As a camera dodger myself, I really appreciate that all though you were filming in public, you blurred out the people on the subway to protect their privacy. Love a respectful queen!
this looks so good especially as a beginner!! 🫶🏻 i think the main issue that you’re having regarding having to use your fingers to complete the stitch is that your hook is facing upwards. you have the right technique to pull through the stitch with just the hook when you first go into the stitch and grab the yarn and pull through to have three loops on your hook for your half double crochet (if that makes sense?😅). when you complete your stitch to make your half double crochet, after you yarn over, twist your hook so that it is facing downwards instead of up and make sure that your working yarn is on your hook. you almost have it towards the end, you just need to twist your hook a little more so that you actually grab onto your working yarn! 🧶 i hope that helped a little. i was trying to explain it as best i could without video 😅 your blanket looks amazing so far though!!
I mean I’m 13 and I know how to crochet it was rough learning how to all by myself but I got the hang of it and now I can crochet almost anything! I am really surprised you chose such little tiny yarn to make a blanket I mean, it will really take a long time. I mean, you can really tell how much time you’ve spent on it from how little the yarn is and everything it’s wonderful. Great job I could never keep up as a beginner, keep up the videos I love your content 💕
This brings me back to when I started. It took me a while to find the right tutorial that I could learn from but eventually it just clicked. It will all come together, keep at it.
As a beginner myself, my advice for you is when watching a RUclips video tutorial ... remember to slow the speed of the video to 0.75 or slower as it makes it so much easier to learn ❤❤
Great work! The color choices look so nice together. To prevent having to use your fingers when pulling through the loops, try turning your hook so that the "nose" is facing down toward your work and not up! It will help prevent your yarn from slipping off/needing to hold it with your fingers. :)
I self taught myself watching a lot of beginner crochet videos. I started with Christmas tree snowflake ornaments for a few months & then watched blanket crochet tutorials. I crochet with right hand in a knife hold. Some people use a pencil type grip. I molded my hands like the tutorial persons hands until I found my style. Good luck.
I started crocheting in 2022 or 2023 and I watched alot of tutorials featuring lilthings and mahum they helped me so much so i definitely recommend their tutorials as they explain in such depth it so helpful
The blanket looks really good! U did a great job as a beginner. 29:21 u did not do anything wrong it's just beginners tend to not have proper tension so what I would tell u is instead of bringing the yarn from ur hook to do the yarn over and then u go through the loop,make ur hook go through your yarn by holding it in your pointer finger.
You’re so cute. Stretch your fingers and hands when you’re doing a blanket. Lol. Tough on the hands. Love seeing how happy you’ve become as it’s come together. And the dog is darling.
I just finished four hrs of fighting with a project that would have been so much easier had I chosen different yarn. I finally decided I have to go to bed. I started your video as I was transitioning to go to bed. I could instantly feel your pain. Glad Day 2 went better than your first night. You picked out some beautiful colors. I can’t stay up to see the final product but good luck!
You should look up videos on how to hold onto the yarn for crochet. Hold onto the project and yarn with your left hand. The right hand holds just the hook. This will give the tension you need between yarn and hook as you pull away.
I’m a beginner too n one of the first things u have to learn is how to hold the yarn with one hand n the hook with the other. Makes crocheting easier n faster
Besides the tip about rotating ur hook so it points downwards when pulling through the loops (like other ppl already mentioned), I'd also look into ways of how to hold your working yarn. I personally could not crochet with not holding the working yarn with my left hand (I have it go between my pinky and ring finger from the back, then wrap it around my index finger twice, but there are many ways to do it), because doing that makes the yarn have some tension and so it wont slip off your hook easily or go wherever 😅 I feel like I have more control like this.
I just started crocheting in March and it has been a great summer hobby. I didn't think I would be able to learn it but I used a crochet kit called "The Woobles" I highly recommend as they properly teach every stitch and the correct way to crochet which will make the process so much easier! If you aren't able to get the kit they also have a pretty helpful youtube channel! Good luck :)
I am not an expert myself, but i think that if you learn to hold the hook like a pencil, you will be able to crochet faster. I used to hold the hook like you and my grandma saw me and told me i would be able to crochet faster if i held it like a pencil. It worked for me personally. The knife way also makes you do bigger movements and the hand can get tired more easily. I could be wrong though. I really love how the blanket is coming out by the way!
hey! the blanket looks so cool i love the colours so much!! just 2 little tips: 1) to help with the question you asked about using your fingers to yarn over- i’d suggest watching some youtube videos on how to improve your tension, those helped me so much with stopping to use my fingers to yarn over 2) when crocheting the first chain at the very beginning, i saw that it’s very tight- i would suggest making the chains at the beginning a bit more loose cause then as you go along with your project you won’t have the amount of pulling in your work! hope that helps at all! 💞
Hello, I learn how to crochet almost 3 years now, I’m not a pro still continue learning. I just started my own RUclips channel last few months and Yes… I love Crochet ❤️ and love to go to Spotlight at Plaza Sing as well. So happy to found your video and I subscribe to your channel. Happy Crochet 😊
I just found your channel, I’m knitting a vest at the moment. It’s nice to watch someone else working on their yarn process. Really enjoyed your video. Sorry to hear you’re feeling down. Could you get your own dog? Dogs are the best companions ❤
When you first learn to crochet you try and learn using other peoples techniques on how to handle the hook and yarn. the more you crochet the more you are going to naturally relax and not hold the hook so tightly and you will be able to manipulate the hook and yarn to work the way you need it to. There really is no wrong or right way. practice makes perfect , just relax and take your time
You’re doing a great job, the blanket looks like it’ll be beautiful. My question is how are you tensioning the yarn? I’m right-handed and use my left to hold the project and tension the yarn with my fingers.
Good evening clarice I just come across ur vlog and im loving it so thank u 4 inspirering me to try❤ Im going 2 like and subscribe to ur vlog❤ I wood love to buy that wool u bought but not as much as u got i wood have to buy so many at a time Hiw many grams is one of them please? The wool is beautiful colours 💙💚❤️💜😊
It looks like you chose to do this blanket with the most difficult yarn as its hard to find the stitches with this. I hope you still have fun making it. 🎉
Okay I'm just a girl from france, started knitting and crocheting recently, and I just had to pause on the price of yarn... Please don't tell me it's 15$ for a ball of yarn? TwT
Well it depends because for example when I buy yarn I almost always buy it from Walmart it’s not much but it’s still does the work at it cost like a dollar or 2 anyways ,
I love the velvet yarn you're using but you should actually learn how to handle the yarn on your left hand so that way you won't need to use your finger and it will take really less time!!! :> I'm subscribing because I really enjoyed your videooo
I also thought “ooh, Spotlight! She’s in Australia!” But then the shop staff spoke in Chinese and that’s not so common… and then I saw she’s in Singapore. I don’t think I realised Spotlight was international!

This and also it may just be the angle but the hook tip looks too circular for my preference. Maybe try a different hook/hook brand as well?
By watching you I remember my first time 😅

It’s so cute how everyone in the comments is giving tips on crocheting and holding the hook 🩷

I was thinking the same the whole time cause it was stressful seeing the way she struggled holding the yarn
Just make a border around the blanket in the end then you will hide all the loose ends 👍🙂🥰🍀🍀
I’m a beginner too n one of the first things u have to learn is how to hold the yarn with one hand n the hook with the other. Makes crocheting easier n faster

I love the Singaporean accent. I am also a crocheter + a Singaporean. Yarn would probably be heaven as I am a crocheter, and I also love yarn.

This is such a calming vlog 💗

Hello - The cardigan/sweater you wearing at the very start - Very cute, very Demure. Where can we find the pattern?
I don’t believe it is a pattern, I think she mostly likely bought it from somewhere. Hope that helps 😊
You did such a great job! As a beginner learning crochet as well, would you be able to share the blanket pattern you used?
Thank you so much! Here you go! ruclips.net/video/J5pQ--HDvFU/видео.htmlsi=DSGPiJ60XiA9hn7B Good luck with yours too, excited for you🥰
@@CLARICEWONGG ahhh thank you so much for taking to reply back, you’re the best!
200 chains!! U r a trooper. Im not goin over 140 lol and thats pushing it
Also try to loosen up your tension a little bit more so your blanket dosnt crumble together instead of being straight. Your doing very good ❤
9:24 I thought I was the only one excited about crochet ❤
THIS IS IN SINGAPOREE I WENT TO SPOTLIGHT YESTERDAY❤!
2:05 OMGG THE GRANNY ON THE BACKGROUND 😭😭😭😭
Self care =yarn …. This is the kind of math I understand
You’re doing a great job, the blanket looks like it’ll be beautiful. My question is how are you tensioning the yarn? I’m right-handed and use my left to hold the project and tension the yarn with my fingers.
Good evening clarice
I just come across ur vlog and im loving it so thank u 4 inspirering me to try❤

I wood love to buy that wool u bought but not as much as u got i wood have to buy so many at a time
Hiw many grams is one of them please?
The wool is beautiful colours
💙💚❤️💜😊
It looks like you chose to do this blanket with the most difficult yarn as its hard to find the stitches with this. I hope you still have fun making it. 🎉
Then change to the 6mm for the rest of the blanket
so the yarn at Spotlight are 40% off all over the world?! (i just went to my local Spotlight yesterday, they also on 40% off sales lol)
You should try going to memo arthouse for yarn ! They have a good variety of yarn and most of them are pretty affordable:)
Okay I'm just a girl from france, started knitting and crocheting recently, and I just had to pause on the price of yarn... Please don't tell me it's 15$ for a ball of yarn? TwT
Well it depends because for example when I buy yarn I almost always buy it from Walmart it’s not much but it’s still does the work at it cost like a dollar or 2 anyways ,
Depends what type how much and we’re you are I’m a Brit and its 11.99 for your average 😊
You needed to use a 7mm hook so it doesn’t curl up and your got a straight line for your blanket
Oh my God, you are so beautiful. I just discovered you and subscribed, you are wonderful.❤
you live in which country sorry this is my question was indiscreet but I just wanted to know where you were ?
Lovely
Wait a minute is that from Perth Australia?❤😊😮

The beautiful dog knew you needed him ❤

I love the velvet yarn you're using but you should actually learn how to handle the yarn on your left hand so that way you won't need to use your finger and it will take really less time!!! :> I'm subscribing because I really enjoyed your videooo
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy I found your channel! Another RUclipsr in Australia who goes to Spotlight! I love using the Veluxe to make hair scrunchies.
I also thought “ooh, Spotlight! She’s in Australia!” But then the shop staff spoke in Chinese and that’s not so common… and then I saw she’s in Singapore. I don’t think I realised Spotlight was international!
@@shojinryori ohhhhh I had no idea there were spotlight stores in Singapore either!!!
6:50-Jesus helps and he is there for you

Just twist your hook accordingly
