  • @strawberryghost
    @strawberryghost 10 месяцев назад +1

    thank you, very helpful video. i have a question about the last color change you did where you added the bobbin. how do you know when to carry the yarn and when to use a bobbin? I feel like we carried the orange yarn a lot more than the green. is that because green is a darker color and more visible, so we never want to carry the green? but always carry the orange? or am I missing something?

    • @WillowCrochet
      @WillowCrochet  10 месяцев назад

      You only carry yarn if it can be hidden by stitches which are the same color. Either by carrying it along the top of stitches which are the same color (like at (05:00) or by crocheting over it with yarn that it the same color (like at 03:15). If you look at the point where I added the second green bobbin there was no way for me to carry the the first green yarn across without it passing through a block of orange. I hope that makes sense!

    My question would be how to do a color change for a single stitch in the middle of your main color.

Mine look terrible.

    I'm new to graphgans and just like me, I've done a big no no in crochet world. I'm fairly new to crocheting the right way. I normally design my own projects (I luv to call them bc there's no set pattern) bc I don't know really how to read patterns. I've taught myself how to crochet by watching youtube (Thks to my older 2 kids). I've only been crocheting for 10yrs. I'm very new to graphgans. I'm starting also a tiger graphgan. The question I have is, is it best to start from the bottom to top or top to bottom? I've printed the picture & also in graph form.
    I decided to start from top bc that's what I'm use to doing. Actually it's a redo bc mice chewed holes in the huge blanket I made my mom-in-law the 1st yr I was learning to crochet. To be honest, I went a lot crazy crocheting all sorts of blankets, totes, purses, monkeys lol. Yep and none correctly crocheted haha. So, I've undone everything and washed the yarn & got it ready to start a new blanket. Thks for all advices and anything helpful

      I use stitchfiddle.com, it’s free (there is a paid version too) and easy to use!
