    I love Totoro so much.

    Happy birthday! It created such a dense fabric because of how the stitches lay together, you need to go up 1-4 hook sizes to get a flowy fabric! If a yarn requires a 4mm i usually go for 5.5mm-7mm to get a nice fabric.

    1:54 I’m the opposite, I learned to crochet then about 5 years ago I learned how to Tunisian crochet, through TL YARN CRAFTS. She is amazing at Tunisian crochet.

    4:44 quick tip to stop the parts from unscrewing, the little holes have a purpose, it’s to put a cable key(or just a sewing needle) through, so you can have a better grip to tighten it so it’s not able to unscrew while working

    Happy Birthday Michelle! The sweater is gorgeous, congrats on sticking with it. And I have a little idea that you could thread a needle with brown yarn and just make a stitch over the mistake to break up the orange and no one would ever notice. Give Totoro snuggles, I love him so much!!🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

    @bethknapp4935 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Happy Belated Birthday!! This came out so beautiful!! Totoro is such a good helper!!!! She knew that laying on it after steaming would make it perfect!!! 😂. Her little face is everything!!! ❤❤❤

    @annapepple477 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I love this stitch. The way it played out the orange looks like little bitty fall time maple leaves 🍁
    It looks like it’s going to be nice and warm.

    That's such a pretty tunesian pattern!! Also Totoro with the yarn on her head is adorable.

    Happy birthday, Michelle! Love the sweater…! Probably one of your best efforts, IMO. Totoro is a real cutie! She’s obviously very fond of her food, too (LOL!). Take care…!

  • @sweethaven5
    @sweethaven5 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    7:26 Crocheter, I think it also looks like knitting 😂😂 I’ve never used the cord attachment, I use a 8mm Tunisian crochet hook because I crochet very tight unfortunately. 19:19 It’s gorgeous!! The chocolate and fox colors are perfect together!!

  • @jackieholifield5575
    @jackieholifield5575 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love your sweater. I think I'm going to have to do this one too. I love doing tunisian crochet. I prefer it over regular crochet. I'm so glad I came across your video, I really enjoyed watching it.

    She is so cute! They love the feel of yarn, and they love to be in your business to get your attention away from the yarn and onto them.

    Happy belated birthday! 🎉
    Great job 🧡☺️ I love Tunisian crochet, but it IS a yarn eater technique and ALWAYS makes a very dense fabric - in my experience - regardless of yarn weight. Unless I size way waaaaaaay way up with my hook & create space, but even then, still just a dense result. Still, I find it almost meditative. Regardless! You really crushed it! Gorgīnaaa🧡
    PS: “Silly Hooman! It is ALWAYS about me!”! - Totoro

    It cane out brilliant! I'm surprised I love the overall color so much.. 😍 I wouldn't have gone with such a vibrant orange, but it came out awesome !
    There is a Houndstooth stitch in crochet, which looks the same. Maybe you could try got spring version like this and then compare the properties of the two fabrics.

  • @StaggySwaggy
    @StaggySwaggy 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Honestly I love the visible seams! Your version looks so good, and if I make something similar (VERY TEMPTED) I would make a wider crocheted seam as a design feature in the ribbing color 😍

  • @a_mini_nuke
    @a_mini_nuke 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Beautiful sweater!
    My favourite technique is tunisian crochet, especially colourwork, it's so much nicer than regular intarsia or tapestry and I prefer the feel of the fabric too.
    I'm binge watching your videos as I work on my concert cardigan, you're one of my favourite crochet youtubers ❤

  • @hope2getitdone
    @hope2getitdone 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Happy belated birthday! 🎉🥳🎂I love how your sweater turned out! It's so impressive how quickly you finished this sweater! Tunisian crochet is not for the faint of heart. Totoro is the best micro manager, checking in on you while you work. Making sure you don't go insane and providing extra cuteness while still being a bit of a diva.
    * micro manager because she is a small baby supervisor; I also have 2 micro managers who help me with my crafts.

    First off, Happy Birthday and Congrats on creating such a fab sweater!
    Seven minutes into this video, I paused and bought the pattern.
    I'm brand new to Tunisian and my left hand is a bit disabled and always in pain.
    BUT, I'm gonna seriously try to create this. I'm a thick woman, so it's going to take more
    yarn and probably more time than it did you. That's okay. I wanna make this and where
    there's a will, there is definitely a way. Much ♥

I actually started watching you around this time last year and it's undescribable how much comfort you've given me. I love and wait excitedly for every single one of your videos. I hope your birthday was enjoyable and hopefully the upcoming year holds a lot of growth and happiness for you!
    This sweater is also so beautiful 🥹🥹🥹 you have such an eye for colour and the way it fits... 🥹 a dream. I love it!!!

    Your right does look like knitting. When I think of tuisian I think it's a combination of knitting and crochet because you can do both with tunisian. 😊

  • @krystalvd8983
    @krystalvd8983 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not sure if it’s exactly the same with crochet and Tunisian crochet, but if you do a single crochet, double crochet repeat across a row and then on the next row put a single crochet into the double crochet and vice versa, you can get a similar houndstooth effect!

    But girl.....lemme tell you.... I also decided to make myself a birthday sweater in October. The sweater has been done for weeks.....the ribbing however...it's the bane of my existence. Yours looks so good! Do you have a tutorial or someone you would recommend to run to for help with that accursed ribbing?! That sweater beckons to me everyday....just sitting on my couch...all by itself glaring at me lol
