HAVANA CAL - Introduction & Color Technique

[@doreestone4487]

Your joie de vivre is contagious. You may be Icelandic, but the Italian in me connects with you very well. Love your work, your enthusiasm, your clarity, simplicity, and brevity in your instructions. You breathe life, joy, beauty, and gratitude into a world which is in serious need of all of those things. Thank you, Tinna. And please, continue to do what you do so very well. By the way, the link to your Ravelry store no longer works.

[@juliemclaughlin466]

I bought this and made it years ago. It was the first mosaic I had ever done, and I've been in love with mosaic ever since. Thank you so much for your time and work you put into this.❤❤❤❤❤

[@nancysue3804]

I love that it is closed captioned for us deaf crocheters!!! Thank you thank you!!

[@sandragibbons1127]

I am another deaf hooker and very appreciative of the subtitles. Many thanks.

[@minakiespiegs2755]

how can we buy the book please

[@lizziemccann2921]

I am hard of hearing, so I enjoy the cc also. It really helps!

[@anitadeclerck6000]

I am fairly new to crochet, about 7 years now, and I never stop learning. Crochet is my first love, even though I discovered it a bit late in my life (I was 50). My second love is mosaic, so you can understand why this is blowing me away! I have always been contrast colour crazy, so this is up my alley. I cannot wait to start!! Thank you very much for this!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Anita De Clerck oh I’m so happy to hear!! ❤️ did you give it a go by now? 😘

[@anitadeclerck6000]

@@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar yes but only baby steps - I call it practice 😁. I am going to purchase one of your patterns.

[@dortesjs]

Hi Tinna, I often watch your videos and am very inspired by them and am now working on a rug where I crochet several mosaic patterns, thanks for the videos and inspiration

[@suestutzle2779]

Hi Tinna, I have just recently purchased the Havana Cal pattern and I have made a start. I am so happy I found you. I love doing mosaic crochet. It is so exciting to see the pattern come alive. Thank you so much for your expert instructions. You are very easy to understand. I am a native English speaker and considering English is your second language your English is so good and your instructions so clear I prefer you to some native English Speakers who cannot express themselves as clearly as you do. I love your work. Thank you.

[@niclavdm]

Apart from the beautiful blanket, you are making me want to visit Havana!!!

Thankyou Tina, adore the causal way you have welcomed everyone to your Havana, and encouraged the use of stash and not to be concern of ply..just so inspiring .⚘

Hi!!! This is the first time that I have the chance to see you channel. It's amazing! I've never seen such a beautiful work of art. It's hard to think that it's a crochet pattern. The only think that scared me was the ends, but when you showed us the nice border to hide all those ends, I was so happy!! My mind is boiling now😂 thinking about what colors I'll choose. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful stitch with us!!💖💋

When you finish crochet then use washing it by hands although I am worried about the colour wool come off and touch to another different colour which was spoiled colour. How can I prevent spoil colour during the washing and I want staying colour on each different colour rows as seem look beautiful colour. Do you understand what I mean? Thank you. 🥰❤️👍
