how do you up load a document into stitch fiddler? I'm not seeing an option for that. thanks for your help

[@BrendaHammond1973]

24 x's 3 = 72...LOL :D

The Crochet Crowd,por favor puedes poner sub títulos en español?. Muchas gracias,un saludo!

[@noyabayna]

I am a beginner in tapestry crochet and this is like heaven to me! Thank you so much for the complete guidelines! ❤

[@loriterry1369]

Another tip for myself when determining right side and wrong side: I use the tail of the foundation chain as a guide to right or wrong side. If the tail is to my left, I'm on the right side. If the tail is to my right, I'm on the wrong side. Just a simple tip. And just because I'm anal, I find that sc is better than double crochet as far as the end floats. I abhor the end floats on the dc tapestry but I've kind of learned to live with it because it's something that is unavoidable. Currently I'm working on a tapestry crochet project from yarnspirations. The snowflake blanket. I also am going to join the squares differently since I don't like that sc ridge.

[@tiffaneyraftery5232]

Lori Terry omg genius idea with using the tail to show you the right or wrong side of your work! I’m watching videos to learn tapestry crochet, never done it before. This is why I love the internet. Because people can add their personal tips as well, which help out people like me! Thanks💕

[@JaneSmith0709]

What is an end float?

This is the single-most useful video on the internet. You win!

[@jaclynscott4440]

((24x3=72 boxes)) I love this tutorial!!!! I have been looking for a tutorial on tapestry, but never found one that was as great detail as this one is!!! Thank you so much, Mikey!!!

[@WooHooCrossStitch]

Isn't this one awesome? It made the penny drop in my head for sure but as you said, I was also yelling at my laptop, 3 x 24 = 72 lol) Or maybe he just did that to make sure everyone was listening?! Great video!

[@danathorn1992]

Yes, that drove me crazy, too! It's 72 boxes, Mikey! 😁

[@rudaaga6660]

Pierwsza rzecz, którą zrobiłam to przeszłam do komentarzy, żeby sprawdzić kto jeszcze zgłupiał od jego matematyki. Na szczęście tutorial ratuje całość.

[@loriterry1369]

Also, I like to carry my yarn throughout because of thickness consistency. Just my personal preference. Mikey, I have been watching you for 10 years now, and my crochet skills have grown because of you and other people who provide valuable techniques. ❤️❤️💯

[@lauraeleazer2396]

Mikey, I just want you to know what a great teacher you are. I have watched many of your tutorials snd you really make such a difference! So inspiring and inspirational! Thank you so very much for all you do!! I have never done any kind of graph work before and because of you my grandson will have the numbers blanket he wants for his 6th birthday! I cannot thank you enough!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm glad this could make sense for you.

[@MrGladiator101]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I have an order for 5 hats (skull caps) with the letters SYLB in the hat. I have been wracking my brain, trying to figure out how to get it in there and look decent. And you are correct...the letters were looking italicized and just didn't look appealing. This is SO going to work! This is the answer. Thanks again.

[@cindysebastiani998]

Thank you for all the years of education you have given us. I could not crochet for the life of me. Different people tried to teach me but I just wasn’t getting it. Then I found your channel and now I am becoming a crocheter. Thank you so much. You are greatly appreciated.

[@fionapodmore7085]

I've just started Tapestry crochet and I think this is the best tutorial I've found especially with the changing of colours. Thank you

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@poppywhisman544]

I’m always second guessing myself when I work with this technique so I’m thankful to have this video to go back to to refresh my memory. Lol! You always explain things so well!

[@EsainM]

This tutorial has so many useful tips, I'm in love with this 😍 thank you so much for making this video!!

[@lizziemccann2921]

Thanks for this video! I have never done tapestry crochet, and this is a helpful guide for beginners. I understand the basics of color changing now!

[@katiepop1940]

Absolutely brilliant tutorials covering everything I needed. The tip of attaching different colours to either side so you know what is your good side etc was a fantastic tip and really helped me in not getting confused which way is up lol Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏

[@ameliapereira716]

You're the best teacher ever!!! I'm new to this technique, so thank you for the lovely tutorial. 🙂

[@kimgage4364]

A tip I picked up doing tapestry is if you crochet in the back loops your work will not zig zag. It will appear on top of the stitches beneath and flow better.

[@kimgage4364]

Love your videos!!!

[@jatoha]

Would you do back loop on one side and front loop on the other or back loop on both?

[@kimgage4364]

Jess A no always front loops

[@mpurohit90]

I'm confused do you do front or back loops?

[@arikanudoka6023]

@@mpurohit90 if you back loop on one side, you go through the front loop when you turn your work.

[@Samurai_soup]

thank youuuuuu this is amazing and so much better than looking for tons of different videos with different techniques

[@Mrgreen1110]

I just wanted to say your videos have made my craft sooo much better and I really appreciate your effort ❤️

This answered all my questions… thank you, Mikey!

[@mezibelle5870]

This my first time crocheting by gragh and this is just the information I needed. Thanks for the tips!!

[@WooHooCrossStitch]

Oh my, you just made the penny drop when you explained the gauge!! That is such great information for me, thank you! I'm a cross stitcher and have been trying to translate some of my simple patterns into crochet patterns. I think I've got it now, thank you!

[@WooHooCrossStitch]

But, 3 x 24 is definitely 72 not 62. :)

[@gagaloo83]

Thank you!! Ive been looking online at how to do this. Watched a few videos, but didn't feel confident. lol. So now I'm going to watch yours and I'll get it for sure!

[@anasheru]

Thankyou so much...You explain everything in detail...Your videos clear all my doubts...I have tried most of ur projects esp. Mermaid Tears purse is loved by everyone .I had many doubts about tapestry crocheting technique ...Ur videos help me a lot..thanku once again.

[@JaneSmith0709]

Those 2 different colored yarn markers are a genius idea!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's the only way I can do it and not get lost.

[@JaneSmith0709]

@@TheCrochetCrowd It's much faster and easier than looking for the original tail.

[@stephanieburns8365]

I’m so grateful for this. I’m a cross stitcher so reading charts is second nature but I just got into crochet (I learned simple basics years ago but now I want to apply my knowledge to actual projects) and I want to make a pillow for my daughter with her favorite band logo on it. Now I honestly believe I can do it!!

[@elenaluzz]

Just wonderful video! Game changer! Thank you, Mikey!

Thank you for sharing your skills and having patience in explaining the tapestry graphghans. I especially like the marking of knowing front from back. Great idea. Thank you again and I look forward to to watching more of your videos. Also, would you be able to crochet a tapestry image on a shawl? 😀

Awesome work. Excellent teaching.

Thank you for this ,awesome lesson .new to the stitch and im having to carry lots of yarn due to the pattern ,this video explains how to carry yarn ..

Hi Mikey, would it be possible for you to do a video on tapestry from right to left only? I'm trying to learn and would love to do a project but it is row by row right to left only and have the 2 strands on each side. I love all the videos you have done and they are really helping me to learn. Trying to learn during this forced isolation :) Thank you :)

Thank you Mikey for this video, I have been doing graphs in tss I'm so going to try this method , again thank you I am learning a lot from you on your Crochet Crowd 😻😻

Hi Mikey I wish u should set up a closed caption I want to learn how to do this because I'm hearing impaired 😇

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

We are working on that. We have over 400 tutorials already done. Viewers volunteer time as it take upwards of 7 hours to closed caption 1 tutorial. If you look at our playlists, you will see we have a dedicated playlist with everything that is closed captioning. There have been over 150 volunteers so far.

[@donnacains4267]

Great video, easy to understand and demonstration was perfect. Im doing a Brisbane Broncos blanket using Maroon and Yellow with each colour going up the sides. I’m having trouble, if say I’m doing yellow and wanting to keep yellow in the next line, how to bring the black with it without it showing on the back. We didn’t address that in the video because the S was in the middle of the background colour. Would love a reply to this please.

[@jatoha]

I enjoy this technique and appreciate the tips to improve my work! Do you have any tips for keeping the balls of yarn from getting tangled? Mine always get very twisted up.

For 3 colors do you recommend making bobbins of yarn?

[@epicspacedorito4916]

I'm working on a piece that is about 5ft across and there is about 90% black and tbh I cba to make different bobbins so I just carry my black through my two bits of colour instead of making 2 bobbins. It's easier

[@dyaasaid6376]

Does the burying of the strands give it a bit of bulk in that area?

[@thalassophile1665]

I am really struggling with this, my graph indicates I need to change colours on alternate stitches 6 times in a row - is this even possible given your explanation of how the colours do not appear directly below each other?

[@azitwist5360]

I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE OMG OMG OMGGGGG

[@vanessabill8121]

hey mikey! i apreciate this video.. sigh.. i have a hard time with the whole concept but all i have to do is watch your video a few more times.. ** the purpose for the comment is i used to bead.. and a few of the things i learned was payote stitch and brick stitch beading.. you can look for either of these grapgh papers online. believe me they are closer to crochetting and knitting then regular graph.. i hope you find this useful. (you probably already knew this tho)

[@lilyroset1494]

Hey! Can I do this when crocheting a jumper vertically instead of horizontal like you are doing?

[@rosalindtanguay1438]

How do you choose what stitch to use? I made a graph, working on the graphgan but it doesn’t seem tall enough. Can you use HDC or DC? Seems like everyone uses SC for these. Also using chunky yarn (size 5).

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It’s up to you. Just play around.

[@MissChrissy0911]

Im watching your tutorial. And it is very informative. But your math is off. At 11:09 you say that 3×24 is 62 it's actually 72. Not picking on your video I promise. You have helped me a great deal.. Thank you
