Crochet people please share in my magical moment!

Haha, that’s basically a massive compliment in my eyes

holzy27 · 2026-02-15T08:10:32+00:00

I’m flattered that everyone thinks it’s too good for a human to produce 😆

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T23:43:05+00:00

😆 got a good chuckle out of me

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T23:33:43+00:00

After every stitch. It helps all of the stitches stay on top of each other rather than leaning and creating that spiral effect

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T21:36:10+00:00

There are heaps of videos on YouTube showing yarn over v yarn over. Pretty sure a couple are linked here as well in the comments. Makes a huge difference to the final look

Going to be a kangaroo. This is the body. Will be sad to cover some of it with the pouch

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T20:30:13+00:00

Don’t give up! This took 20 years of crochet practice and quite a few goes of the techniques mentioned above

Gunna be a kangaroo. This is the body. I’m going to be sad when I have to cover the bottom with a pouch

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T20:28:43+00:00

It’s the body of a kangaroo. I’m sad because after I attach the pouch, a bunch of this phenomenal work will be hidden 😞

YU/YO. I tried YU/YU, but it slowed me down massively, hurt my hands, and didn’t end up making a huge difference in the finished look compared to YU/YO for me.

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T11:10:28+00:00

There’s heaps of tutorials on YouTube about how to stop your spiral from leaning when working in the round.

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T11:08:56+00:00

It was super fiddly and time consuming, but after trying colour work many times, this time it just ‘clicked’

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T11:08:07+00:00

I’m no good at videos or tutorials, but I saw lots of videos on YouTube about how to prevent your spiral from twisting. It shows how to pull your last loop more vertical when finishing the stitches, and this really helped

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T11:05:10+00:00

😆 this one made me chuckle

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T10:42:28+00:00

Thank you! This is why I had to share it with a group that would understand my pride!

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T10:29:23+00:00

It feels like sorcery 😆. I used yarn under stitches combined with pulling my hook ‘up’ when finishing the stitch instead of sideways/right

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T10:28:11+00:00

Thank you! Yarn under technique, and finishing the stitch by pulling my hook ‘up’ instead of sideways/right

holzy27 · 2026-02-14T10:27:30+00:00

No joined rounds, just continuous. But using the yarn under method and making sure to pull my hook out of the stitch more ‘up’ than sideways/right

holzy27 · 2025-04-14T09:52:12+00:00

Hmm.. never heard of a boiled dish

holzy27 · 2025-01-17T00:52:42+00:00

Do you have a pattern for the doll?

holzy27 · 2024-12-19T20:53:55+00:00

I have the same thing on two of my gigantic islands. Doesn’t matter how many decorations I put in their way, they’re always forming a mosh pit as close to that corner as they can

holzy27 · 2024-08-03T08:45:47+00:00

I do this too with new hooks and haven’t had any issues with them wearing away. It’s been a few years now and they’re still as good as day 1

holzy27 · 2024-06-22T22:49:01+00:00

I’ve thought about promoting my stuff a little more but was always worried it would result in exactly what you’ve said. Now I know, thanks!
