - I love the shroom wall paper behind you. 😄
We love off topic here 😂 🍄it’s a super easy peel and stick renter friendly paper from Amazon actually!!!!! amzn.to/3wlmepw
I think that the lighted hook set would be great when using dark yarn . Wish I had one right now.
I found that it really wasn't that great forme bc the light is at the bottom of the hook. I think it would be more useful if the head would light up so you could see the stitch, especially when working with dark yarn. 🤔
i use 2 vases for my crocheting, 1 tall one for bigger skeins and a lower chonky one for cakes. work perfectly!
I am an absolute beginner at crochet and I am really struggling with tension. I just bought the crochet rings so hopefully that will help. I’m learning so I can make myself bandannas and whenever my friend has a kid I can make it a blanket 😊 all I’ve made so far is swatches but I’m… hooked lmfao. I’m cycling between my OG hobby of cross stitch and this new hobby of crochet. Wish me luck y’all!
crochet and cross stitch pair together really well :) i love seeing projects where people combine them! its pretty popular for pillows :)
I used the same orange cotton to make goldfish for my cats and hid cat nip in the stuffing 😊
I have the hook with the stitch counter and it lights up, it’s so useful and I literally love it so much for travel crocheting, crocheting in bed, or even with dark yarn!!
Tilly is sooo cute!! These all seem sooo cool! Thanks for trying them for us ❤
Tilly is curled up in my lap right now 😭🧶😻
I love my counting hook. I don't really count the stitches, but the rows. It's so useful for counting rows. AND I LOVE THE LIGHT it comes with too!
Thanks for the tip with the make up blender. Work as a activity person in a nursing home this will be good for my group again thank you 😊
I love the wall paper behind you! The whole room looks so cozy to crochet in!
Thank you for the realistic set up with the yarn holder.
Really enjoyed this video. There were products I’ve been curious about. The yarn spinners have been on my list. The ring counters, I’ve tried and was disappointed. Instead, I use this silicone “pop it” toy that has numbers up to 100. It works amazing for smaller projects like amigurumi. I have another that goes to 30. I also have a clickable counter for knitting that goes to 100. Those two methods are my favorite. I actually have a ring that I love. It’s bendable and sized for plus size fingers. I love it and it has made my tension more consistent with my amigurumi. I love the hooks. I think I have the same set. The square thing, I haven’t ordered because it seemed flimsy to me. Anyways, thanks for the video! Looking forward to more of this type of video in future! 🧶💜
For the yarn caddy (walking yarn holder) you can put a cake of yarn that is larger than the base and it holds it just fine. My husband has 3D printed a few for me. I use mine all the time.
I agree with you on the magnetic yarn holder. It is my all time favorite.
would love for this to be a series !!
I use a center pull yarn ball. Love it.
I've been looking at the wrist holder thing for a while. Thanks for doing this video. 🥰
The row counting ring is something I use All The Time when following a pattern. I absolutely love it❤
I love that you did these reviews. Thank you so much.
Based on your opinions I definitely should rush and buy the wood yarn spinner. I’m so pleased to see how strong the magnetic 🧲 part holds ❤
I just started using a yarn bowl and personally I love it. I even like hand winding the yarn
the last one spins really well if you hook it above you! mine came with a hook. the yarn spinning strap is literally my favorite yarn tool ever. i also to hook to my purse while im at appointments. & in hospitals/dialysis (im a frequent flier) ill hook it to iv poles and it spins perfectly. Youve definitely pushed me to get a wooden magnet one for at home!
I have a wrist spinner for crochet thread, and it's a game changer. I just didn't realize larger ones existed for heavier yarn.
Thank you for the last tip! My hand often hurts so I'll give it a try. Greetings from Austria!💜💜💜💜💜
The yarn magnet thing you reviewed was so interesting, I bought myself one, and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased for my crocheting!
I love the digital row counter. I use it on the hand that holds the crochet hook on my ring vinger
My last cat was named Tilly. She was a tabby with no white. The best cat ever.
I have the lighted crochet hook and my tips used to fall off all the time until I actually used the wrench and got them to snap into place. They never fell off again LOL It's one of my favorites because it fits my hand better than the standard hooks do, and the light is super handy. It's so much more comfortable for me to use that I tend to default to it now. I can't see using the stitch counter one, I'd forget to click after each stitch LOL
I would love the yarn holder that you like even the travel one. I also love the little finger yarn row counter,I use that every time I crochet. Thanks for reviewing everything and giving your opinion. Hugs
I have so so many of those little counters that look like watches. I put it on my left thumb (I’m right handed) that holds my work and I have gotten fast at tapping it with my other thumb after every row. (I don’t use it for stitches) and it’s so helpful for stuffed animals!
The way you hold your yarn is how my grandma taught me to hold mine, many years ago.
I have the finger row counter. It is really helpful.
Oh for the crochet hook that counts stitches I don't think it's a necessity. I personally use a tally counter app in my phone. It's has a green logo. Anyways it allowes me to create groups of items (I have one for all my projects) and I can rename each counter as I want. Change the incrementation (if I want it to move up by two as I'm maybe counting stitches in two) you can also turn it into a percentage tracker and even set limits on it. It works great because I can keep track of everything.
Can you share a little more about the tally app that you use? I’m working with a pattern and I’m always either missing a stitch or adding too many 😭
I use a crochet ring that has numbers on it and you twist it to count rows. Knitter’s Pride makes it. I got it off Amazon. Best tool I’ve ever used. It’s so easy to use. I put it on my thumb.
I crocheted my yarn bowl and I love it. ❤
did you use a pattern for it? :)
@@conan4real I did but I modified it because my yarn was super chunky. It was from Hobbii. I'll look for the name.
The pattern is called "Ribbon baskets". I made mine in Oct 2023 so not sure if the pattern is still available. It was basic stitches, magic ring, single crochet, long single crochet and using back loops. I used a 10.0mm hook with Bernat Plush big yarn in the color after dark to start the bottom. When I got to the sides I moved up to a 11.5mm hook. I added plastic canvas to the bottom and sides to give it sturdiness. It ended up with a circumference of 13in but I reduced rows and stitch count to keep it manageable. Now I am using another modified version of it to make a blanket basket with Hobbii Ribbon yarn.
@@ali_b_lush2 wow thank you so much for the information!!!💛 i really appreciate it :)
@@conan4real glad to help 😊🧶💖
I'm so glad you did the yarn holder at the beginning! I've been wanting to get one and now I know it will be amazing! Now the stitch counting hook, I would just use it for rows. And I love the small yarn spinner! Also, I've always wanted to go to the TN Renfair but my health doesn't let me walk very far. I hope you have fun! ❤
Omg I love love love you're hair it is Beautiful. Mine was passed my knees about 2 years ago and I got it cut ✂️ to my shoulders, and I have been keeping it that short sense. I am pentecostal so we don't believe in cutting it but it has helped me so much in so many way like saving money on shampoo and headaches and stuff. But I do miss my long hairs so much but another reason I cut it is because as I was getting older it was falling out more and getting thinner and dried out and started looking too scraggly looking.
Love the yarn spinner! I will most likely purchase this!! Thank you, love your videos!
The yarn box is a great concept!
love the yarn spinner
ok first off I'm so so excited for this video as I've been wanting to try a lot of these tools for ages!
So excited for this to come out! Unfortunately l can’t go on the live but I’ll rewatch it❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Your walking spinner, I have a suggestion. Apply graphite to the metal where it spins at. Graphite makes metal slick and I feel it would allow the mechanism to move freely.
I keep graphite around at all times. It’s the greatest when you squeeze it into a lock. Run your key in and out a few times and BAM. Also great for any kind of door. Even car doors.
My hands lock up and cramp up a lot very easilly and for me the rings help me crochet longer without having that issue so def recommend them for people like me who have hand/mobility issues and or dyspraxia haha
I love the counter that looks like a watch. I have 2.
Okay I always crochet on my way to uni and handling the yarn ball is a nightmare so that walking one is soooo smart. Im definitely getting that!
Love my tension ring, it’s a cat head and keeps my yarn more forward on my finger instead of ending up at the base where my hand tend to be warmer and my yarn doesn’t slide as easily.
I really like seeing all the ways you use the stuff. Great job! I need one of the rings!!
Omgosh you would love the rings!
The yarn spinner sounds great! I can never find the center pull. Currently, my yarn ball is sitting in a pickle jar so it doesn't roll away lol
I love this video. I only wish that I had found it sooner. Like before I spent so much money on yarn bowls. LOL. I did look at the yarn spinner but thought that there was no way that the magnet would hold with larger skeins. I now have 2 beautiful yarn bowls however. I don't regret the purchases but I really like the spinner. I just subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Thanks.
I love making toys for my cat too! I made a big snake out of bernat blanket and he fux it up it’s hilarious!!!! I stuffed it with catnip so he’ll get a wif and start attacking the crap out of it and then snuggle it. 😂
I have one of those little cute counters in that color and I use it to count rows on my knitting machine! Love the yarn holder. I might need one of those!
What kind of knitting machine do you have? Luckily my lk150 has a row counter built into it it’s positioned where every time I slide it back-and-forth it counts a row somehow the machine hitting this lever 😂 but I just got a circular machine as well and I don’t think it has one built-in. Maybe I will use it for that!
I really love the yarn holder so far !
I’ve never tried an actual yarn bowl, but I’ve been thinking of using my dremel to cut a yarn feed in the side of a large wooden salad bowl I use. I hold my yarn exactly like you do, and I use a little snek ring if I’m doing long projects. Makes working either thinner yarns for long periods of time a lot more comfortable. I’m super interested in both yarn spinners. I might try and make one of the wrist bands ones out of things I already have.
Hi holly you are the reason why i love crocheting and thank you for the video it made me laugh❤❤❤
For the first one, i just use a bucket. I have a pretty one woth flowers and I also use it to transport my materials around my house or to my car if I'm travelling. It was under $5CAD and works great.
A tension ring was a game changer for me. I can't tension the yarn in my left hand without my hand cramping, and the ring allows me to crochet more conventionally (I had to switch up how I tension both knitting and crochet). I really enjoy mine, it's an octopus :)
I have a light up crochet hook with the interchangeable heads and mine has a little wrench in it to tighten it. I love it for travelling as its a toss in bag and go and if I have the wrong sized hook then its a simple swap, but I understand why people wouldn't like it. I also have a yarn bowl (that I got and painted from a clay cafe) but I only use it for small balls of yarn while bigger skeins I use an old magazine holder and do center pull, but that first yarn holder might be on my to buy list.
This is the first video I've watched on your channel. Thank you for the reviews! I was especially curious about the magnet ball holder. I'm going to order it. It looks like it will work as i hoped it would. Yes! Please do more reviews on craft items.
With the hook counter you could flip it to hold it more comfortably and push the buttons. The screen won’t be facing you but it’ll still work
I prefer the counter you put on your finger. I can put it where I want.
I found a big organizer bin at walmart it has a removeable lid. 2 corners of the lid are precut out so I found I can feed 2 skeins at once. Works great for center pull or outside pull. Also the bin is heavy enough it doesn't move. It's big enough I can fit 3 big skeins of super chunky blanket yarn in there
Good morning Holly, I just found you today and you have a great energy. I was considering buying the “walking” yarn holder, for travelling realised would keep yarn off the floor. Will now buy one. Many thanks Debs
Awe hi Debs welcome to the sunflower family!!!
this popped up in my feed so I watched, thank you for doing such a nice job of quick reviews. I have now added the yarn spinner to my wish list, and I think I might try the rings.
As far as the yarn box, on the side where you put the hooks, there's another pull out piece at the bottom that should keep everything from falling so easily when you move it. (I saw the image on the Amazon listing).
Also, I can't crochet and walk as I need to see where to put my hook, but i have frequently walked and knit with something similar. But the one I had was a hook and as the yarn ball got small, it wouldn't always hold. The one you showed looks like it will work better. I think the size is based on people knitting socks on the go, where the fingering weight yarn balls are smaller.
What a fun video. I think I need the first item now. That cube thing … the ruler is for a gauge swatch. The holes are for crochet and knitting needles. I have a ton of unmarked knitting needles I constantly need to check gauge on. Still looks unsturdy and cheap. I like all my tools that serve the same purposes fit in my notions bag.
Oooo that makes sense for knitting needles! But yes that yarn spinner is like the best thing I’ve ever bought for crochet!
I found a hoodie designed for knit/ crochet. It has the pocket open at the top and even has a stitched spot for scissors or another hook.
I learned about the beauty blender hack last fall, it legitimately saved me on a couple custom order deadlines. I work in a factory so repetitive motion can be an issue for me as I have mild carpal tunnel. The beauty blender has a permanent home in my crochet kit now.
Oh it seems like it would get in the way for me but I’m willing to try it because I have carpal and cubital tunnel and if it stops my wrist from getting sore I’m all for it
