Hi Tiffany. Could you check your email re: #ABC please?

[@philipmeadows1674]

Total novice, looked at a few videos but this is crystal clear, nice speed and great explanations, thank you so much.

I have been crocheting for years and would consider my level as intermediate to advanced. My crochet projects have inspired the ladies I work with to start crocheting as well. I have shown them a few keys to getting started. But there’s not enough time during our lunch breaks to show them a lot. So I have shared this video with them. Tiffany I love your tutorials and have made many of your projects. This video covers everything they need to get started crocheting 🧶 Thanks Tiffany for making these wonderful video 😃

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh my gosh Lora thank you so much for sharing my Getting Started video with others. I am so honored that you, someone who has years of crochet experience and even patterns you have shared with other would like my video enough to share it. Thank you for crocheting with me in my projects and letting me be a part of your crochet journey! 🤗🤗😊🧡🧡🧶🧶

Thanks for this tutorial. I learned something new although I have been crocheting for awhile. This is a refreshers tutorial for me.

This is excellent advice, I sent this video to my friend who is a beginner. Thank you😊

[@Lisa..4]

This is an excellent video for beginners.

[@valeriehowden471]

Great beginner tips. I will forward along to some 10 year olds wanting to learn. My grandmother taught me and I found the knife hold comfortable. My grade 5 teacher tried to teach a few students how to crochet and she was determined that the pencil hold was THE ONLY WAY. Let's just say I didn't last long with her classes.

[@susandoney4656]

Thank you so much for your tips I have only been crocheting a year and have found a few of them quite useful stay safe and take care I'm from Western Australia 🇦🇺😊🤗😊🌹🌹🌹

Thank you i havent done crocheting before and i started one of your blanket tutorials ( im a visual learner so your videos with step by step are great!) and i had a friend who used to ball her yarn, wasn't sure if i needed to do this 😊

[@barbodonnell6826]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a 7yr granddaughter that is trying to learn and I am not a teacher lol this was so very helpful for both of usq

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Kaye! This is so great! I’m glad my video can help. 😊❤️🧶

[@carolinecrawford7927]

So grateful to have found this video and mini series for beginners! I'll be rewinding these several times while I get started!! Thank you🤗💙

[@laurenj8517]

I wish I'd tried to learn with a pale coloured aran 😄 nope, I went straight in with DK in ALL OF THE COLOURS. Yeah. I've since purchased a ball of pale coloured stuff that I use to practice new stitches!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Haha I believe I was guilty of doing this myself. We learn 😄❤️🧶

[@laurenj8517]

I've been crocheting a couple of months now and I'm a fairly confident beginner, but I still need a super bright light for the darkest colours. I won't be attempting a dark coloured project anytime too soon 😄

[@mercedesgiron7561]

Hi Tiffany. Thank u for this video. I only have a few days that I began to crotchet. True beginner . Teaching myself and listening to all types of beginners video. Thank u very much

[@cryptidkid]

Thank you so much for making this video :))) not a total beginner but never been officially thought, so tips are the biggest welcome Quick question for anyone; i've just realised i naturally have been yarning under for so long, does this matter? I can yarn over, but my default seems to be y/u as said, more natural for me :D so yeah basically is this something i should fix? 😅

[@charlesamullin1018]

What store were you walking in that had all that yard? That is a paradise.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Charlesa! This was Hobby Lobby. 😊❤️🧶

[@charlesamullin1018]

My Hobby Lobby doesn't have that much yarn... lol

[@roxanneuduku7249]

Hello, I have just started to experimenting crochet by using my fingers- for example I've made a scarf and a couple of headbands. Could you recommend any video of yours that is just for beginners only?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Roxanne!! Yes! Check out this beanie video as one example of the absolute beginner projects you can find on my channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4fcq2d5jstsi6M

[@sallyannmales4676]

I'm confused about yarn weight. I'm Australian and we use ply. I want to crochet baby set, pattern sais dk. So, I looked up dk and what did I find. Dk is 8 ply and 4 ply. Can you help me please

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Sally! Oh gosh that can be confusing for sure. I will provide my favorite chart that helps me convert yarn weight: pin.it/s2ZGWNd. If I were you I would familiarize myself with each ply of yarn to see what an 8 ply yarn thickness looks like. What a 10 ply yarn, 4 ply yarn looks like. That way when you look at a pattern it’s easier for you to decipher what yarn they are most likely using. It’s tough but I hope this helps. 😊❤️🧶

[@carolscrazycrochetmore5093]

I have a question that is a bit embarrassing for me. What do I do when my hands get sweaty and the yarn won’t glide through them? Please help anyone!?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Carol! Haha it happens to all of us. It’s ok. When this happens I dry my hands with a towel or wash them real good to get the oils off. If this is a constant problem for you there are actually fingerless gloves that you can get from your local craft store or online. They are blue in color. I got some once because my hands dry out in the winter and will crack sometimes. But they take some getting use to. Hope this helps! 😊❤️🧶

[@carolscrazycrochetmore5093]

@@CrochetWithTiffany I found some moisture wicking, compression, fingerless gloves on Amazon. I never even knew such a thing existed!! Thank you so much!! 😊💚😊💚
