    Struggling to get the yarn attached to the cord? My other charger cover video uses a different method, you might find it easier

    I actually just used this to cover an entire extention cord. Lol it took me about 5 hours 😅
    It looks great though, and is a lot more fun than getting those cable covers that attach to the wall to hide it. Thanks for the tutorial!

      It is rather addictive. My brother has asked me to cover a 20m fibre cable 😂 I think even my love of covering cables may be used up by the time I finish! 🤣😂

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I followed it and did my first cable. Few mistakes in spacing but I'm happy. Going to do some flowers next to attach. ❤

      Hi Tammy, I’m so pleased the video was helpful - congrats on making your first cable cover 😃😃 Good luck with the flowers - and thank you for the lovely message ☺️ just in case you run into difficulty, I’ve had a few people ask for a video on how I attach the flowers and that will be up within a few days. Happy crocheting! 👩🏻‍🦼Wheelie

    Thanks so much for this video! it was very helpful :)
    I used a merino wool (because the colour was exactly what i was looking for) and that also worked quite well!

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much ☺️ I’m really pleased the pattern turned out well for you - and so interested to hear about the merino wool! I’ve actually just been given an enormous bag full of pure wool yarn (isn’t that about the best hand-me-down ever?) and have been planning some projects, so you have perfect timing. I’d be really interested to hear how your charger cord ‘wears’ over time - I’ve found the cord covers made with 100% cotton yarns stay looking good for a lot longer than those made with acrylic, at a guess I think that wool will last well too. Hope you have a great weekend (with time to crochet) 👩🏻‍🦼Wheelie

    so cute and simple! i'm using medium weight yarn bc that's what i have lying around, and a 4mm hook instead of 5mm like i normally would. it's looking great so far :-)

      Hey Katie - I’m so glad you like the pattern 😃 and thank you for letting me know it’s working well with medium weight! I use DK because that’s what most of my stash is, I’ve never tried making it with medium, so I’m really interested to know how it works out. Wheelie

    i would only say that, since this is a cable cover, acrylic yarn might not be smart. If it gets damaged it could short and cause a fire, and acrylic will only make the cable more flammable. Natural fibers will be better for this if ur concerned about this

    How did u attach the flowers?

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  2 года назад +1

      I sewed them on to the leaves close to the cord - I used the same colour yarn as for the leaves and kept the stitches hidden in the underside of the flowers 😊👩🏻‍🦼

    Any tips for left hand? I'm going to have to do this all backwards.... any tips please!

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  Год назад

      Hi Jasmine - It must be frustrating when there’s not a good quality left handed video available for the project you’re interested in!! Do you watch RUclips through the RUclips app? There’s an extension you can install called ‘YT Mirror’ that will let you view *any* right-handed crochet video as a left handed video. There’s some info about it here: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-mirror/nokjcgeafjfhlbclmmgfeiiebgjfollb?pli=1
      Let me know if that doesn’t help because I *think* I could use my editing program to flip this video to mirror image and upload it again as a left handed version. I’ve never done it before but I’d be happy to give it a go. It may mean that there’s some mirrored words that I’ll need to blur/cover up, as I don’t have the original footage anymore, only the finished version. So it wouldn’t be perfect but if you can’t get the extension working it’ll be worth a try - this is a fun project :)👩🏻‍🦼❤️ Wheelie

    How do you wash it?

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  5 месяцев назад

      Hi 😊 You can’t wash these - the cable would get wrecked. But I haven’t noticed that any of mine look dirty, maybe pick a colour that won’t show it too much if you’re worried? Maybe go for darker colours rather than pastels? Sorry I couldn’t help more 👩🏻‍🦼Wheelie

    is this a fire hazard?

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  2 года назад

      Hi there 😊 I’ll put the disclaimer of ‘I’m not an electrician, just a crocheter’ on this, so if you are really worried you might want to look into it further, but I genuinely don’t think this is a fire hazard. USB charger cords don’t heat up so wrapping yarn around them isn’t trapping the heat. The yarn is just wrapped around the outside of it, it’s not in contact with any of the wire. I certainly wouldn’t wrap a damaged cord, cords that are frayed or damaged shouldn’t be used at all let alone decorated, they are definitely a fire hazard in themselves. I hope that helps 😊 All the best 😊 Wheelie 👩🏻‍🦼

      i made my charging cord into the vine but i think I might redo it with a different color and spacing

    • @wheeliemadeitcrochet
      @wheeliemadeitcrochet  2 года назад

      I’m glad I was able to reassure her and you’re trying it out 😊
      If you’re looking for other ideas (as it sounds like you haven’t got it looking quite how you want yet) I have another charger cover video, with little heart shaped leaves 💚
      ruclips.net/video/S0FFV4tWhFk/видео.html
      I’ve also sewn crocheted mushrooms onto one (I haven’t perfected it so no video but you could experiment) and I’m experimenting with berries - like with the heart shaped leaves you create little points for them to attach while you’re covering the cord and then crochet or sew them on after… You can tell I love making these 😆
      I hope you end up happy with your cord, let me know how you go 😁👩🏻‍🦼
