I am amazed on how you are able to decipher those instructions, you are indeed the best crochet instructor. Love your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you for doing it. ❤
You amaze me. I both knit and crochet. I can knit a pair of socks on a "0" kneedle which is very small. Using that size crochet hook. Not going to happen . You won't find 2 stitches the same size regardless of how much I try. That skinny thread does not like me. You go girl. I truly enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming. ❤❤
this series is so addicting!! before watching this channel i was never really into working with thread or yarn smaller than worsted weight and now i’m working detailed vintage doily patterns! vintage patterns are just so interesting to me for some reason, so thank you for helping me find my newest obsession!
This is one I would enjoy seeing you work up again now that you have the picture and know what it is supposed to look like. Doing so might also help to understand what the pattern writer meant by certain phrases, which could come in handy for future mystery patterns!
I only recently discovered the channel, watched some mystery videos and am thrilled. Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one crocheting, pausing, puzzling, etc. along with the video. Am I crazy?
I guess it is worth considering that your mystery pattern might be an edging worked vertically. In that case, nothing will ever look symmetrical and it will seem as if you are doing something wrong when in fact, you are creating all kinds of interesting flourishes. Our minds want us to assume that we are working something straight and symmetrical😄
yknow what might be a fun idea for a video? crocheting a pattern with mistakes in it and trying to find and fix those mistakes. i got a pattern for a doily off of ravelry that had been incorrectly transcribed from an old book. i was able to complete the doily but it was an interresting (if annoying) challenge to figure out what i was actually supposed to do as i went. obviously i dont think anybody who made mistakes writing a pattern should be shamed for it so perhaps it would be better to have someone alter a pattern to add mistakes to it instead of finding some unsuspecting person's broken pattern. that way you also have the correct pattern for comparison so you can check your work when youre done
Oh my Goodness that was so fun. You did way better than I would have. I didn't understand most of that pattern. I loved it too, the only problem is that we don't know how to do them the right way now. Maybe you could do a video with the corrections of the ones you don't get exactly right looking at the pattern so we can make them too. I seriously can not believe how close you got to that darn pattern! Job well done! Blessings and thanks for yet another wonderful video!
I would LOVE for you to do a LIVE! I would be yelling at you but in a nice way telling you the open crochet was defined on the first page! You did a great job! Much better than most people could have done. ❤❤❤
I would love for her to do some lives too. How fun would that be to talk to each other as she was trying to do a pattern or even just to talk to her and everyone else.
It's just so hard with the instructions, they're right when they say a picture paints a thousand words. Great fun as always 🩷 Can the bro crochet? How about a vid of him trying? 😁😁😇
I´m getting hooked on those mystery crochet projects! (Pun intended). And I always want to see a do over after the picture is revealed. It´s perhaps not an obvious choice on a Saturday night to watch someone crochet for almost an hour but you make it so much fun that I can´t stop watching 😊
I really admire your skill and expertise in everything you do in this series, I don’t care if it doesn’t come out right, I enjoy the process you go through. You rock, thank you!
I have done filet crochet a lot in the past. Both from vintage patterns and newer ones. I have very old crochet hooks as well some are not even marked. I prefer crocheting with thread and my grandmother preferred yarn. In the older patterns, a closed square was 4 dc, and open was a ch 2 , sk2, dc in next. I found that when I do that I get rectangles and not squared. I did a newer pattern and the creator used a 3 dc for a closed square and a ch1, sk1,1dc and for me that is square. I have also graphed out older patterns as it is much easier to work from. I just bought graph paper. If you really come across a pattern you like, graph it out for later use again. My most ambitious project was a native american in full headdress. Now with mouse holes ugg. I graphed out a pattern for a horse from a picture and the finished product is much larger than the piece was originally. It was a photo of a piece for a chair arm cover doily. When done, it fit the back of a 6ft couch. I tried the chain in size 80 thread and that was too big for a chair arm. I had an unmarked crochet hook that was smaller than the steel size 14 I use to attach beads to my tatting work. Using it on size 80 thread to make a doll house piece it broke. I cried.
It reminds me of the "Blind Men And The Elephant" poem. Trying to guess what it's supposed to be, just by having part of the shape, operating in the dark. I'm learning a lot watching you. I know if I was trying to learn from someone in person, it would be very stressful. I couldn't grasp it, and there would be a lot of anxiety/frustration/impatience between teacher and student. So much better to be able to rewind and look again, stop when my brain is fried, and go back another day. This is a really good idea you had to make these videos. Thank you.
I simply love your channel. I’m a kind of beginner. I can crochet but I can not for the life of me read a pattern. At 61 yrs old. This year I’m going to learn. Yes I am. … going to give it my best shot anyway. Lol ❤
Corinna just finished the edging..I love your toots and love watching you trying to figure these out! Today my hand is in a brace….but absolutely hope I can crochet again…I can’t quite understand how peeps don’t understand that things change….I just got a 1970 book of patterns and the terms confuse me…l.ahhh Corinna you are the coolest diva on TH-cam ❤❤❤
You have a lovely voice! I’m off work due to knee so I’ve taken up the hook and totally hooked now. I’ve never been able to follow a written pattern so thank you for deciphering for me.
That was fun…..I guessed correctly where we put 12 DC in the Ch-8 sp that this was an edging. So fun! I was wondering if you’d be short. Can’t wait for the next mystery pattern….anyway we did all agreed that it’s your Brother’s fault…..lol 😉 I crochet along with you……it would be helpful if you could do a good, full screen shot of the written pattern as you begin so I might grab a screen shot. . . . . . If that’s allowed ❤️❤️❤️
Delightful as always! The mistake was in Row 3; you missed out one open crochet, i think, and that's why your 12 DCs started too early, they should have all gone into the ch8 loop. You MUST have heard me screaming at the screen "Go back, GO BACK ! You missed one!!!" 😄
Hello Roger! Since Corrina threatens to blame you if her projects turns out badly, do you get credit for her beautiful work? I think you did a great job on this convoluted old pattern! It's stunning! You're one brave lady - I automatically pass on patterns with no pic! I can only imagine how frustrating it is for you to explain in each of these videos how to translate old crochet stitches to today's terms - or that you are working from a UK pattern, just to have people question you in the comments! I'm just a viewer, but I want to SCREAM when I read those questions/complaints!!! Fortunately, most of us seem to watch every minute of your videos in the hopes that we will learn something from you! You're awesome!!!😉
Alright..Alright..Alright, another fun mystery pattern. I don't know, I probably would have made the same mistakes, you were pretty close. This was a less bumpy ride on the Mystery journey :D, THX for the video ;).
I enjoyed this one. It is always fun to second guess you but you are more experienced and are usually right in the end. I have enjoyed these so much that I have sent you a package. Please keep going... I love it!
Corinna, I never feel as if you messed up on any of these patterns because the minute you see the picture you know how it should be. I enjoy watching your videos.
You did great! What a pretty pattern! Now, you could go back and with the picture, recreate it - should you want to. You are such a good teacher. Thank you. 😊
You did brilliant for this blind mystery challenge in my opinion,im no way an expert but i found this exciting to watch,and yes the picture of the edging is really lovely ,definitely grecian ,looking forward to your next one.
Thos reminds me of typing class. We get a sheet of instructions to follow(use Letters and numbers plus symbols). Only three do overs, minus one letter grade. Resulting in a picture.
When I was young and new to crochet I learned the different books had a different way of counting from each other and you had to learn what they meant not what they said
Just wanted to let you know, if you look at the page in the beginning of the video, where it tells you what a long crochet is, it also lets you know what they want you to do with an open crochet 😊
I've only got as far as the end of row 3. In my mind I've seen the work look like a fish and now I think it's a ship, though, why anyone would crochet a ship I don't know. I find watching you puzzle so interesting and some of my guesses are spot on others way out. Thank you for making my day so much fun.
It confused me, too, because on the stitch definition page, it says "open crochet" is the same as our filet crochet, but the picture shows square stitches, not rectangles. With a expensive as publishing a book was back then, you'd think they would have tested the patterns better 😅
You are truly knocking it out of the ball park!! Congratulations on your perseverance! Love watching the videos and trying to guess what the article is. It's the hi-lite of my evening....pretty sad right? Lol take care
Great work Corinna. Redemption feels wonderful. Now part of me was half expecting to see the sample your brother worked! He picked pattern kinda feel like could have tried crocheting it🤣🧡
I'm really enjoying these video's. Is there a secret to working with the thread? I've tried many times and have a super hard time working with it. You make it look so easy. Keep making these videos you're so very good.❤

Agreed! I think that's great. I hoped it brings you great joy!
Wow. Idk how you’d get that last row in any way without a picture.
Quit being so hard on yourself for your last pattern. Ya did really good for how it was written!! It was still very enjoyable to watch.
This is one I would enjoy seeing you work up again now that you have the picture and know what it is supposed to look like. Doing so might also help to understand what the pattern writer meant by certain phrases, which could come in handy for future mystery patterns!
I agree, I'm sure it would look so fine.
Me too!
Same
I only recently discovered the channel, watched some mystery videos and am thrilled. Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one crocheting, pausing, puzzling, etc. along with the video. Am I crazy?
I am enjoying this series. The word you want to use is taut, not taunt. Taut is tight, taunt is provoke.

Oh my morning, my mum had one of these across the tea table with tapered ends and tassel, it was lost over the years Ty, VM,!!

Hi Corinna, you have so much courage attempting these without seeing the pictures first❣️. Great job 👏 👏👏
You do a wonderful job crocheting blindly! I like to look at completed projects when I am following a pattern! 👍
Thank you! 😊
DONT SKIP YOU MISS ALL THE FUN LOL, YOU DID BRILLIANT
I don't like to fast forward the video, I love the fun of not knowing and having a surprise at the end of it ❤
I would LOVE for you to do a LIVE! I would be yelling at you but in a nice way telling you the open crochet was defined on the first page! You did a great job! Much better than most people could have done. ❤❤❤
I would love for her to do some lives too. How fun would that be to talk to each other as she was trying to do a pattern or even just to talk to her and everyone else.
A live would be very cool, I think I'm in a very different time zone to you, so I would probably miss it, but I could do a real time follow along.👏
It's just so hard with the instructions, they're right when they say a picture paints a thousand words.
Great fun as always 🩷
Can the bro crochet? How about a vid of him trying? 😁😁😇
he can not lol, I have tried to teach him

Yay! Thank you!

Good job! This looks like a really WIDE edging! And it is unusual because the rows would be vertical rather than horizontal!
Amazing! You did pretty well without a picture lol. Very very close!!❤
I simply love your channel. I’m a kind of beginner. I can crochet but I can not for the life of me read a pattern. At 61 yrs old. This year I’m going to learn. Yes I am. … going to give it my best shot anyway. Lol ❤
I love watching these!! They are a lot of fun. Row 3 is where you messed up but you made it work! Your work is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Very cool! Would love to see you do it with the image now 😁
Good fun to watch. The instructions for that last row are certainly bamboozling. I think you did really well.
Corinna just finished the edging..I love your toots and love watching you trying to figure these out! Today my hand is in a brace….but absolutely hope I can crochet again…I can’t quite understand how peeps don’t understand that things change….I just got a 1970 book of patterns and the terms confuse me…l.ahhh Corinna you are the coolest diva on TH-cam ❤❤❤
Ohh awesome!! and thank you soooo much :)
you have the best tone to your voice!!!
You did very well knowing having no photo and you was very close all good ❤
You have a lovely voice! I’m off work due to knee so I’ve taken up the hook and totally hooked now. I’ve never been able to follow a written pattern so thank you for deciphering for me.
I would have totally goofed this up! Wow! Just do it again and you'll get it right!
Maybe you should only do 6 Chain for 8 chain 😊😂❤
You did pretty good considering it's a continuous join !!! Thanks!!!
That was fun…..I guessed correctly where we put 12 DC in the Ch-8 sp that this was an edging. So fun! I was wondering if you’d be short. Can’t wait for the next mystery pattern….anyway we did all agreed that it’s your Brother’s fault…..lol 😉

Hi Corinna-
Glad your bro is visiting! I haven’t seen mine in awhile I miss him.
Ok. On w/the video…
You did great! This was a very complicated pattern and you were diligent and clever
He was right, It was an easy one! Or At least it's easy to correct.
Considering the veagness of the pattern i think you did very well especially when I saw the picture.😊!
Thank you! 😊
You did not mess up..the one who pulled the number did...lol..Love your humor
Hahaha I’ll take it! 😁
I think you did a good job. The picture looks pretty.
You did better than I would have.
Alright..Alright..Alright, another fun mystery pattern. I don't know, I probably would have made the same mistakes, you were pretty close. This was a less bumpy ride on the Mystery journey :D, THX for the video ;).
Looks like a pretty boat
The key design is really nice.
This looks like it could be another cuff too. Thanks.
I enjoyed this one. It is always fun to second guess you but you are more experienced and are usually right in the end. I have enjoyed these so much that I have sent you a package. Please keep going... I love it!
Trust the process!! I love this series.

Wow! Girl you are Good!
So exciting every time. I'm guessing right along with you, Corinna! Like being at mystery murder dinner with everyone trying to decide "Who done it"!
❤😊 really enjoy your videos. Genius and help us to try those old and bra patterns.
Well done ,that one had me stumped.
Ah how fun that your brother is there! Hi Roger!
He said hiiiiiii ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thos reminds me of typing class. We get a sheet of instructions to follow(use Letters and numbers plus symbols). Only three do overs, minus one letter grade. Resulting in a picture.
How fun.... I love this series.. thank you so much for doing this 😊
You weren't far off ...well done
Very pretty and I really like this.. Going to make this. Thank you!!
Well done enjoy watching you and there are some i woild like to do as squares for a bed cover. Thank you
Looks so good! You do way better than I could do! Great work !
thank you :)
Great try! How would one connect them? Just repeat or stitch each seperate one together?
Ich liebe deine mystery patterns
Hi l am joanie who live in England and l always look at your video and l like the one you did please joanie
When I was young and new to crochet I learned the different books had a different way of counting from each other and you had to learn what they meant not what they said
Did you see how you inspired Engineering Knits to start a blind mystery knitting series? 😊
I did!! I was so excited to see that :)
It´s amazing how the pictures just clarifies the enigmatic writing... you did great!
Just wanted to let you know, if you look at the page in the beginning of the video, where it tells you what a long crochet is, it also lets you know what they want you to do with an open crochet 😊
No wonder you are so good at crochet. Your patience amazes me.
thank you :)
@@justvintagecrochet 🫶
Well done!! Great video!! Spend as much time with your family as you can life is way too short!! Thank you for sharing!! 😊😍😊
Boy, without the picture and only using the crazy pattern you rocked this one! Great attempt! Hugs

You did great, I really liked it too

Brilliant! Suspense right from the start! I LOVE these "mystery challenges" and you make them such fun to watch. Keep going!!
I think you did brilliantly. Great work. Love your videos.
