#49 - Changing Color in Crocheted Thermal Stitch

Learn how to successfully change colors and carry the yarn up the edge of your Thermal Stitch project when working with two or more colors. There’s no need to cut the yarn at the end of each colored section. Just carry it up the side instead!
I’ll show you how to carry the unused yarn up the side so it’s barely noticeable, eliminating extra ends/tails that need to be woven in. Soon you’ll be able to use up lots of yarn scraps to make more Thermal Stitch Potholders to use or give as gifts!
To learn how to do the Thermal Stitch, watch this video:

Thank you SO much for your videos. You are very informative and thorough. This is the second video I have watched, and I plan on continuing watching everything you do I also appreciate the bloopers that I saw on your original thermal stitch which I just saw ten days ago. Please continue your wonderful teachings!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're SO welcome, Kimberly! Thank you for your kind words and for leaving a comment. I'm glad you like my videos and I hope you will learn more from each video you watch. There are bloopers at the end of most of my videos and my husband does some funny sketches in some of my videos, as well. I plan to continue my videos as often as I can so stay tuned for more, as time allows. Happy crocheting to you now and always!

Ok, now i have to get a scale. Thanks so much for the tutorial.

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome for the tutorial, Nancy! You won't regret getting a scale. They come in so handy in knowing if you'll have enough yarn or not. Happy crocheting!

[@verladavis3808]

Oh I am sorry I could not watch the changing color in thermal stitch when it first appeared on my KZbin notifications. I have an issue that I can't crochet when I am laying on the floor rolling with laughter. I may never be able to crochet again!!!!!!🤣🤣. Well at least he is kinda staying in character.... Captain!?!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

I sure hope you're able to crochet again, Verla! I'm blessed that I'm married to such a funny guy! He keeps life interesting! Keep laughing AND crocheting always!

[@dhduncan]

I’m a new subscriber your channel and just have learned so much. Thank you! I’m still looking for in a neat way to do a two-sided thermal stitch pot holder. One color different each side if you ever do a video on that it would be awesome!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome, Heather! Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I'm so glad that you're learning a lot! Hmm! I've never thought about doing a Thermal Stitch potholder that has 2 different colored sides! I'll have to play around with that! If I'm successful, I'll do a video on it for sure!

[@Patchesmama21]

Love your tutorials!! You are adorable!! Can I adopt you as my grandma?!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bethany! I'm a grandma to 4 grandchildren, so sure, you can adopt me as your grandma!

[@barbarawilson834]

I forgot to mention how attractive the pot holders are!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Barbara! I'm glad you like them! I did end up doing 2 less rows on the coral colored potholder, just in case. I don't win very often when playing "yarn chicken" and I didn't feel like ripping back most of the potholder if I calculated incorrectly! I hope your potholders turn out beautiful!

[@mtonlife]

Funny intro! 😂

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thanks! Happy crocheting to you!

I'm glad you like it! Happy crocheting to you!

I cannot hear the audio from your videos for some reason. Please fix it.

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thanks for your comment, Ali. I think the problem may lie in the volume setting you have when watching videos. You can find that adjustable setting (on a PC) in the bottom left-hand of the videos. It's just to the right of the icon that looks like a speaker/megaphone. You can drag the volume bar to make the volume higher or lower. I'm not sure where the volume control is on a smart phone, though. Happy crocheting to you!
