I highly agree with the "invest in your tools" comment. After crocheting for about 5 years with cheap hooks, I invested in a set that I researched to death (Tulip Etimo Rose). It has made a HUGE difference. My hands never hurt from crocheting now and the hooks don't get sticky.
as someone who already had chronic pain when I started crochet, compression gloves are a godsend. Fingerless ones work best for me so I can still get the right tension, but they help a lot with hand and wrist pain!
I didn't know you knew about TOFT and Edwards Menagerie! I went there for my work experience and helped make projects for their new veggie book that's coming out!
German here too! I just squealed when i got to that part of the video for the same reason. I hesitated to buy the original because i wanted to learn the terms in german first. Do you have advice what needles i should get, since we have different needles in stock in shops in germany? I dont want to rely on amazon but on local shops, and you seem to have experience :)
The fierceness of “I’m not going to cry because we’re not doing this again” slayed me. Also, I make handspun yarn and teach spinning, so if you get a similar line of questioning this year, I love Snyder spindles (technically Turkish but make a beautiful and useful center pull ball for plying), Electric Eel Wheels (shout out to Maurice for trying to make spinning more accessible), and my Ashford Joy (a bit of a splurge) though I’ve also heard great things about the Ashford Kiwi, and also Schacht and Spinolution in wheels. Spinning is indeed a rabbit hole.
Das ist wunderbar, Toni! Dein Buch jetzt auf Deutsch, das ist sehr toll. I'm learning German now and I'm tempted to get the German edition to help me practice. Congratulations! (Your emotional reaction talking about that event was too sweet.)
All I want for Christmas is your Tunisian book and to finally launch my crochet business and nicheing down to baby layette as a start. I loveeee it here and thank you for blessing us with your tutelage and crochet love.❤
I found your book with spiral binding, I love that! It makes it so much easier than trying to juggle your crocheting and book all at once. Keep your wonderfully upbeat and positive self creating! You are an inspiration to the crafting world!
Yessss! Metal Tunisian crochet hooks! I really don't like the feel of plastic hooks. The feel of the friction of the yarn on the plastic is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It keeps me from doing larger projects.
Congratulations on your wonderful book being translated into German! Like your family, my eldest sister and her family spent a tour in Germany during the 70s. Her youngest son was born in Heidelberg.
I am married for 45 years but I need a sugar daddy with no expectations and a bottomless pocket. I need yarn, yarn and some more yarn. Also lots of shelves to put the yarn on. Merry Christmas and tummy rubs to all fur babies.
I've already ordered sooo many crochet supplies so I don't think I should order anymore, lol. I just want some quiet time TO crochet with my pets for Christmas but I do like the TLYC merch...
What an amazing prize! I love your videos but most of all I love your smile. It brightens my day and just makes me happy to see it, even before I open the video.
I’m with you for the metal Tunisian crochet hooks Toni! With swivel cables and stop buttons please. And less than $50 each (yikes!). I like my Clover wooden hooks for most things, the Denise hooks are good if there’s no acrylic in the yarn, or if the wool isn’t super washed, but a great metal set would win my crochet heart. I’ll sign the petition any day. Merry Christmas and looking forward to 500K subscribers by the New Year!
Okay so mom here and I checked my stash and I have what I asked for. Alpaca sweater for myself will be my first New Year project. God's will. 😁😁😁 I hope all of your wishes come true. 😍
I have metal tunisian, i got them from a lady that ran a thrift store. A whole ton of crochet and quilting items got donated and they were selling these king size bedding bags full of items for $10-12.00 per bag. I got a set of crochet lites , a crochet hook holder. Thread yarn. lots of items were still new in unopened pkgs marked 29cents!. I got a double ended Tunisian metal hook, along with several different sizes. ALL metal! I love them. Also, Knittting needles, and more! For 10 bucks! Try some thrift stores, and local resell shops. You would be surprised how much you find that ppl get rid of, sell, or donate!
Toni, the last thing that I needed was another book. But I so love your sunshine and positive energy, that when you talked about it I just had to go online and buy it. So Thanks for the great book and for just being yourself. Tracy from Idaho
Your book is translated into German! This is amazing! I am so happy for you and all your success and all your joy! And yay to your partner for his support of you and your mama for sharing the gift of crochet with you, and to your community of friends and family who are helping to celebrate your successes every day. You deserve it all! You Go!🎉
Your comment about investing in your tools is so true! It reminds me of what Adam Savage says on his RUclips channel. "Buy the best tool you can afford." This has really been great advice for me, as my tools have had a better use life than had I bought the cheapest ones around. This practice has also taught me what features I am willing to bend on (what my hook is made of, not that important to me) and what features must be present (how that hook is shaped matters to me). And if Janine and Gregory don't get together...sheesh! Wishing all y'all a festive end of the year!
Al I want for Christmas is your book and that cut mug with the cats because I’m starting my first Tunisian project because of your videos. I’m so excited bc I’m gifting it to my mother-in-love. And also the heart end to the Tunisian cord😊💜
I would love a light so I can crochet at night in my room without disturbing my husband with the regular light while he is sleeping. Lol. I would love some of your merch. Loving the sweater your wearing.
That is a beautiful winder and I will just continue to enjoy it from a distance since I do not need another. lol Jan and Greg, just get together - it's time. 😉(Oh wow, that statement gave me a flashback to the Brady Bunch where I would NOT recommend that union. 🤭) Thanks, Toni. ❤ P.S. That giveaway is fantastic!!!
I am looking for a ball winder too!!! After a year with my swift and hand-balling yarn, I am ready. I told myself this year that it let me feel the yarn more and gave me more time touching and squishing the yarn but honestly--- there is a lot of yardage in fingering weight yarn so it gets to be a bit much. Didn't realize so many others would be interested too. 😄 Good luck with the subscriptions and congrats on the book!!!!
Love you Toni..the joy you stand for is awe inspiring…I’m loving your “grannies in training” merch as Grandma Doula it’s a play on fields. How about a bag or iron on to add to my bags…hook on my friend
Love all these suggestions, just want to add my suggestion for subscriptions. Jimmy bean's has great ones! I have done the accessory plan for two years. It's priced right and they give you a knit and crochet pattern. You get to try so many different yarns and the projects are great for those who need a sense of accomplishment in their crafting!!! Also they make great gifts for my yarn friends!
Good evening!! So, Toni, you need to make a line of metal Tunisian crochet hooks!! Who better, than you to make it happen. I am speaking this into existence and I will be the first to buy!! ☺️
I got the Clover Amour crochet hook set. It is wonderful. I went from pretty terrible to nice stitches just by changing my hook. Thank you for the tip on these wonderful hooks. You made a beginner not give up.
Good morning Toni just wanted to say I got my to go tumbler crochet is for lovers, omg so pretty love it and it kept my cinnamon tea very hot for hours burnt my tongue once not realizing it was still that hot. Great to go cup. Thank you. ❤️🧶🎄☃️❄️
Hello Miss Toni. I have been crocheting for years but am in a rut. I am so excited I found your channel. I am ready to learn new crochet patterns and skills from you! Thank you for your positive, uplifting vibe. This will be a fun New year 2023 learning from you!
I bought the book when it came out, it was my first craft book ever bought, even though I have 15 years of different fiber-work experience. It is hands-down a beautiful book, and so so so well explained. The patterns are gorgeous, and you deserve all the success!
I love your book! My favorite!! I have you to thank for turning me into a Tunisian crochet addict. My makes are really loved & so I get to share you with many! Bless you sweet one.❤
Okay Toni gurl😊 I am so glad you talked about Tunisian hooks cuz my first project for the new year is a cardigan by who yes you sissy. Love you be blessed beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🧶🧶🧶🧶🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰
Made the Mesa Hat and Scarf 🧣 just sent them to my youngest daughter & her daughter! I'm in Florida they are in New Hampshire. Baby it's cold up there 🥰 Thank u for the pattern. Happy holidays!
Large capacity (10-16oz) yarn ball wonder: from Amazon from Olikraft, $60. We just bought the Knit Picks 4oz winder, a tabletop Amish-style swift, stitch markers, row counters, and a few other notions to loan out from my library’s yarn craft club. We were so excited to try them out.
Congrats on those subs and the German Edition of the book! I bought your book for my 17th birthday (using a gift card from previous Christmas and Amazon Gift Cards courtesy of Swagbucks) and I just finished my first Tunisian crochet design coming out soon. You are the best teacher I could ever ask for since your 25 tips video turned my crafting around, and merry Christmas!
I'm totally in love with my Athena Hooks from Bella Coco. Highly recommend if someone is looking for major comfort and less cramping when crocheting. Thanks for the recommendations Toni! Love watching you so much.
I got a set of metal tunisian crochet hooks on amazon complete with a carrying case before I took your advice and upgraded to the clover wooden set. They're not amazing quality but they don't bend and are also great for fishing out the drawstrings in my hoodies lol.
I have your book & I love it! I'm so happy you're now getting translated. My tunisian is slowly reaching the standard of my traditional crochet and I'm finally ready to use it to make something out of some beautiful yarn a dear friend hand spun for me. I may even join F/book to post the result.
Congratulations on your book being printed in German…that’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing all of these ideas for Christmas wish lists. You always have great recommendations. 💜🙏🏻
Please review some medal Tunisian crochet hooks if you find any reasonably priced sets! I have a strong aversion to wood, and I don't love the idea of using plastic ones since I'm such a snob lol
All though id love that tshirt your wearing... Is all id really loooove to find the red etimo hooks in my stocking.... Already have the grey and pink...

Saaaaame!
Same
You should be very proud of yourself Miss Toni……you are a great example of a person who works hard to fulfill her dreams!

Addi makes metal tunisian crochet hooks!
"*nearly cries* and I'm not gonna cry because I just got my makeup done"
Love where our priorities lie
I didn't know you knew about TOFT and Edwards Menagerie! I went there for my work experience and helped make projects for their new veggie book that's coming out!
Fan from Germany here 🤗 Yayy, now I put your book in German right on top of my wish list! I already have the original 🤭
German here too! I just squealed when i got to that part of the video for the same reason. I hesitated to buy the original because i wanted to learn the terms in german first. Do you have advice what needles i should get, since we have different needles in stock in shops in germany? I dont want to rely on amazon but on local shops, and you seem to have experience :)

I know this wish won't happen, but I wish a day with Toni.
I think we all want that to happen
Ahh yes, i agree. Wouldn't it be awesome to spend a day with Ms. Toni. Maybe just a few friends. Hot tea, coffee, cocoa, or a glass of prosecco
Yessss! Metal Tunisian crochet hooks! I really don't like the feel of plastic hooks. The feel of the friction of the yarn on the plastic is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It keeps me from doing larger projects.
Love the granny square sweat shirt.
I recommend you all the time to people new to Tunisian crochet. Can’t say enough good things about you!!
Congratulations on your wonderful book being translated into German! Like your family, my eldest sister and her family spent a tour in Germany during the 70s. Her youngest son was born in Heidelberg.
You should be very proud of your book!! It is really fabulous
I am married for 45 years but I need a sugar daddy with no expectations and a bottomless pocket. I need yarn, yarn and some more yarn. Also lots of shelves to put the yarn on. Merry Christmas and tummy rubs to all fur babies.

Oh my God SAAAAME! I THOUGHT SOMETHING BIG WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THAT LATEST EPISODE! It's my favorite show.
I agree. I have been searching for metal interchangeable Tunisian crochet hooks for a while.
I adore the shirt you have on! So pretty!, I thought I’d have to stand on my head. rubbing my tummy and patting my head!, Lol! Great giveaway😋
I agree with Gayle Henderson, sharing a day with Ms. Toni would be awesome
Al I want for Christmas is your book and that cut mug with the cats because I’m starting my first Tunisian project because of your videos. I’m so excited bc I’m gifting it to my mother-in-love. And also the heart end to the Tunisian cord😊💜
Definitely found a few ideas from this video to add to my list! Thank you!
Also Yes!!!! Janine and Gregory!!!!!!! Obsessed with Abbott elementary!
Nelsonwood Crochet hooks are fantastic. Expensive but worth every penny.
I would love a light so I can crochet at night in my room without disturbing my husband with the regular light while he is sleeping. Lol. I would love some of your merch. Loving the sweater your wearing.
Your smile is contagious and bright!
You have a beautiful soul. I love you Toni YAAASSSSS!!!
That is a beautiful winder and I will just continue to enjoy it from a distance since I do not need another. lol

Love you Toni..the joy you stand for is awe inspiring…I’m loving your “grannies in training” merch as Grandma Doula it’s a play on fields. How about a bag or iron on to add to my bags…hook on my friend
The coloured crochet hooks are great. The thick handle is good for arthritic hands
Girl. I don’t know how I didn’t know you had merch!!! Also, totally felt the “I’m not gonna cry.” Part.
Love all these suggestions, just want to add my suggestion for subscriptions. Jimmy bean's has great ones! I have done the accessory plan for two years. It's priced right and they give you a knit and crochet pattern. You get to try so many different yarns and the projects are great for those who need a sense of accomplishment in their crafting!!!

Happy Birthday to the book baby and Congratulations on the ratings!!!!!!!!

Amen on the metal Tunisian hooks! Even super smooth wood with a thumb rest, slightly pointy head, and swivel cords would make me happy.
Congratulations on your book. You have every reason to feel proud. Good Job!

So excited for the raffle, but excited for that sweatshirt.
I would love a TLYC merch mug! Oh, and some more yarn!

I am so with you on the metal Tunisian hooks. I don't care for any plastic or wood hooks.
