I will let you decide. Does it look harder or easier to “knit” this way? In the round i say definitely yes its easier but haven’t decided, myself, with flat.

Steve had a really good idea for lunch. It was tasty. And we only ate about half of those chips. They were saltier than we remembered. Thats ok we have some for snacking or lunch another day. Sorry for the poor sound quality. Apparently I have dropped my phone a few too many times. 😂

I finished this hat today. I knitted it with a cabled tunisian crochet hook without the return stitch. I used 4 double end tunisian hooks to finish it off. This took me 3 days which, for me, is a record finish time for a knit hat. Check my previous 2 videos on this hat to see and hear about more of the process. Music used in this video is from iMovie Music “Sun Room” by Charlie White

Have I simplified knitting or made crochet more complicated? This way of doing tunisian knit (without the return stitch) in the round is much less stressful for me than using knitting needles. I know this idea of mine needs a bit of tweaking but I see this concept as a total game changer for me knitting hats, and maybe other things

It’s not very often I make a WIP Wednesday video. I actually had time today, just barely, before I was interrupted with a customer. I am hoping to finish this within the next month to use it as a Country Fair project. Not gonna get my hopes up yet though. What are you working on today?

I have my best thinking moments when i can’t sleep or first thing in the morning when I’m not quite awake. I had a revelation about the tunisian crochet experiment I shared a couple days ago. Video i made a few days ago on this same idea: Cool Tunisian Crochet Experiment. I think It May Be A Game Changer 😮 https://rumble.com/v4yqfjf-cool-tunisian-crochet-experiment.-i-think-it-may-be-a-game-changer-.html

Sister and I divided up some things that Mom had. No worries if she needs yarn or different hooks we will get them for her. Stuff just needed moved and this was the easiest way to accomplish the yarn part.

These hats need a little fixing but they may be the last of the Mom Hats 😢

The plant hanger is almost completely finished. Just a few minor details left. In the mean time I have started a knit washcloth FREE BERNAT CROCHET HANGING PLANT TRIO PATTERN: https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/bernat-crochet-hanging-plant-trio Free Kaleidoscope Dishcloth Pattern: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/kaleidoscope-dishcloth-knitting-pattern-by-fiddlestyxtm (All shared patterns are FREE at time this video was published)

I like crochet and i like knit and i like tunisian crochet but not so much tunisian knit because it is so bulky and curly. However this tunisian experiment is a game changer……except for my dropped stitch 😢

I guess this is my first “official” Stitch Your Library video. I am restarting a project I started about 9 months ago. This time I like the yarn color combination. 2 strands of size 4 yarn to make a bulky weight. I think this project will look fab-tabulous when it is finished 🤩 I also give a little update on mom.

Just sharing my recent polka dot squares and a tunisian bag that I have completed since my last yarny video.

I needed some specific hooks but my hook bag was a mess. Join me as I organize my hook bags…..and see what I carry around with me all the time.
