      How secure is the method for hiding tails on the granny’s? Does this last through many washes? I’ve only made 1 granny and it fell apart after a few washes and never tried another.

      Hi there! Love these game changers- if you help with the one where you change colors. Do weave the ones you pull out or cut off to secure the color you stop using when adding a new color. Sorry I’m still kinda new to this.

    For me my game changer is a make-up sponge on my hook. It is in the shape of an hourglass well sort of. I push the hook threw the center and it seriously gives me finger with some nerve damage a vacation so to speak. I was beginning to think I would have to give up crochet and that just wasn't an option. Happy crocheting I'm going to read others comments now. Everyone have a blessed day.

    My biggest game changer was finding tutorials on TH-cam in general. I taught myself from instructions that came with yarn a long time ago. I was never very happy with the details of my projects, but they were usable.
    From TH-cam I learned to abandon the chain 3 turn and instead use a attacked single crochet most of the time. I also abandoned the chain 1 turn for single crochet. I use them occasionally when it just doesn't work the other way.
    Oh, and using the back bumps of the initial chain!
    Mostly it was learning that crochet isn't science. There are different ways to do things and as long as I'm happy with the results, it's okay! The crochet police are not going to come get me 😅

    Hi Roz 😊
    Goodness you have taught me so many things that have made crocheting mote relaxing and took the frustrating parts away for me. The magic knot or fisherman join was one of my top 3 favorites. I had never heard of it. But I literally learn something from every video you post even if it's a subtle change. It still makes a difference in my life.
    I get spasms so bad and many techniques you have shown have helped so much. I love crocheting and even though I am still slower I can still enjoy it. Thank you Roz!😊❤
    I don't recall the P stitch. oh gosh now I forgot if you called it a stitch. Can you post that again please.

My personal life-changers in crochet have been the magic knot and using the stacked double crochet stitch instead of chaining three at the beginning of a row (for some projects) for keeping straighter edges and no open spaces in crochet projects.😊

    One of my gamechangers has been replacing chain three with the standing double crochet and chainless starting double crochet. Tamara Kelly-Moogly's was the first channel where I found them. Many others have picked them up since then. These stitches look better than chain three at the beginning of a row or round or at a color change. I love your video. These tips are very helpful!

    My game changer was the magic knot/fisherman's knot. That truly works so well and it is very easy to do after you get the hang of it. I do like the russian join too. Also, reading the comment from lindahoig, I'm wondering if you can list the clip of when you explained "the p in your stitch." It's not coming to mind for me.🤔 Another game changer is you, Roz. 🤗❤Your videos explain things so well and with depth of explanations. You are a great teacher. I'm sure all of us subscribers appreciate your weekly videos.💖

    Definitely my game changer is taking my projects everywhere I go. And doing my projects anywhere I have idle time. Good for those small to medium sized projects and even large ones as long as there are no complicated patterns. And yes, I brink my projects at work and do it there too 😅.

    Hi Roz and Biscuit. For me my game changer was admitting to myself that I needed to change over to ergonomic hooks. I have my Grandmother’s hooks and my Aunt’s hooks (which are two different styles of heads) and was always most comfortable with my Aunts (brand: Susan Bates). I used those hooks for years and always recommended them (and still do). But two years ago I purchased the Clover Amour ergo hooks (in all sizes) and it has made such a difference for me. My hands are less tired and I don’t feel like I’m going to drop the hook. And I’m back to working with fingering and lace weight yarn (although I admittedly work much slower!) but at least I can hold onto the hook. And my trusty neck light really helps with those darker colors. Thanks again for your fabulous tips and tricks! ❤💕❤

      Both are excellent. I can’t live without my ergonomic hooks so I can relate . I was seeing signs of tendinitis before I switched to them ❤️

      You can DIY with a metal hook and plasticine! I would suggest practicing on an op shop hook first though. Rough up the handle area with sand paper then mold a decent amount of bake-plasticine around the handle. Once you're happy with the amount and positioning... now you can mould it to your hand how you would use it when you work!
      Follow directions to bake. ❤️

    I don't read patterns I just see if the pattern looks good. Crochet is Art if it looks good to the eye Is fine with me. I love the magic knot and use it alot. I also take my scrapsof yarn a connectthem together and I make my own variegated yarn.

    My game changer is the carry forward method, I made a gingham check rug with constant colour changes and hardly any ends to sew in.

    For borders, my game changer was Around the Corner Crochet Borders book ... Taught me everything patterns never tell you about doing borders.

    Dear Roz and Biscuit,
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and I totally love these game changers…some I’ve heard of before!
    Have a Gelato for me 🍧😅 Enjoy your time off.
    I love having the “spindle holder” that I had help making so my yarn don’t get tangled when using many colours for a crochet project.
    God bless you always. Take care 🙏🏽🩷🧶😻🥰

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much ❤️I had plenty of gelato for you … sometimes 2 a day! 😆😅😅 😋
      The spindle sounds like a great idea!

      😋 Yum, definitely what I would do if I went back to Italy 😂
      Thank you, I used a plank of wood and measured two rows to put my 23 dowels in like a “zig zag” to allow space for the yarn if I’m going to be doing a project with lots of colour changes - I heard about making it on Alison Russell’s crochet channel and the one I made was similar to the one from ’Onedog woof’. 🙏🏽🩷😻🧶🐶🌷

    The stacked single crochet is my game changer. I will never use a turning chain again the stacked stitch looks the best.
