@berryjacobs8524 No, don't give up! What part is it that you struggle with?

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Nancy. I am really glad that I could inspire you to try again. Please let me know how it goes ❤❤

Hello Jean. When you want to substitute a yarn in a pattern, you stay with the yardage of a pattern. Yardage will stay the same. The only thing that happens is that the amount of "balls" will increase when you go for a heavier weight yarn or decrease when you go for a lighter weight, due to the yardage per gram per BALL. So the grams increase, because the yarn is heavier due to thickness, but your yardage in lenght stays the same. Just keep in mind that your item will also become bigger if the yarn is thicker. Does it make sense?

@@beatrixsnyman4411 very much so. Thanks so much!

@@Jean06460 awesome!! Anytime, if I can help 👍🏻💕

Hello Gina. Yes, you will have 225 loops on your hook, that you picked up from the foundation chain. It will look like knitting stitches on a needle. That is what you will work with, but...a standard Tunisian crochet hook might be too short for so many stitches, depending on the yarn weight you use. You will prefereably use an interchangeable hook with a cable on. There are various brands.

Hello. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Yes, you can make gorgeous sweaters and I am testng two designrs' sweaters at the moment and both have round necks. It only includes increases and decreases. I have designed a few myself, but never managed to write up the patterns 🫣 I will go look for a few that is available and come share a link or two with you from my favorites, will that help you? And some day I will consider making a video about the basics of designing around neckline in Tss 👍🏻💕

Hello Fleur, thank you so much for your comment. Don;t be too hard on Tunisian...it has one big advantage if all else fails. BLOCKING the thing into submission works every time 😂

Makes such a difference, isn't it?👌

@@beatrixsnyman4411 , for sure!

Hej Hugette. What a beautiful name you have 😊 I am still around. I just took a very long break from all things crochet and just rose from the ashes recently. I do have a lot of new things planned, as well as online courses of various Tunisian skills. You can follow me on Insta: @btrixdsigns to stay updated or subscribe to the newsletter on the website (I send very little newsletters, cause I hate spamming 🫣) www.btrixdsigns.com And thank you for your lovely comment... Anything specific you are interested in learning?💕

Margaret, thank you so much for your comment. Hope you are completely hooked on Tunisian now 😁💕

@@beatrixsnyman4411 Oh I am - My hands still feel very ackward but I really love the results.

@@margaretnewton5985 it's like with anything one learns the first time...it takes time and practice and before long you are a master 👌

@MarjorieGoodwin, the yarn I use to demonstrate is locally hand dyed cotton yarn from our indiedyers. It is a worsted/aran/10ply and it has a nice high twist on the plying so it is perfect to show off every detail without the interference of the fibers.

Thank you so much for the compliment, Majorie. I really hope that you enjoy the rest of my videos too. After a few years' break, you will see way more videos this year as well.💕

@@beatrixsnyman4411 Yay! I can't wait. I'm very new to Tunisian Crochet.

@@MarjorieGoodwin then I hope I can teach you well through my videos. If ever you have quetions, don't hesitate to ask me 💕💕

@ariellasmakeup7709 thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so glad you are trying your hand on Tunisian Crochet. It can get kinda addictive. To help you on your left side of the knit stitch; it also helps when you pull your chain a little more tight before you continue the return. Try it and let me know if it gets less loose and messy 🌺

@@beatrixsnyman4411 thanks so much 😊

Thank you. I am so glad this video helped you 🙏🌺

Not all brands. It is something we should research to find which brands does, but the knitpro I use does not.

Any stitch that does not create the bulk of it at the back like the simple, and the knit which is the worse. Best is, work a stitch combination like the the honeycomb, or work a longer stitch like the double or extended. For Tunisian, no matter the stitch, blocking will be inevitable. Best way to tame those curls.

@@beatrixsnyman4411 I agree with all of what you said. However, a person does not know WHICH specific stitches to try unless they are NAMED. The generality of where to place hook does not name the list of stitches which balance the front and back tension. I too am a natural fiber snob, so I rely on the stitch to limit the curl. I do not like holes in loose floppy sloppy stitches. I could watch tutorials if I knew which stitch, by name, I should search for. So sorry to ‘go on’. I did watch your video(s) so I was asking for information beyond what you had already said. Example: Purl, honeycomb, reverse, ….. thanks! (If you do not know, it is ok to say that too.)

@@littlewiseowl4405 thank you for your comment on this. It may be something I can look into, so make an extensive list. The reason for how I answered before is because there are really si many different stitches, variations and combinations that it will take some time to make such a list. Lace stitches, for one, can be combinations of basic stitches and techniques, but each different combination option don't necessarily have a name, but the combo of stitches might be excellent for the curl issue. You get what I say. But, thanks for sharing your need with me. I will definately look into compiling such a list 👌

Thank you, @debjordan4399 🙏😁

Hej Dana. Thank you so much for your comment, and it is a pleasure. Hopefully this gets you to do many TITR pieces 😊🌺

Thanks Diane. The tutorials on the website I am still working on. I have to redo everything on the new website as the websystem is completely different to the one I used before. And it takes a lot off time which I now do in spare time or when opportunity allows. If you get a video that says "not available" will you please inform me about that as I did not remove any videos from youtube and they should sll be avsilable. So thanks for making me aware. And whenevee you need any info on anything, please feel free to ask me. My email addres: [email protected]

Hej Natalie! Thank you soo much for your lovely comment. I truly appreciate it. Please tell me if you are going to do TC or convetional crochet beanies? I would love to assist you in tips and trix to elliminate the wonkiness 😉 Love from a not-so-cold-wintery Cape Town, South Africa 😊

@@beatrixsnyman4411 Oh Beatrix, you are so kind! I tried standard crochet but I couldn't get my head around it at all, so thankfully I came across Tunisian knitting/crochet as it seems to make a lot more sense to me. Maybe because I can count the actual stitches, and they're easier to identify now since I watched your 'anatomy' video. I'm practicing on my training wool (as I've started to call it) so it comes a little more naturally when I use the new wool I've ordered, hopefully it's delivered tomorrow. I watched a video which showed a pattern of 49 stiches; 1st 9 using the back V-bar, then standard TSS for the remaining stitches. Thank you for your offer of advice, I may well take you up on that! 😊⚘👍🏽

@@openorwap5412 my email address, just in case 😉 [email protected] 🌺

@@beatrixsnyman4411 Thank you 🥰

Hej Willow. Hope you are well. I am so sorry for my late reply. That pattern is currently available on Ravelry, but it's not free anymore. It prices $2.10 now. But email me at [email protected], please.

Hallo, hallo. Kliek op my naam sodat jy my hele channel se videos kan kry. Ek het dit in playlists opgedeel. Daar is een met 8 (dink ek) lesssons. Kyk vir die ene wat gaan oor Troubleshooting. Hy gaan vir jou baie help. En eks jaloers op daai lekker koue….maar die Kaap is self darem nou baie lekker.🌸🌸

Hope it still goes well with your Tunisian journey 🥰👌

Hello Diane. For mosaic, you can play around with Tunisian Extended Stitch, Tunisian Double Stitch, and the Tunisian Post Stitch. I played with all 3 of them and depending on the look you want, you choose your stitch. So yeah, you can play around a lot with it. Well done.

@@beatrixsnyman4411 Thank you for suggesting other stitches. I'm a 'retired' pro dyer/weaver and a lot of my work and techniques developed from 'what if.....' and being very familiar with basics so when I decided to try crochet, Tunisian and Mosaic appealed to me and I'm sort of working the same way--few projects and lots of test swatches (followed by blocking where I found I probably shouldn't judge stitches until they were blocked). Also just recently discovered double ended Tunisian with multiple colors. SO much to learn but such fun......

@@picnicphoto I also tried my hand on yarn dyeing before and loved it. You are right with the "what if". If you are into Tunisian Mosaic, you must watch my website next week Wednesday. I have collaborated with Knitter Knotter this year to design a block for her Tcal 2022. My block will be released next week and you'll like it. A mosaic variation something...😉😁 If all goes well, there might be a video on it too 😁🌺

Hello Laurie. Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. Doing a border like that is a brilliant idea. I agree 100% that it will eliminate that fiddly on the foundation row with all the color changes. But, if you are up for a challenge, you can fiddle. Have you started yet and how is your progress doing?

Thanks! The first row or two of any project always takes the most patience. I've got this on my to do list. I should try to finish at least 1 WIP before I tackle this. Your projects are great inspiration.

So sorry I missed your question 😞 You fit as many stitches on your hook az the circumference of the circle or spiral will allow. You will never be able to fit them all before ypu have to do some return pass when working in the round, so hook lenght will not really matter.

Hello Joyce. I am so glad someone else feels about it the same way as I do 😁👌🏻🌸

Thank you so much for your compliment, Tamar. xx

Melinda, thank you so much for your kind comments. Enjoy your TC journey. It’s addictive 😉🌸

Hello Eve. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I do appreciate it. And enjoy your TC journey. I also still learn something new every day. xx
