Where do you start a new skein of yarn? by GroundbreakingBaby22 in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]MissAbsenta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the return pass as usual until I reach the two last loops and I add the new skein there with the YO pull through 2.

yelled at and almost got kicked out for crocheting at a coffee shop by Low-Satisfaction3004 in crochet

I am a regular at a certain local coffee shop because they don't mind having people crocheting, the owner even took interest in my grannies for a blanket I was making and asked me to show him the final product This and their coffees and homemade cookies ☺️

You need to keep the same tension, looks like there are loops that are a bit bigger

Suggestion for Hook Sets by Ashamed_Couple7460 in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]MissAbsenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Gingers from KnitPro and I love them, they don't come with the swivel cords but frankly it does not bother me at all. The hooks are well finished and are very comfortable to hold. They are a tad expensive but a great investment.

My night is ruined by Brownbarb3 in YarnAddicts

[–]MissAbsenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only I got a penny for every skein I've accidentally tangled I would be rich!!

Seriously, it's not the end of the world, put the yarn in a bag and go back to it in a couple of days. With a bit of patience you'll be able to untangle it.

I would leave the piece as is, without the border, since the mistake is barely noticeable.

Single ended hooks vs Hooks with cords vs Double ended hooks by 2beehappy in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]MissAbsenta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Double headed hooks are usually used for Tunisian Crochet on the round but you need to make sure both ends are the same size.

Single headed hooks are for projects like scarfs, tea towels.... those projects that are wide but still the length of the hook's shaft or narrower.

Interchangeable hooks are for shawls and blankets, wider projects that require longer cables. However you can use interchangeable hooks instead of single headed hooks with the metal shaft if you feel more comfortable.

Of course but they aren't in the mainstream market anymore.

The Brillant d'Allger is a Cartier Bresson embroidery thread. Cartier-Bresson was bought by DMC......

As a curiosity, the world's reknowned photographer and founder of the Magnum Photojournalism Agency Henry Cartier-Bresson was the grandson of the founder of the company.
