    15 years ago I made a twin size bedspread with crochet thread. I no longer remember how many balls I used, but it took me 2 years to complete. It's white, and I use beautifully colored sheets to set off the pattern. I made it to be an heirloom and I have 2 daughters already fighting over who gets it! I like labor-of-love projects! My mother made me a tablecloth for my hope chest 40 years ago (us old ladies remember hope chests). It's in the old fashioned pineapple pattern and every time I look at it, my heart melts that I have something so precious and that too is an heirloom I will pass down, even though no one I know uses them on tables anymore. I am also one of the few that likes Homespun. I've made numerous afghans and pillows. I found the trick is using a hook 2 sizes bigger than recommended. The afghans feel glorious to snuggle under! My favorite colors of yarn are earth tones too.

      I have crocheted a pineapple tablecloth with size 30 thread and am working on a full size pineapple bedspread out of white size 10 thread that will go over a solid purple queen size bedspread. It takes 78 balls of thread and I am on my 3rd one. It will take me awhile.

      I know exactly what you mean! My mom crochet a white thread bedspread...king size. She would haul it back and forth when she went to visit her ailing father. It took her years to finish also. Those labor - of - love projects are priceless.

      They go on, I'm 65 and have a bedspread and tablecloths thread crocheted by my great grandmothers. I display the tablecloths, but I do not actually use them for meals so they stay clean. My mother and grandmother did not do thread crochet (altho Grandma did knit & crochet), but I do. I'm not so ambitions, I only make doilies or occasionally a little bit of lace. I cannot imagine the time to make a bedspread or tablecloth!

    I just finished a Red Heart Ombré Coral Baby Blanket and it is beautiful. I’m making a blue one now and then mint. 2 skeins is enough to make a good size blanket and a couple of beanies so as the baby grows. It really softens up in washer/dryer. I loved Boye hooks til I tried Clover. Thanks for sharing, Crystal. 🙏🏻♥️💥🌈🎉

  • @yvonnetolentino1635

    I love working with threads. My favorite is Aunt Lydias #10. Just finished crocheting my dinning table cloth, placemats and runner. Last year I made large doilies for my end tables/nightstands, coffee table, large runner for my TV stand and window valances. Have a few projects lined up, two bedspreads and some tops for my daughter. Have to wait though *sigh*. On a tight budget. Can't afford buying yarns/threads like I use to anymore. Crocheting is all I do most of the day. Don't know what I'd do if I couldn't crochet anymore.

    • @Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree
      @Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel the same way. I had crocheted for 55 years when my rheumatoid arthritis took my crochet abilities away for awhile. Then I said too myself that I’m not going too let it happen. Now I crochet through the pain. If it gets too bad rest my hands.
      Oh I love to crochet with size 10 thread too. Before my hands got so bad, I crocheted with sewing thread. How I wish I could still do that! There’s a few doily patterns I love that I want to make in miniature.

    My fave hooks are Susan Bates. I have tried others and always come back to Bates. I have a Clover H hook that I bought because everyone raves about them and because I always seem to choose H or I hook I choose the H. I don't like the ends. They always slip on me. I miss stitches, drop stitches just a pain for me. I always hear that Bates snag the yarn, but I have never had that problem. Maybe because I started with them. I still have my first Bates blue H8 hook, although it isn't blue all over anymore. It has to be buried with me. ; -)

    • @lindahenderson3877
      @lindahenderson3877 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Alice Carnes I love Susan Bates to, I have one from my childhood that's made in the US, I treasure it.

    • @cubbylevi1764
      @cubbylevi1764 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alice Carnes I’ve mistakenly bought Susan Bates, then go on the hunt for Boye. Yes, they snag my yarn.

    • @BOBBYNBOO
      @BOBBYNBOO 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Alice Carnes I only use bates hooks, I have tried hero, Boye, clover, etc.I always go back to the bates, I have never had a problem with the yarn snagging....

    • @ninahannum1894
      @ninahannum1894 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same here. I have always loved my Bates hooks - I have Boye and Hero and clover, but never use them. Any tapered hook I try to use snags and splits the yarn.

    • @BeYou4You
      @BeYou4You 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think it's a matter of what feels good in your hands. I tried Susan Bates hooks but could never get the flow of my stitches. I found that I kept dropping stitches and getting my yarn tangled...maybe its just me but I don't want to think about my hook, I want to think about my yarn and stitch pattern which is why I don't use Susan Bates although I really wanted to like them! Boye regular crotchet hooks work for me. I wiz through my projects with great ease!

    Hi Crystal you are a joy to listen to I've learned a lot from you and I've written down a lot of patterns I'm making them as fast as I can keep doing everything that you're doing your marvelous

  • @rosemarycreollo4326
    @rosemarycreollo4326 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was drawn to this video because it shows Red Heart Unforgettable yarn in the intro. This morning, I finished my first project with this yarn and it is definitely my new favorite! I used the color Dragonfly and made an oversized triangle shawl for my oldest friend (46 years) and it is simply gorgeous! My sister loves it so much that I've ordered the same yarn to make the same shawl for her!
    The pineapple motif is my favorite pattern! I've used it in many doilies, a couple of shawl and I made myself a beautiful cream worsted weight queen bedspread. I also got about 50" done on a round cotton pineapple table cloth - I don't remember why I set it aside, but have never been able to determine where I was in the pattern! So sad!
    I love crochet and I love all of your videos Crystal! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

    I have been crocheting fo 60 years and love it as much today as I did when my grandmother taught me at age 9. I wanted to learn to make beautiful useful things with my hands. I love that crochet never gets boring. I love trying new yarns and stitch patterns. Seeing a project in my mind come together. Or teaching someone how to crochet and seeing the look on their face when they finish their first project. these are why I love crochet.

    Hi Chrystal, I have been watching you now for about a year and I am 71 years old and I have learned alot from you. I have been a knitting and crocheting for a long tine. I crochet alot for my 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren. I also love to crochets alot for the others. I work with My Counseling on Age, who give to the needed, specialty the kids and the elderly. So alot of your territorial has help me alot to do new projects.
    I also saw your territorial on the Big Knitting Machine, so I bought one and now I am going to teach myself to use it. I found in my the big book of stitchs that they are about 90 different ones. I was hoping you good someday have a territorial on some different ones. I find it so easy to follow you and learn faster then trying to read it!
    Lastly I was hoping you could do more things for Men! I am making one of your men sweater right now. Your husband is very handsome and models them so well!
    I had to adjust some of the measurements because my hubby has a medium size belly. Lol
    When ending I would like to tell you that I love your Territorial and your easy way of teaching them.
    One last funny thing to tell you that I can definitely relate to you about loving yarn. I have become addicted to buying yarn on SALE! I do alot of shopping on many sites too. I don't enter your giveaway because I have alot and I think that some one else in need could used it, besides my chances of winning are very slim with all your followers.
    I hope you have a Fantastic New Year and that you reach your goal of One Million followers, you deserve it.
    Well take care and be safe.
    A royal follower.

    I collect crochet hooks as well. My favorite yarn is I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. I can just make my afghans look better with it and it's so soft. I bought some unforgettable to try but I was having a bit of trouble but wow it's beautiful. I love seeing your background of all the yarn. My husband would faint if I had that much. Lol. But it's such a comfort to have it!

    I enjoyed this video. I tried to use thread after I got into crocheting, but it's too small for me to enjoy. And strains the eye! Having tried it I have so much respect and awe for those who can. For a gal who doesn't read patterns, you're an amazing teacher! I write down patterns in my own words, but I am so glad to be able to go back to your tutorials for reminders.

    I agree on all your Love/Hate list. You seemed to be in my head as you were explaining your thoughts on each!
    I used Walmart Mainstays for quick crochet placemats for a small party and I've used it for making blankets for the homeless. I guess it has its uses, but I personally hate the plastic-cheap feel.
    Definitely subscribing to your channel and thumbs up the whole way!

  • @patwagner9308

    Crystal, I know what you mean. I have been crocheting for 48 years. It's a passion. Some people think if you love to crochet, you'll love to crochet everything using every medium. Not so ! Not for me, at least. I do enjoy using crochet thread & the little steel hooks....& I love using yarn & aluminum hooks. But I do not enjoy making amigurumi. I don't enjoy making anything that requires making little pieces & then putting them together. I don't enjoy making flowers, for example, that require making little petals, little leaves, little stems & then piecing them together. I think amigurumis are cute but I don't want to make them.
    There are yarns that aren't fun to use. I made someone a scarf in a super fuzzy yarn once. I couldn't see any of my stitches !
    I'll never use that yarn again.
    I have a C Hero hook. I didn't realize they were hard to come by until I heard you talk about them! I've had mine for decades...can't remember where I got it.
    I appreciate your honesty....you do it w/ a sweetness. I always enjoy your podcasts ...including your tutorials which you do very well.

    Ice yarn has a yarn that looks SO much like unforgettable. I haven’t used unforgettable but am going to order some of this because it looks SO similar. It’s called “Rainbow” and they have some beautiful color ways. You should also check out “Baby Twist” beautiful rainbow colors with a grey or white.

    I love your videos and although I have crocheted and knitted for 60 years I look forward to your yarn opinion videos especially.
    I actually do thread crochet and my favorite is "filet" because following the pattern is like a jigsaw puzzle and a challenge, but I love to make sweaters and shawls with larger yarns too. The downside with the thread crochet is that when I work on something with a .75mm it can pierce my fingertip like a needle and over the years I have calloused them pretty good!
    I love your patterns and plan to get a baby blanket pattern from you for my baby granddaughter due this coming March! Again thank you for the great videos!

    I did a crochet shawl with the latte stripe for my hip mom. I didn’t particularly like crocheting with it, the yarn felt closer to 3 than a 4. However, I put it in the washing machine on cold water with my other clothes and fabric softener (which I never use). Still wasn’t that soft. Dried it on low heat and wow oh wow oh wow, so so so so soft. Just want people to know. Thank you Crystal so much for all your enthusiasm, great vids, and wonderful tips. ❣️🌷❣️

In my opinion, it's like crocheting a kitten. Not enjoyable at all. ... Where is the love for Caron Simply Soft? You got me hooked on that yarn :))

    I began crocheting with thread. I quickly moved away. I began crocheting with Boye hooks and move to Bates because I found myself crocheting so tightly with Boye. I have one Aero hook made in England. I do use the ergonomic hooks now due to arthritis ( may you never have arthritis🙏) and am back to Boye though I still use my Bates. I have my mothers hooks made in England and they are all Aero put out by Bernat about 50 years ago.
    I'm thankful the Mainstays brand is now of better quality since you made this video. It's about all I can afford. God bless y'all 😇💙.

    A couple of the colors were pretty, but it’s the material, weight and colors that I dislike and don’t use. I don’t care for earthtones and don’t like using four ply yarn. I love working with thread and yarn up to size 3.
    As for the crochet hooks, why stop here, ha ha. I love in-line crochet hooks such as Susan Bates. I cannot stand the tapered style such as Boye and Hero. As a matter of fact, if I can’t find the hook I enjoy, my project will not get made.
    But I just love watching your channel and picking up some design ideas. I think you rock!

    I'm a novice and yours were the first videos I could follow, so thank you for the spark that kept me going :) I 100% agree about the Mandala!! It was one of the first yarns I bought because in the beginning I bought what made my eyes twinkle, before I knew about weights, etc. I LOVE the colors but often struggle to figure out what to make with it. And I just bought Unforgettable yesterday!! The scrubby yarns I love because I make a back scrubber, washcloth, face scrubbie bath set with them and to under compensate for the harsh scrub and make it easier to work with, I double it up with a softer cotton yarn. It makes it SO much easier to handle and the scrub less abrasive :)

    Thanks Crystal for a great review. I used to love pound of love . Not the same anymore. I bought some to make an Afghan for a sick friend. Ended up using impeccable instead. I have a boye hook I bought in my teens. Paid 29 cents, it’s stamped on the hook. I’m now 71. Love your channel.

    Thank you for this yarn review, I agree with you with most of the yarn you like or dislike. I feel the same way about Mandala. I started running a baby weight or even a #2 white with it sometimes, and that is a gives it a nice affect and weight. Enjoy your visits and tutorials.

    We all have favorites and dislikes, but we also have a common thread.....we all love yarn!! I have a suggestion for a video Crystal so I hope you see this. I'd like to see one on how many wips others have going. I'd like to think I'm not the only one with MANY going.☺ I have a hard time not starting a new project when I make a yarn haul.

    I am like you I love all Yarns. I like how fast the blanket Yarns work up and I have just found that I don't mind working with the smaller crochet threads! But that's because I made a little credit card pouch to wear around my neck that way I never lose my credit cards! Thank you for your opinion I just scored my first hero hook in a bag of yarn I got from Goodwill

    I think that you are so funny, when you say, "you don't have to listen to me..." ! Of course we all have our lives & hates when it comes to yarn & hooks; I tip my hat t you for having the courage to say your opinion out loud! Truth never hurts anyone! Keep up the great work 👍 & I , for one, will keep watching! 😉 Till I'll next time 💚

    When I was little, my mom made me a couple of Barbie dresses in crochet thread & I remember absolutely loving them. I think they might be in storage somewhere, I know they were important to me.

    Love your tutorials as always totally agree with you about homespun and chrochet thread hard to work with. I never heard about your favorite hooks until I started following you. I don't nobody would ever hate on you. This is your opinion and you have the right to your own opinion. Thanks for the video.

    Hi, I love love the Unforgettable as well... I just stocked up on some more last night when I went to Jo-Ann. So you *can* still get it there at least.
    I forget what I paid for each skein.
    Oh they are so entirely beautiful though! 🥰🧡💯💛

    Watched this because I recognized Unforgettable in the thumbnail. I recently bought a bunch of wool sock yarn and bought that Unforgettable on impulse for the color blend and softness. The socks came out so soft and cushy and colorful!

    Crystal , I made my mother a huge blanket using the lion brand homespun, same color you showed as your dislike list . It was the first blanket I ever made and you are right, it is very hard to work with, what was I thinking . Blanket turned out beautifully, but it was difficult. Thanks for sharing , and thank you for your great videos. I have made so many if your baby dresses. Your videos are easy to follow and projects are great
    You just posted a long hooded poncho. Shawl thingie. I've been waiting so thank u so much thats my next project.

    I love Caron One Pound for afghans because it is so thick and squishy, and I love Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn for scarves and baby blankets because it is so soft, with so many beautiful colors. I feel the same way about Mandala yarn--I so wish It was a 4 weight!!!

    This is why there are so many types and colors. Everyone likes their own preferences. I respect all opinions. As far as Mainstay gies though, I almost bought some, but I too felt that it was cheaply made and was worried about knots and breakage. Happy crocheting!!
