I am an avid crocheted. I am always searching for more complicated designs and your channel just appeared. WOW. Your designs are beautiful and your method of presentation is detailed and thorough. I am a new subscriber.
I have started showing this in newer videos, but basically I bring the yarn back up through the "fake" stitch I just made from below, then go backwards one stitch and go back down. This creates a little loop / knot that secures the end before you darn the rest of it in. Thanks for watching! 😊
I discovered what I was doing wrong with this method: When counting, do not count the loop on the hook. It overlays the first stitch, by means of threading the loop through the second stitch and back. The "loop" will overlay the first stitch.
I’m trying to make a granny square bag where two colors alternate every row. I’m trying to figure out how to change the colors without cutting the yarn (for structural stability) but also without the jog loop that is added from joining the round to itself. Because the colors are different, there is a line through the beginning chain, which makes it clear that it where the join is. I’m trying to avoid this. Do you know of a way to avoid the jog and cutting the yarn? Update 5 mins later: I actually figured it out. Instead of joining the row with the color of that row, I switch to the other color before finishing the stitch so that the loop on the join matches the next row color
I think I can visualize what you mean, not sure what stitch you are working in though, single crochet? maybe. I will join my rnds when working circular items, with a sl st, as it helps tamper down the bias slant of working in the round, I will change my yarn in the last part of the stitch before the sl st. Hard to hide a join in a solid stitch as opposed to an open work stitch. Hope that helps a little.
Basically you show us how to do the invisible join in almost all of your videos. The question I have which is never covered is after you make that invisible join and you make that nice extra stitch. How do you sew that end in so that it doesn't distort the stitch you just made and and how do you weave it in so that that invisible join/stitch does not come undone that's the issue that I have after I do an invisible join I go to weave the end in and when I have to use the stitch it seems to come loose, almost apart on me I'm just hesitant to use the invisible join for that reason.
@@jspcreate ohhh great thank you ! Thank you for responding, I love your videos , I love your work , I'm now working on another tote bag using this square ! It's going to be colorful . Thank you again
I have watched several slip stitch joining videos and your is by far the best! Thank you
That is so awesome, I am so glad this one works for you, Enjoy

Wow so beautifully taught. Thank you
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kinds words, they mean alot.
Très élégant! How do you secure the join (joins) when going on with the following since it can be quite heavy-handed for the poor stitches?

Really good question. I am planning a "Working Your Ends in as you Go" video so I will cover this in that tutorial. Thanks for that suggestion. 😊
