I love your designs and am ever so grateful for all your videos! I've been crocheting for 40 years and am still learning new tricks. Thank you for teaching me these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I know I also "grab" the yarn differently than most people. I do have the hook in front of the yarn when I'm going to take a slight pause. However, most of the time I have the hook behind the yarn, grab it and pull it straight through. I have checked the end result and it does look the same to me. Tanis
My crochet story is similar. My grandmother taught me when I was very young to keep me out of her hair. Then in high school I relearned from a crochet book to make a poncho and haven't stopped since. Thanks for writing. Tanis
I too hold the hook this way--my grandmother taught me to crochet and said to hold it however was comfortable for me! I make lovely, even stitches, and have no problem with my tension. To the nasty troll who commented: Tanis has developed a new way to crochet and produced many, many patterns and beautiful pieces. I think you should consider holding the hook HER way.
Tanis, I hold my hook the same way you do. My hand goes numb enough as it is and it is even worse if I try to hold it any other way. Other ways of holding the hook also cause lots of cramping in my hand. I won't give up crocheting and holding it this way will keep that from happening.
I know my way of holding a hook isn't traditional. Due to a hand injury many years ago, I had to change the way I held a hook. Since I love crocheting and didn't want to give it up, I found a way to make it work for me.
Wow that was kinda harsh! As far as I'm concerned, I think it is neat how you hold the hook. My DD is convinced that she can't crochet because she can't seem to hold her hook like I do. I am always on the lookout to show her that people hold their hooks all kinds of ways and there is no wrong way. It's not crude, it is just what works for you! Can you start this pattern with the two pieces of foundation mesh first? Yours seems to have the front and back stitches first then starting the pattern.
Yes, it begins with two foundation meshes - Your B color is one box less than the A color foundation mesh. You can watch videos Step 1 Introduction, Step 2 Foundation Mesh, Step 3 Dcib or Back Stitch and Step 4 Dcif or Front Stitch for more information. Written instructions can be found in my blogs at InterlockingCrochet com. And I agree, the most important thing is to try crochet or anything the best way you can do it. Tanis
I wish you would start these videos from the very beginning with your chain. I was looking forward to learning these patterns from your videos but I can't pick it up from the middle of the work.
As it states in the description this is Step 4. If you want to learn Interlocking Crochet from the beginning, go to my channel Tanis Galik Playlists Interlocking Crochet and watch the entire workshop. Or you can go to InterlockingCrochet.com for the written instructions. Tanis
The meshes don't unite until the fabric is finished. Each row is worked separately. The design begins to show then. To see the complete tutorial on Interlocking Crochet go to the playlist Interlocking Crochet. It is a workshop that walks you through the technique. Then the videos demonstrating the various designs will make more sense. For written instructions go to InterlockingCrochet.com. Tanis
The B edge is a ch 4 which equals the edge dc + ch 1. When it is dropped to the back before the A row begins, the b edge is in the back. When it is dropped to the front before the A row begins, the b edge is in the front. This avoids having to pull the yarn back and forth through a box of the A color which ends up being a tangled mess when you turn your fabric around. The written stitch in the pattern is the next dc. So if your yarn is dropped to the back, the next dc could be a back or front dc depending on the design. That second dc completes the first box of the B row. I hope this helps. Tanis

i don't know how anyone can hold a crochet hook in that manner and get consistant even results with no change in tension. it's a horribly crude way of holding the hook.
Who are you to tell ANYONE how to do something, last time i checked it was up to the individual person how they wanted to do something. The end result is just the same!

You are welcome! It's one of my favorites - easy but definitely makes a bold impression.

I'm sure there are many who hold the hook "our" way or even their own way which may not be the conventional way.

Hi, when do you start the Zig Zag? Row 2 after the union of the 2 mesh? Thks

when you started the B color it was in back but you started with a front stitch. why did you not have the B color in front?
The B edge is a ch 4 which equals the edge dc + ch 1. When it is dropped to the back before the A row begins, the b edge is in the back. When it is dropped to the front before the A row begins, the b edge is in the front. This avoids having to pull the yarn back and forth through a box of the A color which ends up being a tangled mess when you turn your fabric around. The written stitch in the pattern is the next dc.
