I love that you start with Fsc instead of chaining x number of chains. I prefer the Fsc. Love this pattern and video, it's very simple to follow.

Hi Tuula Maaria! My sister in law had a great idea: the single strand of yarn holding up her wind spinner got frayed because of too much spinning (it’s windy in her area). She thought of a nylon fishing yarn to replace it. I think dental floss would work out as well. Floss is easier to knot than nylon. Hope this helps!

@TuulaMaaria 2 жыл бұрын

That's a great idea! Dental floss especially would be great, nothing can break it! Thank you so much for the tip!

This is so timely. I belong to two Australian crochet facebook groups and someone put some wind spinners up that they had made. I was very impressed, having never seen them before and now, Thanks to you Tuula I can make my own. I'm thinking Christmas, out on our back verandah, red green and silver or gold wind spinners hanging down from the roof. Would look very pretty.

Wonderful! This made me think that these would look nice even here at Christmas time, especially if there was snow (which we most years don't have here in the very south of Finland!) Different Christmas colours hanging from your roof would look lovely, a big job though getting them attached there!

@TuulaMaaria 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You don't need anything heavy in the bottom unless you hang it in a very windy place and prefer it to stay upright. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything, it spins automatically. Just sew a piece of thread to the tops of it and hang. No need to string anything in the middle. The hanging thread needs to be something that allows it to turn freely, I use grizzle sewing thread.

Do you know if the pattern will work out right should you want to make the spinners with wider *discs* by crocheting four - five - or even six or seven stitches in each stitch ? I love this pattern when you make the SC foundation row like you do. TY so much for sharing this method with us. I will prob start using that method on all the patterns I work which call for a SC foundation. (?) Maybe it would work out for a DC foundation, too ? TY again.

@TuulaMaaria 2 жыл бұрын

It does work with wider spirals although it then depends more on the type of yarn. Heavier yarn would make the spirals fall on top of each other. I wouldn’t use too many stitches is one stitch or it would start to go wavy and curl. 4 into a stitch in the next round. Yes, that way of starting works with double crochets, I have a video on that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8h-jdtl3bTHeKs.html Enjoy crocheting these! 😊
