This is an amazing video in so many ways. I've spent the past 3 days looking for a solution to my problem and finally I found it! Not only is your footage of crocheting extremely clear, you're a natural performer. The intro is concise and shows your joy for teaching crocheting. Please continue to make videos like this, so, SO helpful!
Very well done- you speak clearly, at a good pace and without a lot of useless blather, or annoying music and noise in background. lighting and Camara angle really good, demo and tips excellent. THANK YOU ! Please make more, you’re a real pro!
I've watched several videos on this and this is the *only* video I found that was so well-explained! You're such a patient and incredible teacher! I wish I stumbled on this before my recent project, but at least my uneven line is going to be hidden for this project. But my next? I'm using this technique! And your demeanour really brightened my morning! :D I needed that bright spot to my day!
Life saver! Just ripped out hours of work on a yoga mat bag because the pattern was so ugly not lining up and the instructions never explained how to make this right. THANK YOU! Once more into the fray!
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.
I’m so glad I found you only too late!! I’m from Michigan and a Detroit Lions fan. For Christmas I made 7 different beanies for the Fam… Color change Hawaiian Blue with gray and I was so dissatisfied, because of the seams🥲🤪. I’m looking forward to make a couple more beanies, with your technique 👍 THANK YOU soo much. Good job showing and your details were perfect! GO 🦁’s!!
As I can't speak or write English, I used the Google translator. I apologize for the errors. Just to thank and congratulate your explanation of the "famous step" in crochet work where colors are changed. It was the best explanation I found. Thank you from Brazil.
Really enjoyed your video. I've been crocheting for 16 years and have never liked the continuous spiral patterns people create for amigurumi besides for heads. I'm constantly "fixing" patterns I find to fit my own opinion of what looks better. Nice to see someone who also thinks "outside the box" and has so much experience. :)
OMG! You're just a genious! I'm crocheting my first amigurumi and I wasn't pleased with the change colour, but your tutorial is so easy and the result so perfect! It is absolutely unnoticiable!
Al fin alguien se tomó el trabajo y la paciencia de explicarlo súper bien para nosotras las principiantes, lo he comprendido y no es mi idioma, gracias, gracias.
Thank you,you have been very helpful, I’m just starting out, I have been a victim of abuse, and your use of this word does not bother me in the least, I am looking forward to learning more from you in the future. I like the way you take your time to explain, thank you again and have a very happy and save new year
Beautifully explained and demonstrated. Probably not possible, but old eyes like mine would LOVE it if you could zoom in on your trickier moves, or when pointing out a particular part of a stitch. THANK YOU for taking the time to do these! I'll be watching more of them!
Maybe this will work for you www.amazon.com/Technology-123D-Magnifier-Bluetooth-Speaker-Enlarger/dp/B082RG7CBZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=phone+magnifier&qid=1591136826&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTVg1NU9TM1FMT0pXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzkzMDk0NjM0VElOTUpYNUVMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwNDM2MjAyTjdZTEdDVzkyTE1VJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
I have been primarily using full loop crochet for amigurumi but after seeing how smooth the color transition was with backloop crochet I am eager to experiment with it. Thank you, this was incredibly informative 😊
The Circle Join does work with both full loop and back loop. Try both and see how you like it. Just remember that, even when doing back loop, the circle join is still done in the full stitch. I'm so glad you found this video informative.
Your technique borders on Genius. My only regret is, I wish I'd seen your video years ago. Colour changes have always been a rather big obstacle to overcome, and I've ALWAYS tripped over where the colour changes are in my finished project. I LOVE THIS BRILLIANT AND HOBBY CHANGING SOLUTION! I now cruise through the changes with your technique and ABSOLUTELY love the final result! A BIG THANK YOU to you! BTW I love your voice. It's perfect and very pleasant. Easy to understand too. Also, no "fluff" added---goes right to the subject!👍👍👍👍👍
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I was making Christmas Gnomes for my Daughter-in-law for Christmas. The legs are circular striped red and green, the pattern calls for continuous rounds. When it came to the legs I was lamenting over how messy they looked with the jaggedness. I was going through videos and yours came up. My Daughter-in law may be getting her present late but with your help it went from ho hum to awesome. Thank you again!
You are such a great teacher/tutor. 🤗 Your tutorials are so comprehensive & clear. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for your effort & work. God bless you. 🙏🏾
Thanks a lot, you're the best one in explaning how to change the colors. I had a look to different videos, but could not find one with a real invisible change. Now I am happy and I can continue with my work. Sorry for bad english. 😘
Thank you for this video! I've watched a couple other 'invisible' colour change videos but they all seemed so complicated... your method is really simple and easy to do! xx
Thank you I have been crocheting off and on for 18 years and have just started making toys. I normally make hats scarves and Afghans. This is helpful for me. The first you I made is all one color so you can’t tell to much.
Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you just have to go that extra mile in order to get the look that you want instead of "oh well". Many years ago a kind crocheter quickly taught me how to join the rows on a hat that I was doing. I had never thought about what she taught me in minutes (on the bus). I never forgot that lesson because I had made dozens of hats without doing the invisible join. I also saw how to decrease without leaving a gaping hole in the work. I laughed and laughed at how I decreased, but, it did work, it's just that it didn't look perfect and you could see what was done real easy. I'm a visual learner and these videos are just what the doctor ordered. You helped to bring back my joy of crocheting. Thank you again for sharing with us.
Juanita, I can't thank you enough for this very kind comment. You are very welcome. And I thank you for sharing your story. I love getting to know the people who are watching.
I'm glad you're enjoying and learning. I think one of the best things about RUclips is that people can ask questions, and I can talk to them (even if it is just writing). :-)
Thank you. Fabulous teacher!!! extremely well done, easy to follow, instructions clear, visuals clearly presented. Thank you. I will watch everyday as a reminder.
This was AWESOME! Huge favor. Zoom in closer to work so you can see what you are stitching into and where you are pointing the tapestry needle. Or......Use a larger yarn so you can see what you are doing. GREAT explanation though! Thanks for sharing!
First, thank you. Second, this video is scheduled to be redone. It was only the second video I ever created, lol. It will be a little while before I can redo it as I'm currently in Florida helping a friend move.
Actually, yarning under instead of over is also one way to control the slant of the stitch on joining, so your surgery is serendipitous for showing the better way to stitch for no-show seams!! Thank you for the really clear explanation!
Yes it is. And, going back through my VERY OLD (hehe) notes also reminded me that to yarn under is called a Square Single Crochet, so it's a real stitch, lol. Thank YOU for pointing it out {{{hugs}}}
Thank you for that very clear explanation. I'm teaching myself to crochet and have already taken a hate for those jagged lines you get from colour changes. Thanks to you, I'm gonna look like a pro!
I have been crocheting for 35 years and always hated the color change on the row change I hate how it looks I also don’t like how when you do it that way the starting point for the row moves this keeps it straight thank you so much for this
You remind me of my mother with your mannerisms. Once, when we first had 8mm home movies, the sound went out on the projector. Then we realized my mother's hands were going up and down, back and forth, and she looked like she was doing sign language. Same as you. You made me miss her. Sooo much. It's a good kind of miss. She loved me and i knew it.
I love this technique and used it on my very first Mochila bag. I have seen many tutorials now and wonder why, why, why I have not seen the invisible join on any of them. I just did a simple one-stitch increase on the bottom and until I reached 100 stitches with 8 sections so a 10-stitch repeat. And then did a two-color design like flying geese in quilting. Except for changing colors over the join, which I had redo a couple of times, it was so easy and it is practically invisible. And as my first project ever, it looks great !!! I wish I could send a picture to you.
I AM SO HAPPY that you are enjoying this. I would really like to see a picture as well. Are you on Facebook? I have a Facebook group (not a page) where we all share pictures of what we are working on, join the group and you could share a picture with me (and about 6,000 other folks that love crochet) bit.ly/2MoiIOh
Wow I just found your channel. Is so strange a friend of mine (Christyn from Christyn's Crochet Corner) is just learning Amirgrumi and asked if we knew of any videos to help smooth her color changes. And BOOM there was your video. You explained it so well. I'm going to try it myself because I love Amirgrumi. Is one of my passions.
Just purchased my first book on tapestry crochet and I am finally getting the courage to start. Your tutorial made it easy for me to see the difference between a visible and an invisible join. Loved the bobby pin, I use paper clips. Keep the videos coming.
Your first book on tapestry crochet, what an adventure. Be careful or you'll be hooked for life, lol. I'm glad I was able to help. The bobby pin started decades ago. Bread wrapper closing tabs work pretty well too. :-)
Very detailed. Thank you for repeating so many times! You do it enough times so I can really GET it, not just see it.👍 Your crochet is really art. New subscriber!
You are very welcome. Way back in school (about 40+ years ago, lol) I was told that to teach you need to repeat about 3 times, trying to use different words. I'm not always good at using different words, lol. I'm glad this helped you.
I didn't know that you are the change the color guru, I have been waiting for 45 years. I'm suddenly embarrassed to say that but I thank you too much for it. Because I would make a really pretty amigurumi or what not, and I was so unhappy with the lalaloopy of colors lol.🙏
Be careful, you'll get hooked (pun intended). Once you start tapestry crochet, you'll love it. Check out my channel, I'm doing free lessons. You're very welcome.
This is one of the best crochet channels out there. I have been wracking my little beginner brain for the last couple of days wondering why some channels recommend a circle join while others don’t and now I know !!!! Thank you !!!!🙏
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial Sandy-Maree. In answer to your questions, I mainly crochet amigurumi so the majority of my crochet is in the round. However, I am learning to make mochila bags and your tutorial has made my colour changes so much neater!!
Ohhhhh My Goodness this is One of the Best instructions I have found in a long time❣❣❣Thank You Soooooo Much for your Time and Love of Crochet❤ To teach us how to do the Perfect Looking Creations ❤❤ You Are a 😇💝💗💓💐⚘👏👏👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love your video. It has helped me tremendously. I still need to refine it but I am really pleased with the difference it’s made in my amigurumi.
Your techniques are absolutely amazing! I’ve been crocheting for a while and a lot of online info and videos goes through the same 5-10 tips. But I haven’t heard your tips anywhere and they are so great!
You're very welcome. I think it might have something to do with my age, lol. I'm 64 and part of my learning came from little old Ladies about 50 years ago. So these aren't new. Just very old and almost forgotten. :-)
i have only been crocheting for about 6 months, followed lots of tutorials as well as a friend showing me. This tutorial helped clear up a lot of stress i had trying to change colour and join my circle seamlessly in the round. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thank you for saving me!
Good morning Sandy, I just came across your channel. I absolutely love you already 😘 your so pleasant to listen to. I look forward to seeing more of your work.😍😍😍 Have a fabulous day. 😗
Thank you so very much for creating this video! You are so good at teaching us how to do the Invisible Join! I hope you have been doing well since you made this video a few years ago.
Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! It goes at a perfect pace and the camera shows the technique very clearly! One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
I have never met a person that explains things better then you do! I am so glad I found your videos! :) My crochet projects have never looked better. Thank you!
Thank you for this, I have searched high and low for a method that won't jog every time I join!!! Clearly explained and well illustrated. Love from Christine in China.
@@CrochetFiberArt I had been watching countless videos on this and this is the only method that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Now my amigurumi will look beautiful thanks to your method.
Thank you so much! I'm making my first amigurumi mini pig! For my father in law for his birthday! It's back and white and I've never needed to do the perfect color change before! Looks complicated but you make it so simple with ur directions!! Greatly appreciated 💜
I use a drop earring to stitch mark lol ,but I love your bobby pin too. I hope to finish my Amigurumi Bumble Bee with even stripes now. Thank you for taking the time to share your creative experience. Hope to see more Videos Sandy Happy New Year🐝🧶🎉🎊
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It made it very easy to understand! I've been doing amigurumi for a bit now and this will help it look just that bit better 😊 Recently I've tried doing back loop single crochet for amigurumi and have really been enjoying how it looks!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for letting me know you're enjoying both the circle join and back loop. It really warms my heart to know people are using things like this.
Thank you, I'm starting a mosaic blanket and in the pattern after every round it called for an invisible join and I didn't know what that was and you explain it so perfectly
Oh my, a Mosaic Blanket! I sure wish there was a way to share pictures here on RUclips comments. I'd love to see it. You are welcome and I'm glad the video helped you.
Thank you for this invisible join, have been wanting to get rid of the jagged join in spiral crocheting! I am also hoping to perfect colour columns in the spiral crocheting, just does not work on the spiral , it just no longer looks like columns
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm working on honing my skills as I, too, have retired early to devote all my time to produce fiber art crafts. :)
Finally I found you. This is so helpful and have subscribed instantly. You’re a fantastic teacher and offer so much help for some of us trying to master this craft. Thank you so much and look forward to watching other training videos. I’m looking for one on color changes and Bobbles LOL, I can’t seem to get my colors to NOT show through 😂
Oh my, thankyou thankyou for this detailed tutorial, what a game changer for me, I'm just starting out in amigurumi, and working on my skills before making a pattern that I bought for inspiring me to practice before so attempt it...of course I'm now your newest subscriber⚘ when a lesson is needed a teacher will appear....Hello teacher⚘
Thank you for the instructions. I had to watch the video a couple of times. I don't think I'll bother with the circle join unless I were changing colors. I use stitch markers to mark the ends of the rows. I will try this method. It almost looks as if a stitch is skipped at the end of each row, but I now see that is where the circle join occurs.
You are exactly correct. The stitch that looks like it's skipped is where the join happens. And there isn't any reason to do the join, unless you are changing colors, you're right again :-)
Just want to say that you explained things very clearly. I hadn't come across the circle join before, handy to know for future projects! I'm going to watch your other videos for more useful crochet tips. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you for such an easy way of changing colours in the round. I have tried another way of doing this, however, I found quite complicated and difficult to manage. I tried your pattern last night and it turned out really well. Again many thanks. God bless
Do a search for Mocilla Bag and you'll see what back loop looks like. I also think there's a Facebook group that teaches how to make the Mocilla Bags. :-)
The surgery was over a decade ago and, as long as I don't over stress it (like holiday crochet, lol), it healed very well. THANK YOU for your well wishes.
This is an amazing video in so many ways. I've spent the past 3 days looking for a solution to my problem and finally I found it! Not only is your footage of crocheting extremely clear, you're a natural performer. The intro is concise and shows your joy for teaching crocheting. Please continue to make videos like this, so, SO helpful!
Thank you SO MUCH, Katie. 3 days, wow. I'm glad I could help.
I’m making teddy bears for Samaritan’s Purse and have tried to find how to change the colours. This is the only video that makes sense. Thank you
💯💯👋👋👍👍🌹🌹
So awesome!!!!
Very well done- you speak clearly, at a good pace and without a lot of useless blather, or annoying music and noise in background. lighting and Camara angle really good, demo and tips excellent. THANK YOU ! Please make more, you’re a real pro!
Thank you SO MUCH
I giggled when I saw the bobby pin- that’s exactly what I use! They work great! 😊
As I'm making videos I'm learning there are a lot of folks that use bobby pins. I'm glad you giggled. 😊
Me too ❤️
I am now! I was using fish hook earrings but they slipped off a lot. Bobby-pins are the best!
Hahaha, i felt related , i use it a lot , very smart idea 😄✨
Thank you so much for taking the time to show people how to do this. I have no idea where I would be without this kind of stuff right now. Thank you
I've watched several videos on this and this is the *only* video I found that was so well-explained! You're such a patient and incredible teacher!

I've never been called a master before. I actually had to read this to one of my friends. Thank you kindly (I've been smiling since I read this.)😊
Life saver! Just ripped out hours of work on a yoga mat bag because the pattern was so ugly not lining up and the instructions never explained how to make this right. THANK YOU! Once more into the fray!
Me too!!! Took it all apart.
😂
You explained this so well. Best video ever. Now my rounds with color changes look great. Thank you.
Hi Sandy, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.
Thank you a million. 65+ years of knitting & crocheting and FINALLY I get it.... the circle join!! And the bobby pin is genious!
I'm so glad I could help. At 65+ years of crafting, you have me beat :-)
I’m so glad I found you only too late!! I’m from Michigan and a Detroit Lions fan. For Christmas I made 7 different beanies for the Fam… Color change Hawaiian Blue with gray and I was so dissatisfied, because of the seams🥲🤪.
I’m looking forward to make a couple more beanies, with your technique 👍

Thank you for those wonderful tips. I will be "abusing" my stitches accordingly. Got you on my subscriptions list.
LOL, I couldn't think of another word. That happens when I get in front of the camera. Abuse away! 😉
Thank you so much for the tutorial! It's very clear and easy to follow. Thanks also for showing full loops and back loops only!

Your video was perfect, the pace, the technique, the explanation. Thank you so much! Hugs🤗
Wow, thank you for the compliment. That sure makes my day
I haven’t had to do this yet but if I need to you’ve shown me how it’s done. Thank you. By the way you had me completely hooked at your introduction

And BOOM there was your video. You explained it so well. I'm going to try it myself because I love Amirgrumi. Is one of my passions.
That is so awesome, I'm so happy that the video was there to help you - when you needed it. Thank YOU for the nice comment.
Thank you, Sandy! This is going to take my crochet items to the next level.
You're very welcome. There's a lot of little tips like this that really help in big ways. One of my goals is to get all of them out there.
It was amazing! I love the way you explain stuff, you leave no space for misunderstanding. I'm a beginner but I got it with no problem.
Fantastic method of joining and so easy too. Thank you for sharing.
Just purchased my first book on tapestry crochet and I am finally getting the courage to start. Your tutorial made it easy for me to see the difference between a visible and an invisible join. Loved the bobby pin, I use paper clips. Keep the videos coming.
Your first book on tapestry crochet, what an adventure. Be careful or you'll be hooked for life, lol. I'm glad I was able to help. The bobby pin started decades ago. Bread wrapper closing tabs work pretty well too. :-)
Very detailed. Thank you for repeating so many times! You do it enough times so I can really GET it, not just see it.👍 Your crochet is really art. New subscriber!
You are very welcome. Way back in school (about 40+ years ago, lol) I was told that to teach you need to repeat about 3 times, trying to use different words. I'm not always good at using different words, lol. I'm glad this helped you.
I’m only three years younger than you, I remember the use it three times and it’s yours😉. It’s so true.👍
I didn't know that you are the change the color guru, I have been waiting for 45 years. I'm suddenly embarrassed to say that but I thank you too much for it. Because I would make a really pretty amigurumi or what not, and I was so unhappy with the lalaloopy of colors lol.🙏
Thanks for simplifying this Circle join! I have never had the nerve to try tapestry crochet!
Be careful, you'll get hooked (pun intended). Once you start tapestry crochet, you'll love it. Check out my channel, I'm doing free lessons. You're very welcome.
I mainly do Amigurumi so I use single crochet mostly - thank you sandy - great video 👏👏
This is one of the best crochet channels out there. I have been wracking my little beginner brain for the last couple of days wondering why some channels recommend a circle join while others don’t and now I know !!!! Thank you !!!!🙏
What a wonderful comment. THANK YOU.
@@CrochetFiberArt Most welcome 🙏
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial Sandy-Maree. In answer to your questions, I mainly crochet amigurumi so the majority of my crochet is in the round. However, I am learning to make mochila bags and your tutorial has made my colour changes so much neater!!
You're Welcome. I love crochet in the round. I'm so glad this has helped you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is kind of you to do this, especially after having hand surgery. I wish you and your loved ones well.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
Ohhhhh My Goodness this is One of the Best instructions I have found in a long time❣❣❣Thank You Soooooo Much for your Time and Love of Crochet❤ To teach us how to do the Perfect Looking Creations ❤❤ You Are a 😇💝💗💓💐⚘👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're very welcome. Perfect comes with time, lol. Glad I could help.
This is the best colour change tutorial, I’ve watched lots of videos and this is definitely the best easy and very effective 👍🏻🧶🧶🧶🧶thank you 😀
I absolutely love your video. It has helped me tremendously. I still need to refine it but I am really pleased with the difference it’s made in my amigurumi.
Wow, this is excellent! Very professional indeed! Thank you very much for this helpful technique that I will apply to my future crochet projects.
Thank you - very clear instructions - I will be back for more!!!!!🤗🤗🤗
Your techniques are absolutely amazing! I’ve been crocheting for a while and a lot of online info and videos goes through the same 5-10 tips. But I haven’t heard your tips anywhere and they are so great!
You're very welcome. I think it might have something to do with my age, lol. I'm 64 and part of my learning came from little old Ladies about 50 years ago. So these aren't new. Just very old and almost forgotten. :-)
i have only been crocheting for about 6 months, followed lots of tutorials as well as a friend showing me. This tutorial helped clear up a lot of stress i had trying to change colour and join my circle seamlessly in the round. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thank you for saving me!
Good morning Sandy, I just came across your channel. I absolutely love you already 😘 your so pleasant to listen to. I look forward to seeing more of your work.😍😍😍 Have a fabulous day. 😗
Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful compliment. You just made my day. Make it a wonderful day, multimama.
@@CrochetFiberArt 😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so very much for creating this video! You are so good at teaching us how to do the Invisible Join! I hope you have been doing well since you made this video a few years ago.
Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! It goes at a perfect pace and the camera shows the technique very clearly! One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
Thank you, so much, for your wonderful words. You've really made my day. :-)
Thank you ! I'm a new crocheter and this tutorial is priceless to me.
I have never met a person that explains things better then you do! I am so glad I found your videos! :) My crochet projects have never looked better. Thank you!
Wow, thank you. Megan
Thank you so much.
Thank you! This makes such a beautiful, flawless color change.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The more you practice the better it looks.
Thank you for this, I have searched high and low for a method that won't jog every time I join!!! Clearly explained and well illustrated. Love from Christine in China.
I'm so happy this has helped you. Thank YOU for the compliment.
@@CrochetFiberArt I had been watching countless videos on this and this is the only method that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Now my amigurumi will look beautiful thanks to your method.
@@christinedownes4799 Awww, thank you. I'm so glad this works for you.
Thank you so much! I'm making my first amigurumi mini pig! For my father in law for his birthday! It's back and white and I've never needed to do the perfect color change before! Looks complicated but you make it so simple with ur directions!! Greatly appreciated 💜
You are very welcome. :-)
I have been searching for this technique for ages. This is the best out there and it actually works. Thank you very much. Brilliant! xxx
I'm glad it helps you. Thank you, very much, for your nice comment.
I use a drop earring to stitch mark lol ,but I love your bobby pin too. I hope to finish my Amigurumi Bumble Bee with even stripes now. Thank you for taking the time to share your creative experience. Hope to see more Videos Sandy Happy New Year🐝🧶🎉🎊
Thank you for sharing this technique. You explained it so well. Gonna try this out. ❤️
You are VERY welcome! Let me know how your first try goes :-)
The best tutorial to changing colors that I could have found! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much. You've made my day. :-)
Love all three vidz so far, thank you very much,More please.
Thank you, Andrea. Every Tuesday another one is released.
Lol, What you mean to say .... I must wait until tomorrow? Gosh another whole 24 hours, Ahhhhhhhhhhh. LOL
Yep, sorry about that. :-) I'm 62, I don't do a lot of things fast, lol.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It made it very easy to understand! I've been doing amigurumi for a bit now and this will help it look just that bit better 😊 Recently I've tried doing back loop single crochet for amigurumi and have really been enjoying how it looks!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for letting me know you're enjoying both the circle join and back loop. It really warms my heart to know people are using things like this.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I don't know you but I feel that I want to give you a big hug for making this video!!!
Hugs are always welcome. {{{hugs}}} 😀😊👍
Thank you, I'm starting a mosaic blanket and in the pattern after every round it called for an invisible join and I didn't know what that was and you explain it so perfectly
Oh my, a Mosaic Blanket! I sure wish there was a way to share pictures here on RUclips comments. I'd love to see it. You are welcome and I'm glad the video helped you.
Thank you for this invisible join, have been wanting to get rid of the jagged join in spiral crocheting! I am also hoping to perfect colour columns in the spiral crocheting, just does not work on the spiral , it just no longer looks like columns
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just ripped my sweater apart to restart with this tip. I'm so much happier with the results.
😂 you hate to do that but you were so happy to have learned that clean color change, ha! Happy for you
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm working on honing my skills as I, too, have retired early to devote all my time to produce fiber art crafts. :)
You are very welcome. It's always nice to know there's others that are "at" the same age and doing about the same thing. Good Luck!
Me too!
Finally I found you. This is so helpful and have subscribed instantly. You’re a fantastic teacher and offer so much help for some of us trying to master this craft.
Thank you so much and look forward to watching other training videos.
I’m looking for one on color changes and Bobbles LOL, I can’t seem to get my colors to NOT show through 😂
Nothing wrong with yarning under, especially if you are doing tapestry crochet or amigurumi. Thanks for the tips!
This is the BEST video for this technique that I have seen.
Thank you very much! :-)
Oh my, thankyou thankyou for this detailed tutorial, what a game changer for me, I'm just starting out in amigurumi, and working on my skills before making a pattern that I bought for inspiring me to practice before so attempt it...of course I'm now your newest subscriber⚘ when a lesson is needed a teacher will appear....Hello teacher⚘
I'm so, SO glad I was able to help you. 😀
Such a lovely clearly instructed video! Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the instructions. I had to watch the video a couple of times. I don't think I'll bother with the circle join unless I were changing colors. I use stitch markers to mark the ends of the rows. I will try this method. It almost looks as if a stitch is skipped at the end of each row, but I now see that is where the circle join occurs.
You are exactly correct. The stitch that looks like it's skipped is where the join happens. And there isn't any reason to do the join, unless you are changing colors, you're right again :-)
Just want to say that you explained things very clearly. I hadn't come across the circle join before, handy to know for future projects! I'm going to watch your other videos for more useful crochet tips. Thank you.
You're very welcome. Glad I could help.
Thank you Sandy, for a very clear explanation, I have been struggling with this.
Thank you for this tutorial it help me so much and you are a excellent teacher ❤️
Thank you, thank you for such an easy way of changing colours in the round. I have tried another way of doing this, however, I found quite complicated and difficult to manage. I tried your pattern last night and it turned out really well. Again many thanks. God bless
You are very welcome.
I have recently started doing amigurumi animals and your video explain clearly to me how to do colour changing in a good invisible way. Thank´s!
I'm so glad I could help.
I always do full loop simply because I've never seen back loop before! I've been crocheting for almost 20 years and I still have so much to learn!
Do a search for Mocilla Bag and you'll see what back loop looks like. I also think there's a Facebook group that teaches how to make the Mocilla Bags. :-)
excellent tutorial, very clear and helpful. the best I have seen. Thank you very much
You've very welcome. Thank you for leaving such a nice comment.
Thank you for your talent. I understand now. Your the best. Happy Holiday's. God bless. You Rock.
You are very welcome, Randi. I'm glad this helped you. Happiest of Holiday's to you as well.
Thank you for this excellent teaching of a tricky procedure..
You're very welcome.
Crochet Fiber Art Thank you love, no problem!! Deb x
Excellent tutorial! I hope your hand is feeling better.
The surgery was over a decade ago and, as long as I don't over stress it (like holiday crochet, lol), it healed very well. THANK YOU for your well wishes.
