[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Awesome tips, Toni!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 So excited that we got to do this collab together!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Never thought we’d get this iconic collaboration soon! 🔥

[@smallthingsstitches9053]

Every Saturday morning I wake up, settle with my crochet and fur baby on the couch, and check your channel and Elise’s channel. I spend Saturday mornings with the two of you. This is the crossover of my dreams!!! Thank you - I can’t wait to watch!!!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

awwww love the ritual!! i'm sure elise would agree that we're so grateful to spend our saturdays with you as well. thanks for the support! xo

[@Bodille]

The first part of hack 4 gives the exact same result as to pull through with the new colour. The second part of the hack is what makes a difference. Many great hacks ❤❤❤

[@evalovesbubbles]

I was also thinking this, you go back through the same two loops right? The second part does make it look nice and clean!

[@harukastorm4]

The first part can help with tension in the color change. But only if you make a few stiches in the new color befor you remove the extra loop. But other than that yes, the yarn takes te exact same path, so no difference there.

[@joicain318]

I walked into YI in my state and they told me to call you for help and gave me your info. I had no idea you were so iconic on KZbin and that we were practically neighbors. I never called but I’m just want you to know how proud I am proud to see how far you’ve come and how well you’ve done&

[@quietone748]

That zig zag join is something completely new for me and I LOVE it. Great video, Toni! I watched Elise's video as well. Two of my favorite creators in a collab. What a dream!

[@Ellie.IsSmart]

A video with elise the collab we never knew we needed

[@sam-ib6lk]

THE collab of the century omg !!

[@craftingToni]

Yes

[@TheFroggie66]

Invisible needle join is also called the Russian Join. It’s one of my all time faves for joining same color yarns. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@montanalilac]

Goodness. I feel like I just watched the first time someone put peanut butter and chocolate together….world changing and FABULOUS! Love both you girls!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

hack videos are just so satisfying, right? thanks for watching! xo

[@TechInterpreter]

Unfortunately, i just broke my arm so I'm not crocheting right now. But i did use your link to get the book. At least i can be learning while I'm healing! I enjoyed the video.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

oh noooo! fingers crossed for a quick healing process and plenty of your favorite shows to watch in the meantime. xo

[@oscarescobar6876]

The color change trick is the same as normally done but with extra steps, although your addition is a good tip taking that extra loop that is created when picking up the thread

[@savannamm]

It just keeps the tension consistent with the stitches doing it that way

[@angelacoleman8426]

I IMMEDIATELY purchased this book! It Is 100% worth it!!!! Toni can't scratch the surface because it's obviously copyrighted but....if you can BUY IT!

[@cruzianfibergeek]

Two of my favorites: Toni and Elise.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

These are fantastic tips Toni! Thank you for picking these tips to share. 🤗🩶🧶

[@amydavis4945]

I use the "standing double" for **everything** - not just rounds and hats. I use it for blankets for neater edges, shawls, scarves, etc.

[@brandysmith-n3g]

I Love that Granny Stitch Zig Zag Join. It looks so pretty. Thank You for Sharing this video.

[@marcy7162]

The zig zag join is similar to what is used with the circular knitting machines like the Addi, when you knit a tube and need to close the ends to make a scarf.

[@skyelorspacex]

Hey Toni! Just wondering what breed your dog is? I ask as I have two schnauzers (I’ve had 3 in total) and your dog looks like it may have some schnauzer in it Also my childhood dog was named pepper so seeing your dog and the nicknames you use truly make me smile

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I'm not quite sure of the breed. We got him from a family member who got him from a shelter :-)

[@lashaunharvey8950]

Hi Toni, I want to say I love your videos, and I have learned a lot of things. I saw your video about organization. I use small storage bins because I had projects all over the house. Also, I am trying to go thrall my uncomplicated projects as well. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep teaching.

[@kathybaker6798]

Thank you for sharing

[@JessicainNM]

Thank you so much! I'm definitely getting the book. As usual, wonderful, clear explanations.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

you're gonna love it! thanks for checking out my video :-)

[@noelleparris9451]

I don't crochet a lot but the hacks you demonstrated were great and they make me want this book 😊. And one for the friend who taught me to crochet!

[@verakristinarobinson7013]

Great these hacks are all in one book. Some have been around for years like the alternative stitch instead of chains. ("A stitch less ordinary" used it and there's an easier version of it too.). If you use the pencil grip hold the twisted loop with your middle finger instead of the index finger while finishing the stitch.

[@Shan-2024]

That joining the yarn hack just genius it is a little bit fiddly the thinner the yarn but not a problem at all

[@TLYarnCrafts]

thanks for the insight - i was wondering how it would go with thinner yarn.

[@Jamilahwithanh]

These were some of my favorite tips too! Especially color change! I’m still working on my join techniques.

[@riverramblings4843]

I will be getting this book!!! The join is amazing and I have a project I will definitely use this hack on. You are as many have said - an amazing teacher and you got me to tackle tunisian again thru your book!

[@littlemissmel88]

I'm going to pick my jaw up off the floor and order this book!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

lol I had to do the same! this book is chock full of great info for us crocheters :-)

[@valeriegriffith3415]

I just ordered the book and I can't wait until I get it

[@TLYarnCrafts]

yayyy! you're gonna love it. there are lots of treasures in there :-)

[@gingerbreadorgingerbell1045]

😮 Hack #4 blew my mind. Thank you for the hack and I’m to buy the book, hopefully as a e-book.❤😮😮💜

[@LittleLlamaCrochet]

wow this was super helpful! I've been working a chain between my rounds but I can't wait to try the standing double crochet stitch. Also that colour change 😻 Thank you for sharing 🌼

[@fionastube2011]

I bought this the instant I saw it, and glad I did!

[@nancyfaraday6117]

Hey Toni! It was interesting to see your and Elise's two different personalities in this collaboration. Elise was very enthusiastic as always, but I really appreciate the way that you focussed on honouring and highlighting the writer of the book throughout your video.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

our styles are different, but complimentary - she's such a sweetheart and a blast to work with. thanks for supporting both videos! xo

[@crazypinkchick5557]

Hello Toni, I am glad I followed lovely Elise's advice to come check your channel out. She is right u explain and demonstrate beautifully. Now I will have to go check out more of your channel to c what I have been missing out on !😊 Love and prayers from Australia🇦🇺🐨 💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏🧶🧶🧶

[@TLYarnCrafts]

welcome to the TLYC family, friend!! enjoy popping around the channel - there's a lot to see :-)

[@crazypinkchick5557]

@@TLYarnCrafts ta heaps, Toni💗🙏🧶

[@HeroicLeigh]

that color change one is a gamechanger. brb off to make all the color work wall hangings

[@fredacopeland2340]

Yes! I have this book. Got it as soon as it came out!!!

[@coloradocorri]

Zig zag join is one of my absolute favorites! ❤️

[@TLYarnCrafts]

i can't believe I hadn't seen it before. instant love! xo

[@janethopper3462]

Hi from the UK, I bought your book and waiting for it to arrive. My Nana taught me to crochet granny squares when I was about 8, I am 63 now and have taught my self to read patterns but haven't really made anything beyond blankets, hats, scarves and a couple of ponchos. Now I feel ready to try other garments now

[@sweethaven5]

My FAVORITE two gals!!😊

[@HoniBear68]

Oh Toni, these type of videos is one of many reasons why I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. You are a joy, I love your energy ❤.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

squeeee - thank you!!! so glad you're still enjoying the channel after all this time. xo

[@valeriehowden471]

The last 2 hacks are perfection! Going to watch Elise's video now then find the book.

[@anastigter8611]

Loved the tips. Bought the book. I’ve never in my life have bought a book within five minutes of knowing of its existence 😂❤🎉

[@TLYarnCrafts]

totally worth the impulse buy :-)

[@ann-mariemeyers9978]

Love these two women!😊

[@bettysilsbee879]

I love all the hints, especially the color change and zig zag joins.

[@justdi3347]

Hi Toni, yes as others have said, a much awaited colab. I recently learned the color change from Play Hooky with me but I didn’t know the part about bringing in that joined color to make it look even more seemless. Love the granny join as well. This book will most definitely be going on my watch list. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@DonnaHarjo]

These are such great ideas to do when I crochet. I'm somewhat of a beginner. But I love these. Thank you

[@TLYarnCrafts]

i'm so glad you found them helpful :-)

[@gracemcchesneypeterman934]

Can't believe I caught this live.. love watching Elise and you together...❤❤❤

[@toniantiporda9024]

Okay, I used the zigzag join on your Tobago Bag and I love it! Might use that to join a lot of projects now

[@jenniferhuff2566]

Awesome hacks! Thanks for sharing. I especially love the zig zag join of granny squares. 😊Sounds like I need to buy the book.

[@vernetawerkmeister6269]

Wow, great ideas. Thank you to the author and to you for sharing. 👏👏

[@amy4566]

🧶♥️Loved this video and your channel. This book is on my list!

[@denisemmathis2321]

Thanks for sharing this new book and the crochet gems it contains. It's a MUST reference book for all crocherers.😊

[@tympestbooks1727]

That color change hack was just unbearably satisfying to watch

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I saw Elise Rose's video and now yours, and I'm convinced that I need to get this book. So awesome! Thank you for the preview.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

it's a great book and totally worth a spot on your shelf :-)

[@dimpledface9707]

@TLYarnCrafts Thanks, Toni. I have so many crochet books from your book review videos and I have your Tunisian book. Have yet to try that.

[@heatherstaringmelnick2055]

I’m making a granny tote as a gift for a friend, and I am going to try the zig zag join!!

[@justinanovak8040]

Oh my goodness thank you for the collaboration, and the book review!❤

[@justinanovak8040]

Btw love your tutorials❤

[@stephenwick743]

Thank you Toni! You always demonstrate so beautifully. We can see very clearly exactly what you are showing to us.

[@GaminGawdess]

Ohhh this will make some serious crochet bosses!!! I also noticed your blush Furls😁 I am Furls fiend and we won't talk about how many sets I have...but do use them🤣🤣

[@TLYarnCrafts]

as long as you use them, right? lol

[@martebergman4669]

OMG! The joining technique!! 😮

[@TLYarnCrafts]

right?! blew my mind, too

[@mariephillips1393]

I bought this book after watching you and Elise. So happy to see y’all working together.

[@nikkismojo]

Great Video, Toni! Great book! I love being able to find such useful tips and information all in one place. This book won’t be collecting dust on my shelves. 🐝🧶💕🙂

[@blackroseinbloom]

Omg I'm totally using hacks 3 and 4 when making gifts for friends

[@messytexy]

My two faves coming together?!?! Hells yeah.

[@YarnsmithAmber]

I found hack 3 interesting. I typically use linked dc's if I have to step up - though I also typically hang out in the amigu world anymore, so I spiral without stepping up 95% of the time. But now I want to experiment. haha

[@meowmeowf4916]

Wow. Love the way you explain everything. Thank you

[@SaraJaneKotowski]

Hats are very challenging for me. ❤these.

[@CraftyNan80]

Received the CROCHET SECRETS book today

[@TLYarnCrafts]

so glad we could deliver. elise is such a sweet heart - hope we can do it again!! XO

[@firewordsparkler]

omg two queens maximizing your joint slay

[@ShadeTreeReads]

These are going to be so good for my next project. I'm working on your Daphne blanket to be gifted to a friend's new baby and just love how it's coming together. Also, I had to go get myself one of those rose gold hooks because they're just gorgeous and I need more metal hooks for all the cotton yarn I'll be using in my next project. Thank you!

[@dolls4em782]

This is my new favorite way to join yarn I just lurned it back in April!¡!

[@sheliahood2288]

Mine too!!

[@michellepiazza7698]

That zigzag join is absolutely gorgeous. I used it to join intarsia panels for a blanket I did recently and it it just made the whole thing pop in a good way 😊

[@colleendkatt]

I just bought it on Amazon! Can't wait! I'm a beginner 😊

[@Redwillow34]

New to watching your channel and I love how you work through each of the hacks. My favorite was the color change! I have to try it 🤩🤩

[@rosebrown839]

My 2 Favorite teachers of together! I'm so lucky ❣️I get my cake & get to eat it too ❣️❣️❣️

[@rosebrown839]

Forgot to tell you which was my favorite hack...hmmm....do I hafta choose one??🤪 The needle knot! It's gonna save me the hassle of trying to hide my little knots without messing up the pattern of my projects.😁😁

[@DaraS84]

Been crocheting since 2004 and these are awesome!!

[@Aleah_kay]

The collab i've been waiting for

[@jessicajustice3367]

Came over from Elise's channel. Thank you for sharing the book and your favorite tips.

[@LisaBrook-rx2qj]

I hate sewing granny squares. Will definitely be trying that. Add a new colour and using it as a boarder could definitely add something more to the blanket. Thanks for the tip and I will definitely have to get the book.

[@swankelly]

I watched this the other day and when she got to hack three, I thought to myself, "There's no seamless join". I thought I'd tried them all. I hadn't this one though. Since hen I've used it on some scrubbies and granny squares and it's the closest, to seamless, I've sever seen the join. We'll always use it now. 100%. Thanks :)

[@beverlyjohns2659]

That color change hack is amazing!!! I love it .. thank you🥰

[@tiannagraham5210]

Oh hecks yeah!!! I will be sat in my chair, I have all weekend dogsitting and being able to craft to my heart’s content so I will be here
