Fixing my Crochet Projects!!

[@aliwilson4130]

It’s so nice to see you revisiting the things you didn’t love and remaking them. I think it’s so important to learn how to un-f a project.

I have a suggestion for the Fall Out Boy Sweater! Totally fine if you don't want to do it, but I thought I would throw this out there. Have you ever soaked your acrylic projects in hair conditioner? It "relaxes" the stitches and makes the yarn overall a lot softer. I haven't done this with a colorwork pattern, so I do fear you will end up seeing more of the yarn you carried come through the front, but it could be worth experimenting with something you don't care about as much first. This is how I do it: Fill a container (or you can fill your whole tub if you want) with hot water high enough so your project is fully submerged. Then pour in hair conditioner (I buy the cheapest stuff I can find so I don't waste stuff I actually use for my hair) on the garment. I rub it in as much as possible so every part of the garment has conditioner soaked in. Then I leave it soaking for at least 4 hours, 6-8 is probably better. After that time, I wring out as much water as possible and then I tumble dry (usually in a garment bag). If you don't want to put it in the dryer, you can roll it up in a towel to get out the excess moisture and lay flat to dry. It will probably take a few days to dry that way, but it's totally an option. When it's fully dry, the whole garment will be longer and be overall less stiff, AND will smell like lovely hair conditioner (so make sure to pick one you like the smell of!).

Don’t know why I read it as f’in up my crochet projects lol I was like wow that’s aggressive, I’m here for it 😅 me too sis I f up a lot of crochet projects

[@theminimalistninja]

I really love that you re-worked previous projects to make them fit better! :) & yes, your cate really is the cutest! *.*

[@TheCoolishOne]

Omg...FINALLY!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO LIKE FOREVER. Love your videos and say hello to you cat.❤❤❤❤

[@coolcat4104]

Your cat is so cute. My cat gets cat hair all over my crochet items, too. She always tries to pick at them and lay all over them. You're awesome and always make me want to crochet every time I see your videos.❤❤❤

[@michelle_jasek]

My cat only wants my attention when I’m crocheting 😂

[@Sleepystitcheskim]

I snorted when you rage snipped the collar 😂

[@Tinasknittingneedle]

Girl, your hair is looking extra pretty today!! This vid is giving me motivation to fix a .ot of my older items. 😊

[@shakiraholmes7625]

I love watching your videos as I crochet. Can’t get enough ❤

[@saskia105]

Tacking would work for sure, but maybe a lil interfacing would work too? That way it would still be free floating.

[@spencer6366]

Love the video, and I believe Pippin honours their name haha

[@thepvds6284]

This video was great! I'm still fairly new to crocheting, but it's awesome to learn how to fix projects you're not totally in love with. And that it's okay to do so! 😊

[@bethknapp4935]

Loved this!!! I didn't mind the collar overlapping the graphic, I thought it looked cute! Maybe just tack them down so it dosen't curl? The other sweaters came out so much better as well. You look adorable in them all. ❤

[@yarnyboy]

I loved watching you work on fixing things. (And Hi Pippin!) Watching you make these items inspired me to make a shirt/sweater for my Halloween costume! It sounds bad but your honest struggles with things really helped me.

[@michelle_jasek]

That’s awesome! For me if something doesn’t go wrong on a crochet project, then I’m worried! Lol

[@malujan]

Pippin is a star.

[@m1croot]

Thanks so much for the instructions on the collar 🙏🏻

[@Hellsbells888]

I really love your birthday cardigan. You are very talented.

[@oldmomma56]

I have always had trouble not fixating on imperfections on a project. Like a certain Disney princess said, “Let it go! Let it go!”.

[@abaeterno]

August is the blessed month in which Pippin has decided to make her official debut

[@madsxmitchell]

I just found your channel and am in love w your videos! I also have a tuxedo cat named pippin hehehe. Mine is a stinky lil boy though 😌 sending lots of love

[@michelle_jasek]

Omg that is so cute!! 🐱

[@tinalin7180]

[@hellohellokitty]

would love to know if you use them now that you've "fixed" them! perhaps in a future video! :)

[@michelle_jasek]

I actually wore the brown button up today😊

[@hellohellokitty]

@@michelle_jasek no way!!! that's super, it must've felt so good!! if only you could share some of your "time to fix my old projects" energy with the rest of us, haha

What do you use to pixel a picture for your project?
