Thread might be too thin to work with this regulator but you might be able to use a smaller hook to make your stitches tighter but chain more in the beginning so that it still fits around your finger

@2:35 If you can't invest in a yarn bowl (low priced ones go for like $40 from what I've seen), you can always use a regular ceramic bowl or some other bowl with weight and then clip a binder clip on the bowl's lip and feed the yarn through the metal hole(s). I use a wood bowl I bought off Publix clearance for like 5 bucks and a binder clip, and it works great for me.

My mum when first teaching me had me doing chains for months...lol but we learned how to make different things with all the chains I had been making. Made for fun and great practice for which I'm eternally greatful.

@13klecan 3 жыл бұрын

Ditto with my mom! I remember making yards of chains with our fingers in the kitchen while she cooked. My parents divorced and we moved into my grandma’s home in Panama where we attended Catholic school run by German nuns. Crocheting tons of doilies with super tiny white thread and tiny hooks. No knitting because of the heat. But OK with me as i now create amigurumi creatures, do free-crocheting, make funky tops, hats, using threads and yarns of all sizes. Thank God for this skill during COVID. I’ve made little hearts with wings for everyone i know on the front line of Covid, little elves for xmas, etc. etc. so happy that in 21st century we’ve moved away from doilies.

That was so amazing! My granny told me when I was 12 that the way I held both my crochet hook and the tension in my left hand was completely wrong! She said it would lead to major problems when I moved on to more complex work. I ignored her, and now at age 51 I just couldn’t re-learn how to hold the yarn properly. Also I just received a little bucket with handles as a gift and it is a perfect yarn bowl! I really didn’t know about any of these tips but they will help tremendously with my new obsession for amagurumi and hopefully make my coasters more even.

It been over one year since viewing your tension regulator tutorial and I was compelled to return to post another comment on how this tutorial has been instrumental in my ability now to crochet for hours. I have been crocheting purses and bags using size 18 nylon and it would have been impossible for me to crochet with this slippery nylon without this crochet tension idea. I am 70 years old with arthritis beginning to develop in my hands yet I have made several crocheted purses, bags,, straps, etc with the nylon now and the ability to adjust tension by increasing the number of stitches the yarn/cord is woven through is absolutely the most important aspect if this idea. Many thanks to whomever came up with this idea and thank you for sharing it with us!

Good tips. I was a little amused about how some hold their yarn. I bought a book about 50 years ago on how to crochet. In that book it showed how to wind the yarn through your fingers. I still do it that way. When my stitches get too tight i go up a size to get my work back on track. If it gets too loose i go down a hook size.

Yes those are great tips! I love seeing the many different ways each person holds their yarn.

I cut a finger off a rubber glove, the thicker gloves you use to wash dishes. I cut it long enough to cover the part of my pointer finger that the yarn rubs across.. Not only does it help with tension but I normally use my pinky & ring finger to hold tension and they start to cramp up painfully, using this 1 glove finger helps hold the yarn enough that you don't really need to use your fingers for tension, so they don't cramp up.. Another awesome thing about it is when you're working with scratchy rough yarn, it rubs against your finger and eventually starts to hurt bc it's like a rug burn.. The rubber finger guard, keeps the scratchy yarn off your skin....

Hi crochet ladies, just found a way to stop crochet curling on tbe corners. Make a matching circle or square, sew to inside of article. Try it please, Fran.

Thank you so much for showing us how to make the tension holder. I have been having so much trouble with this. It was even difficult for me to make the little finger Cousy 🤷🏼‍♀️. Once again thank you so much 💚😊💚😊

I always found it uncomfortable winding wool around my fingers and I would end up gripping it too tight. I made myself a regulator out of interest and can't believe how this simple thing has improved the flow of my chains & stitches! My hand feels better too, allowing me to crochet for longer, thank you!

Thanks so much for the tension ring. I have injury to my left arm and it is painful to move my hand to crochet and keep tension correct. I will make one next time I crochet and see how it goes. I can see this working. Thank you.

The Tension Regulator is fantastic! I've got an Autoimmmune disease that affects all my joints & muscles so crocheting makes my hands, especially my fingers, hurting very much. This Tension Regulator helps a lot! Thank you so much 😍👍

I know a really grrat hook that can help with that! Google eggcellent ergonomic crochet hook on amazon! Its an eggshaped base that has inter chnagrable hooks, it comes with 6 and you cN message the seller to get an aditional 5 or 6 sizes. It's great for gripping and super comfy! It also helps stave off carpel and helps support comfort with arthritis pain!
