Little tip from 40+ year crocheter. When you change colors, lay the tail of the old color along the upcoming stitches and just stitch right over it as you continue. When you get back around, take the “new” color tail and lay that over and stitch over it. At the end, you will have few to no tails to weave in. You did a lovely job!

Yeah it’s pretty mandatory for KZfaqr crocheters. I’ve been working with crochet for about 8 years now (o started while I was pregnant with my twins) and that was the second trick I learned on KZfaq. Melanie Hamm taught me how to crochet. RIP MELANIE

That's what I do, crochet over the ends. I also weave in the tails as I go when knitting.

@emrooker Жыл бұрын

Does the crocheted item stand up over many launderings with so little weaving in? I thought going back and forth three times would secure the ends better than just crocheting over them.

I’ve found that weaving in the tails as you go saves a lot of tedium and tears than when you sew them in at the end xx Carol

Over 40 years ago I made this pattern out of sport weight yarn. It took me over a year to finish it. I found a pattern book that offered it. I believe the book was published in the 1960’s. The shawl was my pride and joy until it was stolen. I don’t have to tell you how sick I was. I’m glad I found you because I was thinking I would make that shawl again. Only I will made mine using a tight granny square pattern. Happy hooking!

The fringe is supposed to be "two strands thick laid double". In other words, you should have two strands of yarn (not one) and fold them in half - or doubled (so you'll have 4, not 2, ends of fringe in each stitch). Also, whenever you make fringe, it's best to make it a little longer and then trim it once it's all complete. Inevitably, you'll end up with some uneven fringe AND trimming it lets you be quicker with the application, not worrying about getting the ends absolutely even. Hope this helps!

thank you, I was just about to comment the same thing. two threads thick, laid double. so 4 strands. that's why the fringe was about to be a little thin and it is, finally.

I have always found that when I have a project and I'm doing a continuous round, I use one color of stitch marker for the beginning/starting corner and a different color for the remaining corners that way I always know where I'm at in relation to the start, it makes everything so much easier.

My sisters Mother-in-Law was a crocheter. She has since passed away but, when I started crocheting again a few years ago, my brother-in-law asked if I wanted his mom's "sewing" basket and inside was a treasure trove of hooks, a few knitting needles, scissors and some old patterns. Some typed up or copied from books. A few from old magazines and some she had written down by hand. I was very honored to accept this gift. I think my brother-in-law was happy it stayed in the family so to speak. I was looking at some the other day and it is amazing how things were written. These aren't even as old as the ones you are doing. But it is fun to see how they were worked up. I love your channel. Very interesting. Keep up the great work.

I have some of my Grandmother and Great Grandmother's crochet books & "needles." My Grandma was so talented that she could look at the pattern before starting the project and know if the instructions were printed wrong. I am 58yrs old and have been crocheting since I was 7yrs. I love the "vintage" patterns and to this day, I too still struggle with some of those old printed patterns. I also struggle with some of the new ways & terms of crochet - thank goodness for video tutorials!

I think at the start to get to 8sc, they mean to do to 2sc in each of the veins of the 4 chains you originally made, not just the three we used the backlooop of. This means disregarding the "worked off together" stitch when moving to the next round. Makes a nice closed loop! Ultimately won't change a lot to the finished project. Thank you for showing this vintage pattern!

As a crocheter who struggles with anything but lace trim, the way you use your stitch markers is hugely helpful. I'm an expert knitter but just taught myself to crochet a couple of years ago. I can read my knitting, but really struggle with tracking what my crochet is doing. Thanks!

I am a vintage crochet enthusiast & enjoy your videos. ❤ Knowing that the directions in such patterns are non-standard & often vague, it is very easy to miss a key clue in how to work these patterns. The 1st round states to “always” SC “on” the free vein of each foundation st. I believe always means to follow this practice on stitches & not “in” stitches throughout. In other words, to SC in the back loop stitch on every round as done on the free veins of the foundation stitches. I tried this technique & it produces a beautiful lacy look, more in line with a traditional lace shawl, in which the texture is created by using the larger hook size. The center also looked more natural using the back loops throughout. I didn’t work in the stitch created by drawing up the 3rd, 2nd & 1st veins at once when starting round 2 or have to add any stitches other than the one stitch on each side for the increases as instructed.

@brendacarter1574 6 күн бұрын

I also read it to say increase on the first stitch made of the increase then on the next row increase on the second stitch of the increase. Alternating the increases every other row. Either way she did a fantastic job and put a lot of labor into making such a beautiful shawl 😊

Amazing deciphering! I actually think the blue looks really nice then going to the grey. Most women/ladies of the time would have used what they had or even re-used yarn from older projects. I'm glad you managed to work out the initial rows. I don't think I would have been able o and would have judged one together. There isn't much information in the pattern, but I suppose they may have had a more experienced crocheter with them to help them through it. Also pattern styles have changed and that may have been a standard start to a project. I'm not a fringe person and thought I would have left it off, but seeing you wearing it, it does 'complete ' the shawl. Beautiful work and thank you for the video. Take care xxJane 🐇

I think this will be project #4 for me. I can do single crochet and increases. This will help me to learn colour change. I think I would make my shawl cream coloured with periwinkle blue stripes. I like those colours. I don't care if shawls are out of style. They are perfect for my sense of style. I wear long dresses every day and a shawl would be so nice and warm especially when I am sitting in church because they always have the A/C turned up so that the priest doesn't sweat when saying Mass. He has to wear several layers of clothes which makes him hot even though everyone else needs to bundle up in cardigans and jackets to stay warm.
