As soon as that bit of straw pinged away cause you weren't holding on to it and then the jarring of the table and the popping of the light happened, I pressed like. You just took it all in your stride. I imagine looking after all your kids has taught you that. Youre a beautiful person, inside and out. God bless.
Thank you so much, I used a Silicone Straw and Pony Bead lacing for my I hook to replace my Tunisian I hook which didn't work for me because it was so hard to habg onto without the flat part for your thumb and finger. I have arthritis and can't grip tight and the hook would constantly twist and I would have to use my fat handled I hook to cast on for Tunisian which takes twice as long. I was so glad to see your video.
Ok- I have been dreading purchasing interchangeable crochet hooks because of the horror stories of snagging, curling and completely coming apart. Now I can use the hooks I already have & just get some JELLY CORD?! 👏🏽See a need- fill a need- I love the ingenuity👏🏽 THANK YOU 👑QUEEN👑 !
Thank you so much for posting this! My heart stopped when I saw the price tag on the cabled hooks! I have everything but the jelly cord. Can’t wait to try it out!!!!!
My wife just learned about Tunisian Stitches and wanted the hooks that go with it, Thank you for posting this I think we can make them out of an old set of regular Crochet Hooks and will safe us some money instead of buying a new set. We are going to try to use electrical shrink tubes instead of the plastic tubes. Wish us luck.
You, ma'am, are a GENIUS!! I've tried a bazillion different Tunisian hooks and hated them all because they just don't work right for me. With this I can make my own! Thank you so much!!
This is the kinda stuff I stay up late to watch. I do Tunisian crochet everyday with good hook sets but there is no reason for me not to try your amazing diy Tunisian hook method! You are a very clever genius! :)
Oh thank you! I live out away from town and didn’t want to make a trip in or wait for mail order! Yahweh Almighty bless protect and prosper you and yours!
I've been thinking of how to make my own Tunisian hooks & you nailed it perfectly! I was thinking of fishing line. Thank you so much for the diy video.
I'm so glad I found your video!!! I got silicone straw tips from Amazon - strong and secure and some elastic cord for bracelet making. As I'm making a king tunisian blanket, I'll use it or some heavy weight fishing line. Perfect! Thanks SO MUCH!
Thanks for sharing. Just what I was looking for in my first attempt at turnisian crochet. A tip to help if the straw is a bit loose or keeps coming off would be to rub the end of the crochet hook first some rubbing alcohol (causes the rubber to become tacky and will stick better when dry).
Love this idea! Do you ever have trouble with the plastic snagging on the yarn or pulling stitches out of shape? If so, do you have any ideas for how to prevent that?
You are a genius! I love the hooks with thumb rest and they don't come in interchangeable tunisian. For smaller needles, I'm gonna dig out my husbands high heat air gun and shrink the plastic straw to fit. It might be permanent, but that's ok.
I have a few questions. How much weight will jelly cord handle. It tends to stretch. yarn can get heavy when making large items. Can you suggest a wire instead of jelly cord
I wondering if you take a shrink tub instead of the straw because you can shrink it to the hook . But will it hold good . Thanks so much planning on making this .
Good idea, but you could also substitute the jelly cord for another kind of cord and the bead for an old button or bottle cap. No need to buy anything.
This is very inventive! Can I ask why the one you made is 6ft long? I Tunisian crochet too and just wondering how long I’ll make mine if I make one. Thank you for the video.
well, you are very clever. I will have to try this. I just bought a long Tunisian hook, but no cables, with my coupon to get a % off. I was wondering how to make blankets with just a regular T. hook. I haven't made anything Tunisian yet but I really want to learn.
Genius!! I bought a cabled Tunisian crochet hook and it's too rigid. No amount of steam or boiling or stretching has helped it relax. Every stitch, the cord whips back and forth and I hate it!

Can we use like an old braided cable from earphones or cable chargers too?

Heat shrink tubes work great to like alot electricians use to join small wires etc it can be done with heat from torch lighter or blow dryer
I like your hair!

What’s a shrink tub?
Very helpful & super easy, thank you! ❤
Genius! I’m going to use my UV risen and see if I can hold cord on a hook instead of a straw.

Mama Wacky I made it long because I’m making head wraps, but it’s really up to the individual, as to how long you make it. 😘

Hey thanks for sharing!
You’re are welcome, thanks for stopping by 😘😘
GENIUS!
this is a cool video. I'm am looking for how to lengthen my clover crochet hooks.
Thank you!🤗
Genius!! I bought a cabled Tunisian crochet hook and it's too rigid. No amount of steam or boiling or stretching has helped it relax. Every stitch, the cord whips back and forth and I hate it!
Love that!!!
Very nice
Brilliant!!!
amazing! thank you
I imagine if the straw is too big then you could also use some tape around the end of the hook to get it to fit more snugly
🥰 thank you 💕
Thank You 🥰
Yes!
What size is your crochet hook
Paula Mckay this crochet hook is a 8.0mm
