I know you are probably self conscious to the background noise, etc. but honestly it’s part of what I love about your videos. Your secretary working in the background most of the year makes my heart smile. ❤ I’m sorry if any previous comments I’ve made have made you self conscious about it. Also…thank you for this video! I love your Tunisian crochet patterns!
When I first started watching Corrina over a year ago I thought it was her brother Roger or one of her boys playing games! I have no idea how game players work!
You are right that having it as soft steady background noise is quite pleasant. When I notice it, which isn’t all the time, I imagine all kinds of masterpieces being written. Added: I just realized what else it sounds like. A Newton’s cradle. Those things with the 5 metal balls that transfer energy to each other? They make a similar clacking sound. I love those things.
What a cute project. Can I give you a hint on how to tie a bow? It is just like trying a square knot, right over left then left over right. After your half-knot, whichever side is coming over the top of your knot is the one that you make your loop with, and then bring the bottom end up and over the loop. That is a bow that will lie straight and not cock-eyed.
Wow! What a cute bag! I might leave the ends open. Instead of needles, I'd put the end of my yarn through the hole so you could crochet without your yarn skein running away from you.
I thought to myself at the end "She made a Victorian duffle bag." Who knew? You did a great job, which comes as a surprise to nobody who's been following you for any length of time. I can't imagine why on earth a person would want to let the pointy ends of the needles be exposed; if it were me, I would bury the points in the ball of yarn or skein, for everyone's protection. And just a heads up, knitting is only as difficult as the level you wish to be at. It can seem ridiculously simple at first (which is why many of us tend to overthink it), because you're only working with knits, purls, and yarn overs, for the most part. As you progress to the intermediate and advanced levels, there's definitely a level of education that few would expect, but the results are phenomenal. But that's just my opinion. Thank you for the video, looking forward to the next one!
I still can’t knit after nearly fifty years of trying off and on. Crochet, no problem - done it for decades, no issues. But knitting always ends up as an uneven mess, and every time I drop a stitch I’m sunk, can’t recover it. For some reason I’ve never been able to get my head round it and it hasn’t been for lack of trying. Broken brain. It was knitting I started with too!
You don't know how pleased I was to hear you say that you can't knit! I'm 83 and have been trying to learn to knit ever since I was 6. My fingers just can't do it, but crochet is so easy, even the most complicated stitches work for me. Poor motor coordination? You are the first person I've heard of who can crochet and not knit - I'm not alone!
Same as me! I can knit, but my stitches are oriented differently because of how I was taught as a child by my grandmother and mother. This means nothing online matches that I can find. I’ve tried changing the way I do it but k just can’t get used to it. Whereas I have always loved crochet and don’t need to change a thing. So I only crochet! I will bust out some knitting if I need to.
*CONGRATS* on getting your Silver play button!!!!!! I told ya that it wouldn't take long :))) Thank you for all of your hard work & inspiring us all. And, of course, bringing these wonderful patterns back to life. xxx
I started crocheting at the age of 9, in 1961. My instructors were received by aunts, my maternal & fraternal grandmothers, and a lady down the street. I started knitting at ten, in 1962. I really fell in love with this yarn art. My first project was a long raglan sleeve sweater with double cables down the center of the front & back, a single cable down the sleeves. I got a blue ribbon, held 15 place. I'm still knitting and crocheting. I am 72. My hope is that my yarn art continues through my after life. Thank you for continued instruction through You tube, Verda M. Glendale AZ.
Hello Corrina, this bag is cute. You did a great job as usual in crocheting it. And even though it does look like it has a touch of Christmas colors. I think it's beautiful, looking forwarding as always to your next video Thank you.
So fabulous to see one creator shout out to another and have it happen to be both I enjoy! What a great surprise! This made my day. Tunisian crochet is one of my favorites, I am in the process of making a sweater with it, no pattern. I'm a terrible knitter, yet I keep telling myself, one day I will just wake up and it won't feel so awkward lol. This sweater is less like crochet and more like knit they way it has to be built in panels, and it's really making my brain hurt. This video has been a lovely distraction
I knit and crochet, however I have never tried Tunisian crochet. This seemed like the perfect pattern to learn on. This bag turned out so absolutely adorable, and I am now “hooked” on trying out some more Tunisian patterns. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern!!!!
That’s so cute, I love it. I’ve been a knitter until the last 4 years. I’m still learning crochet, but I want to make a bag, what a cool project bag it makes.thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Was it USPS? They do this to me all the time. I live in California. I once had a package come from somewhere on the East coast, made it to Cali in like two or three days. Sat in San Fran for two or three days. Then went to HAWAII!! Then it came BACK to SF several days later. Sat for days and days. Then went BACK TO HAWAII!!! I think I finally got it a week and a half later. It was almost a MONTH between the day it shipped and the day I got it. No reason was given. No apology. Just “well look into it” and then silence until it finally showed up. When I tell you I was LIVID!! I know it’s just stuff. But it’s the principle of it you know? UGH
If you must blame the USPS, blame the Postmaster General Lois DeWit. He implemented directives when he came in a few years ago, such as leaving mail on the dock if everyone couldn't deliver it "in time", removing sorting machines, closing post offices, and such. The local Postmasters are trying their best with what they have to work with, but it hasn't been fun for anyone.
Such a cute vintage bag! Fun to watch it come together. Never knew what Tunisian crochet was. It looks fun to work, similar to knitting and only ONE hook 😂. Yep I tried knitting....couldn't do the two needles😊thing.
I have tried this before, back in the 70s, when it was called afghan stitch crochet. I could never get past the first row. Turns out I wasn't catching the last "crochet" loops. Sine I knew no one who knew how to do this craft I just gave up. Thanks, Corinna. Time to try again. I wonder if that afghan hook is still in my mom's sewing room somewhere.
Oh excited for this, I saw the engineering knits video too. And congrats on the Tunesian crochet hook, did it come with a marriage license signed by Elvis? Yep… my mind made that connection. And now we want to see a Tunisian crocheted white flared Elvis suit 😉💍🎰🕺🏻🎲
That is a lovely bag! I guess the problem you have learning knitting I probably have learning crochet. I managed to get to do Tunisian pretty well because it is basically like knit cast on and off/bind. And then I did manage to do fillet because it is just double crochets, but anything else ends up being too confusing for my poor 2 active neurons lol. If you don't know him already you should try learning knit with Norman from Nimble Needles, he is such a sweetheart and explain things simply and well, every time I don't remember how to do something or have any doubt on how to do something I just run to his channel.
I luv luv luv that bag ... need to make one for my mommy darling - she knits teddy bears for little kids in hospital and teeny tiny beanies and clutch dolls for babys - she's such a sweetie 💞
Both you and Engineering Knits did a fabulous job!! I did watch her video last week, but I prefer your videos to hers. She's good, but she doesn't "click" with me. I'm glad you seem to be feeling better too! I can hear it in your voice; your chipperness has come back. Still sending you healing thoughts and vibes though. 😘❣️❣️❣️
u and engineering knits are my main ones i watch, n wen she struggles im shouting ask karina at just vintage lol, youve worked together before b doing mstery knit/crohet, thik need another one
I watch Engineering knits !! I love her even though I can't knit , she does it all I found her through You !! Some colab I think , love how you worked this to crochet !! I am gonna use as a border the sides you did it looks like Tunisian, Thank You for another great video !! ❤ It !! Oh love the Traveling Hook omg lol
I watched the engineering knits video for this bag and fell in love with it. Went off to look for the book/ pattern , couldn’t find it anywhere. I’m so glad you did this so I can hopefully follow along and make my own.
The bag came out so cute! Love the rows of ribbons. I can’t see the pattern photo very well, but could it be yarn coming out of the “rings”? Like the knitting/crochet yarn bags that have grommets to feed yarn through? 🦋
I made several Christmas ornaments last year using the ring around the top of a milk carton as the center ring. Maybe that or even the ring on a bottle of water or soda for a smaller ring?
i love you so much, your titanic era crochet bag made me want to get into crochet and after some modern designs to learn, it was the first vintage pattern i followed along
What is your other channel please i love to watch I have watched all your videos thank you for them if anyone knows her other youtube channel please share
I don't usually do Tunisian patterns because of the blocking requirements, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with the way this is constructed. I think I'll give it a go! Thanks for sharing 🧡
Coming back and rewatching this video. I wanted to let you know I'm making one of these for myself as I watch. It's my first ever Tunisian project, my only prior experience with Tunisian being a simple stitch swatch a couple of years ago. Giving Tunisian s try with this tutorial and it's starting to feel more intuitive, slowly but surely. Also may help i just finished two linked double dresses. Thanks for inspiring me.
I have had packages that were right down the street at the post office in Illinois, I could have walked to the post office, looked at tracking and they sent it to Wisconsin then back to the same post office in Illinois. What? Why? So I feel your pain.
Interesting video. I recently invested in dome Tunisian hooks, but haven't started trying it yet. How strange they wanted their needles to stick out of the bag. Weird, IMHO.
I have some friends who live in southern AZ and every time we mail something to each other it just rots at the Phoenix distribution center. Cards are one thing, but if it's an actual package I've just started using UPS.
I know you are probably self conscious to the background noise, etc. but honestly it’s part of what I love about your videos. Your secretary working in the background most of the year makes my heart smile. ❤ I’m sorry if any previous comments I’ve made have made you self conscious about it. Also…thank you for this video!

It’s comforting to me too. 😊
It makes me feel happy as I love the typewriter sound.😊

The sound has to stay now, is part of the channel 😂, for a long time I thought it was a 🦜 lol 😂

I want to make this, but add metal eyelets and use them for pulling yarn out.

This is a great Tunisian tutorial! You go over the techniques brilliantly! ❤
I'll bet a lot of ladies lost their needles out of those side holes 🙂. But what a great weapon for against pick pockets. Love the video.

Lovely tutorial. I learned to knit first and the crochet recently. I was in shock when I discovered Tunisian crochet. Mix of both worlds.
It would be a great Christmas gift bag too that can be reused.
I so love that you "make it work". I twnd to scrap projects when I mess up, I'm slowly getting over that.
Love your videos! ❤🤗
Tunisian crochet looks easier and faster than regular crochet ❤
Hello Corrina, this bag is cute. You did a great job as usual in crocheting it. And even though it does look like it has a touch of Christmas colors. I think it's beautiful, looking forwarding as always to your next video Thank you.
I love the ribbon & tie around the knitting needles 😊
Oooh! Linked trebles!!! Cool!

🧡🧡🧡 so your new hook went out hooking in Vegas 🤔🤣 been hot and super busy. Trying play catch up… we’ve been busy. 🧡 to Merlin 🐾

It's also the fact of unnecessarily contributing to gas emissions. How hard could it be to send the package via the shortest way?
Recently, a birthday card sent from Denver to Seattle took 10 days. I have no words......

And congrats on the Tunesian crochet hook, did it come with a marriage license signed by Elvis?
Yep… my mind made that connection.
And now we want to see a Tunisian crocheted white flared Elvis suit 😉💍🎰🕺🏻🎲
@engineeringknits is how I found your channel. I am thankful!
Me too!
Welcome to the crazy bunch 😆 It's not a Vintage crochet video without the typewriter sound!
That is a lovely bag!
I guess the problem you have learning knitting I probably have learning crochet. I managed to get to do Tunisian pretty well because it is basically like knit cast on and off/bind. And then I did manage to do fillet because it is just double crochets, but anything else ends up being too confusing for my poor 2 active neurons lol.

I want everything from that book, what a cool collection!
I loved your interview that you did recently. What an awesome piece. You shared so much knowledge and insight. Loved every minute of it.❤
Back in the 70's there was no one to show me Tunisian,/Afghan crochet/knitting so it's not till now that I'm learning thanks to you Corinna
Oh my gosh a must have I love bags! Thanks for sharing ❤✌️
I luv luv luv that bag ... need to make one for my mommy darling - she knits teddy bears for little kids in hospital and teeny tiny beanies and clutch dolls for babys - she's such a sweetie 💞
Please send her much love, this is great and the Little ones in the hospital can use every bit of fun and comfort there is to have😘😘😘
@@hiwakoo Thank you !! I will certainly pass on the love
128 times trying to knit! Me too!!! I just can't 😩
Cute bag!😊
I would love to see more vintage Tunisian crochet videos
Sweet! It’s perfect! Who cares if it looks Christmasy! Thank you! You did a Fantabulously great bag!!
Very pretty indeed! Never trying Tunisian! Lol
Excellent tutorial. I really like tunisian crochet.
Love the bag .
I'm addicted to Tunisian crochet, currently making round the world throw. Another beautiful one Corrina ❤❤❤🇦🇺
i really like the changes you made, i will be making this bag, but making cording for the draw string. Really pretty and useful. Thank you.
I’m thinking I may line mine and turn it into a sewing bag for my 19th century quilt project I plan to take with me reenacting. Thank you!
Thats so cool! I learned a couple vague areas 🎉in Tunision crochet too. Thank you!❤ 😃
Good morning from near Mammoth Cave, Kentucky.
Oh goody goody, another project from the Weldon book! YEA!
I absolutely loooovvveeeeee the bag
Both you and Engineering Knits did a fabulous job!! I did watch her video last week, but I prefer your videos to hers. She's good, but she doesn't "click" with me.

So cute!
The bag came out so cute! Love the rows of ribbons.
I can’t see the pattern photo very well, but could it be yarn coming out of the “rings”? Like the knitting/crochet yarn bags that have grommets to feed yarn through? 🦋
Love this bag. The only trouble that I had was the cherry color was really dark and I could not see a lot of the stitches.
I made several Christmas ornaments last year using the ring around the top of a milk carton as the center ring. Maybe that or even the ring on a bottle of water or soda for a smaller ring?
I love already the thumbnail...this is going to be a cute project. Thank you so much. One day I will do tunesian chrochet. Maybe thats the project.
i love you so much, your titanic era crochet bag made me want to get into crochet and after some modern designs to learn, it was the first vintage pattern i followed along
Love it. I have to make one now
so sweet
I just got a whole set of those on Temu.
Thank you for the edge tip-I was getting ripples on my edge
What is your other channel please i love to watch I have watched all your videos thank you for them if anyone knows her other youtube channel please share
I have a channel called " Everyday Corinna " and another crochet channel called " Its Not Knit "
I don't usually do Tunisian patterns because of the blocking requirements, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with the way this is constructed. I think I'll give it a go! Thanks for sharing 🧡

This is so cute now I need to make it
I wish you would use a white towel when you use dark yarn with the grey background. It is really hard to see what you are doing.
I really enjoyed this tutorial!
3 days is really all you need in Vegas 😂
❤ The bag. Would love to make it. Would the pattern be on Etsy? I believe I could remember how to put it all together.
Question: why do a slip knot for the color change with Tunisian crochet? I don’t do that with crochet or knitting.
Had something I ordered sat 90 minutes away for a week
I have been looking for a bell gauge. I need one that measures hooks smaller than 2mm. As I have a few smaller than that
I found mine on Etsy , try there 👍
Can the ring from the top of a water bottle work?
I've tried to learn knitting so many times and I can't grasp it either 😒
💗
Where do you live in Arizona? My youngest brother lives just 2 hrs south of Vegas.
You forgot scissors! 😂
I have to keep the volume down cause its annoying that tap tap. Give me a head ache
Your video is a bit jerky, it stops momentarily then restarts.
