Knitting with it hurts my hands but I love the result

[@CraftwithJess]

I used to have that problem but I found playing around with the hook size helped, and taking breaks. You definitely can't do a t-shirt yarn project in 1 sitting with happy hands :D

Hello Jess may I know what size hook do I use for t shirt yarn do reply kind regards Sandy Kasi South Africa Kzn Durban tc God bless 🙏🙌❤

[@CraftwithJess]

Hi Sandy! Hello from Italy :) I usually use size 10mm for t-shirt yarn because I like my work to be pretty tight, but you can use a size 12mm if it is more comfortable, or a size 15mm! Thanks for following.

I have a huge garbage bag full of my husband's old work shirts waiting to be turned into yarn. I plan on using them to crochet a GIANT cat cave/hut (similar to the one at 0:38-0:39). One of our cats is way too big to fit in anything you can buy, but he loves huts so much! It's heartbreaking buying something new just to watch him try (and fail) to fit in it. I'm just waiting until I can figure out how to make one and then figure out how to (at least) double the size. If anyone could point me in the direction of a site or video or something that might help, I (and Winston) would greatly appreciate it!

[@CraftwithJess]

oh my gosh, I need to make a video for that and borrow somone's cat! Why do you need to double the size?

[@katek.3361]

@CraftwithJess I apologize for the late response... I hope you do; that would be awesome! I've been crocheting on and off for about 20 years (more off than on), so videos are extremely helpful. I've seen some on YT, but they are all WAY too small and I'm worried if I try to make it bigger (without someone telling me how), I'll end up having to start over a lot more times than I'd like and eventually just give up. (That wouldn't be the first time that's happened, lol...) As bad as I want to make him one, I want to make sure I don't start it until I know how to do everything so it actually gets finished because I know how much he'll like it and how happy he'd be having one he can actually get in! I said I would have to at least double the size because I assume it wouldn't be much (if any) bigger than ones you can buy online or in stores (or than other ones made on YT) and unfortunately, those just are not even close to being big enough for him. I'm guessing it would have to be at least as big around as the Moses Basket (on your channel) is long in order to fit him comfortably. Winston is probably the sweetest cat in the world, but his size is massive, lol. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was part Maine Coon... I will definitely be watching too see if you decide to do one!

What fabric is your t shirt yarn? Does a cotton one make equally good looking items?

[@rayskitten78]

It's usually cotton or polyester

[@lilacKurage]

I love how everything has a name and then 0:34 "whatever the hell this is" lol

[@CraftwithJess]

it's another placemat :D

[@lilacKurage]

@@CraftwithJess ohhh thanks!!! I tought they where little floor mats!! 😅

[@sdavis2633]

I didn't find the how-to for the pillow covers on your Ravelry link.

[@CraftwithJess]

Hi! I don't have a pattern for pillow covers unfortunately. This video is just a compilation for helpful ideas. I do however have rug and basket patterns.

[@shellw.3673]

What an awesome video. Where do I find the instructions on making that super-cool baby hammock?! :-)

[@CraftwithJess]

Hi shell! Ohhhhh that baby hammock isn't my pattern so I cannot say. I would check Etsy, Ravelry, or in the Chunky Crochet Group on Facebook, they may know. My patterns in this video were all the home decor pieces like the rugs and baskets.

[@laifa40]

How much price is this Not sewed pattern I want crochet woll

[@staciajones5529]

Where do you buy t shirt yarn? I haven't found any stores in the U.S. that sell it.

[@mkbunny7]

You can make it yourself out of old shirts. There are lots of tutorials how to do it :)

[@samanthabolduc3238]

[@omaeve]
