I made my sisters try CROCHET!

[@pinkkangaroo84]

Watching your first sister struggle while doing slip stitches instead of single crochet... I wanted to jump in and help her out, she was trying so hard!

[@PataPtichou]

Saaaaameeee

[@KayleighsCraftyCorner]

I came here to say this too ❤️

[@1717Pauline]

I was constantly telling her in the video. You're doing a slip stitch. It would be easier the other way turn it, don't do one more loop. Okay, dude, no, don't do that yep, yep, okay.

[@heatherghimire7744]

SAMMME I WAS SCREAMIMG YOUR DOING IT WRONG LOL

[@SkeinSpider]

I know!!! I didn't pick that up until I was editing but at least it's a problem with an easy fix, so if there's a next time, she might not have as much trouble.

[@lauralaines3546]

I laughed so hard watching her pull the sting making the knot tight while trying to pull the hook through 😂 great video

[@amandaleigh2892]

Lol yeah the slip knot was the wrong way. Also that instructor video was horrible I was trying to correct her and give all the extra information that would have helped her!!!

[@SkeinSpider]

Same. Let me tell you, editing this took so much longer than normal because I kept stopping to laugh 😂.

[@YvonneWilson312]

Twisty twisty twisty Pully pully pully What is wrong With my wooly wooly wooly? 🤣🤣🤣🤣OMG this was so much fun!

[@SkeinSpider]

I think I need to put that on a T-shirt lol.

[@makeitwithalex4483]

I want it made into a song!

[@cjkagdis]

That was great! She should do a poetical version of the narration for one of the videos - or at least little poetry inserts here and there.

[@lexiharding5498]

I feel really bad for you sisters! Bless them they really tried. Maybe giving them a couple of different tutorial people would help? Often people find they click with different types of instructions, it may just be that the particular video they were watching wasn't in their learning style. They still tried really hard tho which was really sweet

[@Falcon2Dragon]

Koodos to your sister for being great sport and helping you.

[@caitlinoneal4302]

You're sisters are amazing sports! It was so painful, yet hilarious, to watch. I wanted to help so badly. Awesome video as always and praying for your health.

[@reneehebert6986]

I personally found your sisters hilarious and delightful.

[@bumbleb4090]

Based on how they were doing it, the tutorial they were using might have been the most complicated explanation of a slip knot I’ve ever seen

[@herdogcyn156]

GMO- You have made watching crocheting so much fun. I felt bad for laughing my head off (sorry sisters) but the laugh was much needed. I have tried to teach others and nope I couldn't do it because I wanted so bad to laugh - not away to keep someone trying. Your first sister was making slipknots and there was no way she could get the hook in but she did. I'm so impressed your sisters put themselves out there and did this for you. You are much loved, and we are blessed to see it.

[@SkeinSpider]

I'm glad you got a good laugh out if it (I certainly did lol) and they definitely won't mind.

[@erinpriest9491]

OMG its Skein Sisters!!

[@OttoofTO]

I have NEVER seen crochet put a beginner in such a chokehold 😂 that was hilarious and stressful, but I’m glad she was willing to keep trying

[@ASquareGranny]

“Editing Leigh” was on point!!! Your subtitles had me snorting w/mirth (*rooster noise* … ‘drunk ghost sound’ HAAAHAAAA😂). Your sisters were champs though and honestly? It’s kinda cool to be reminded of how freakin HARD it is to learn a new skill! I’ve always been an athlete (BASKETBALL FTW!) and a gamer so hand eye coordination has been easy and natural; crochet learning as a over-middle-aged learner completely neutralized the court, you know? We ALL start at the exact same spot. That stinkin slip knot and chain. I STILL dread chaining & would rather work w/a MR/MC than any chain, lol. Enough of my pontificating. WELL DONE, y’all! Super fun video! Cheers! ☺️🫶🏻🧶🧡

[@SkeinSpider]

Thanks, this was honestly a lot of fun to edit. Trying to subtitle the noises themselves was a riot 😂. And you're 100% right, we all have to start somewhere 💙

[@tiannagraham5210]

i hate working into chains so wherever possible, i do a chainless foundation and when i tell you i’m obsessed???? it makes the chain and first row in one go. the only issue i’ve seen is if you’re doing tapestry crochet with a chart, you may have to start on the opposite side to be lined up properly with the chart

[@CarriesCrochet]

I love the creativity for your content when you are medically down. I have two medical disorders that often keep me from being able to crochet and it's nice to see someone else struggle but continue on as well . 🎉

[@mishellegarrett9243]

Well done sisters! If not for anything else but that you helped your sister with a video. A pleasure to meet you all!

[@SkeinSpider]

Yeah, tbh that was their main reason for doing it and I appreciate them helping me out so much.

[@KnottedNat]

This is so funny, props to your sisters for giving it a go, if someone filmed me the first time I tried to crochet there would have been a lot more swearing 😂

[@SkeinSpider]

Don't worry, there was plenty of that lol. I edited it out because the alternative was to just have a steady stream of 'beeps' 😂

[@Viney_maple]

Them: you should try crochet, it’s so relaxing!! Jane: herrrgggehhhhhg >:(

[@blackcat9703]

Good on your sisters for not only trying but doing it publicly on youtube! They did so well, even if they made mistakes 👏👏👏👏👏

[@SkeinSpider]

100%! I appreciate their bravery 😂

[@victorlangston7150]

I found them wonderful to watch proving to everyone you gotta start somewhere, no worries

[@amy5424]

This was a struggle to no yell out directions. I teach crochet and a lot of it is just trouble shooting the problems the sisters are having. I felt so bad for sister 3, I hope she keeps making chains she had so much fun once she got past the slip knot.

[@amandaleigh2892]

Right the instructions on the video weren't good at all

[@Sharkeyscrochetcarnival]

Your sisters went on a *journey* and it was amazing. I loved this video.

[@lisagauci3354]

I would love to see apart 2 😅

[@openorwap5412]

They did an amazing job! It wasn't too long ago that I was dealing with the same frustrations. Particularly not knowing where the last stitch was, so I kept going! I've kept all of my first attempt swatches to remind myself how much I've learned, thanks to KZbin tutorials like yours 🥰 Great job, ladies! 🧶

[@AprilStanek-h7l]

Awesome video! Your sisters are the best! It was obvious they really tried hard. I'd watch them again, any time!

[@pauladavitt7554]

I was laughing so hard that I dropped stitches off my needles while watching this 😂

[@poppy2122]

Loved the video!! Thank you

[@fikanera838]

What a riot! Dying to see the next project. Maybe a race to see who can create the longest worm in a set time? Best wishes from Czechia!

[@masonelijahchapman8223]

I feel so bad watching your first sister struggle and complain about how hard it is because she is slip stitching the whole thing 😢

[@masonelijahchapman8223]

To be fair, a 10x10 square of slip stitches would be really hard, especially with beginners tension

[@PataPtichou]

​​@@masonelijahchapman8223 I've seen someone on a comment section once say "ooooh I just realized that I crochet since 10 years and I make slip stitches instead of single crochet!! That explains why my blanket took me more than 2 years to achieve!" 😅😅😅😅 And they came back few months after to say that this knew knowledge changed their life, if you can believe it! 10 years of slip stiches seems worse than hell 😅

[@tiannagraham5210]

@@PataPtichou10 years of slip stitches instead of single crochet? 😭 the dedication that person must have lmaooo that’s rough!

[@malindaph]

This reminds me of when I learned to crochet when i was 14 😂 the insane amount of frustration i felt.. lmao but it’s worth it! Just gotta keep at it

[@littleninja0]

That was so good! Your sisters seemed like they were being good sports about the whole thing (they did pretty well too in fairness)

[@SkeinSpider]

They were definitely good sports and they went into it fully knowing what kind of video it was going to be.

[@janetcoakleyj2861]

In the beginning, it is a struggle, but once it clicks, it’s very enjoyable stick with it. 😊

[@tiannagraham5210]

oh yeah once it clicks, it’s off to the races

[@RoaringRagefjb]

Your first sister was hilarious 😂😂😂 but great job🎉🎉😮

[@tiannagraham5210]

nahhh sister 3’s experience is exactly what almost made me quit when i first started learning 😭 i had that cheapo acrylic yarn that didn’t feel good (this yarn looks so much better than what i was using) and i couldn’t NOT figure out tension. i almost cried from frustration 😭

[@Steph_1993]

I love J's sound effects and calling it a crocheting stick. Caitlin (Caitlyn) not sure on spelling) "twisty twisty twisty, pully pully pully, whats wrong with my wooly wooly wooly" is now my new catch phrase when ever my yarn sucks

[@chantaleperron]

NB: I forgot to ask: do you have brothers?😃

[@SkeinSpider]

Nah, just sisters.

[@Draca151]

We definitely need a follow up 😃

[@marcellek]

I loved this. I have been crocheting for years, but I feel your sisters' pain. Honestly there are a lot of beginner videos out there are not very good and I wonder how anybody learns with them. Great editing Leigh, this made for quite the entertaining video. Please do it again!

[@beckyp9700]

This was AWESOME!!! Loved meeting two of your sisters. They are fun! I feel their pain. It took me over 15 years to learn to crochet. The struggle is real. I have successfully been crocheting for about 8 years now. I still make very simple things. But they are sturdy and hold up to anything you want to put them through. To me, that is the best feeling. What I make is to be used, not on display in a frame on the wall. To each their own. I think your sisters did great! It is a place to start. Thank you for sharing.

[@OwliSketches]

Haaa! Love it! Your sisters are so real for this!

[@04mccask-kt7vz]

This really reminded me so much of when I first started crochet about 3 years ago and i really admire your sisters for doing this on camera. I was cheering you both on the entire time. I can’t tell you how many pieces I’ve started and have gone into the scrap pile for stuffing (or initially bin as I didn’t know better at the time) . Either by the wrong type of stitch, wrong number of stitches that can’t be fixed easily or I’ve stitched too tightly or too loosely… yeah it is definitely a learning curve 😂. Still absolutely love it now and I feel weird when I don’t crochet daily - I love to make amigurumi and flowers with crochet 💕.

[@feathersflight]

I literally bounced with happiness when sister 3 got her first successful chain stitch! And I really felt all of both of your troubles, because I have struggled the exact same ways. I'm still bad at crocheting flat stuff!

[@SarahRowland-wh7it]

❤ this video. They did EXCELLENT. 🎉 That’s how it was supposed to go with out practice. Next time - One step at a time. Slowly. Set the video they watch at a slower speed. Each step, a separate video to watch on a loop, until they get it. Like Slip knot, ch of 11, turning ch, 10 sc, turning ch, next row etc. with an explanation of why they are doing it, and a picture of final piece. Maybe with a list of crochet terms. Maybe have them watch the videos before hand, might help too. 😊 That is if you want them to ever try this again. 😂 Rest up, don’t pick up your hook, and take care of you. ❤ you will be back at it in no time.

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers 💙. That's kind of what we were going for. Throw them in the deep end this time so it leaves the door open for more in depth tutorials later on....if they're interested in doing it again that is lol.

[@UFOCrochet]

❤❤ Super fun video. A follow up video we're you coach then would be cute. But you can't touch anything to help. Then the scarf idea. Very cute.

[@melindabailey5939]

Your sisters are pretty and I like this video

[@gabraelcreations]

😂 This was something i needed. Thank you and to your sisters!!!!! ❤ I was completely glued to the screen that forgot what i was doing myself. So much wanted to help them...... Do we want part 2,3,4,5,6? Please do!!!!!! ❤❤❤ I was laughing so hard from all the noises and comments and sighs....... new skill is never easy but hilarious!!!!! 😅 Well done ALL OF YOU!!! ❤

Your sisters are awesome people for trying. Hope the other sister can heal quickly and join in on the fun. 🎉❤

Loved it❤ Props to your sisters. Hard for beginners and then add a camera... what good sports.❤ 2nd sister made me laugh so hard. Love her creativity and humor that came thru even if frustrated. 😂❤

[@SkeinSpider]

Absolutely, they are champs for helping me out with this one 💙

[@Black_Unicorns]

I think that is the most painful thing I watched in a long time xD I want to help them sooo bad..... xD

[@kaytiej8311]

Ha! The irony of Well-tempered Clavichord playing while there's a string of expletives and frustrated noises! 😂

[@EchoCian]

Glad I knew about tension problems before I started learning, apparently saved me a lot of trouble. My first couple attempts were still a bit too tight despite my deliberate efforts to keep the stitches loose, but they weren't that bad. But that also gives me a lot of questions about that video not mentioning the single most frequent mistake I know about from watching other videos, as well as advice my mom gave to relatives trying to learn it.

[@Teerae11]

Yes yes and yes wud love to see another video of this !! That was so fun !! Your Sisters were good sports about it !! I bet they appreciate your Craft Now lol , wait till the Math gets involved they will be more appreciated of your yarn works !! This was really fun to see !!! Thank You all !!

[@louiselegacy9985]

Your first sister was doing slip stitches instead of single crochets and that's why she was having so much trouble. I hope you told her later. LOL

[@SkeinSpider]

Lol, yeah. I didn't notice that until I was editing 😂

[@wallysworld3435]

Awe, what fun sisters!

[@Shridra]

"happy seal noises" just SENT me lol. My very first time doing crochet I made a scarf. It looked absolutely horrible, all wibbly wobbly, but I was SO DARN PROUD of myself for it that I wore it everywhere that winter lol. Now I'm making a lion hood for my youngest for Halloween. This video actually got me wondering how hard it would be to teach some of the homeschoolers in our homeschool group how to crochet hahaha

[@MochaCrochetsandCrafts]

This. Was. Hysterical! First off, your sisters are such good sports for participating! Second, watching the two in the video try and crochet reminded me of how I get when I’m trying to learn a new stitch or technique. Frustrating! Throwing hooks! Cussing. lol You definitely should do another video so your other sister can participate!

[@cocoscrochet6380]

An idea for next time… sit with them and help when they need it. I want to see them succeed.

[@gamer_rru]

OMGSH! I'm laughing so hard right now!

[@OcenaStrex]

The third sister would probably have way less problems if she did the slip knot the other way around, so that the working yarn closes it rather than the tail. I always do it that way and it gives me much less of a headache.

[@dr.galitzer6188]

Consider getting a few guest crocheters (those who crochet a lot) to do a pattern you create on the channel! Does it turn out like you expected?

[@sandratester7077]

how fun as that...

[@Threedames82]

😂😂😂💚💚💚

[@MarvelousMooalicious]

Is it just me or was the tutorial for the slip knot for sister 2 wrong? The working yarn should tighten the slip knot not the tail, then when she holds the tail it won't tighten the loop and stop her from being able to form a chain. They both did so well and were great sports. Look forward to seeing a part 2 soon 😂❤

[@ahilanna5035]

[@noizeemama3697]

Sister #3 is my favorite. We all know what she was doing wrong. If you had been in there you could have corrected her.

[@ericathefae]

This was painful to watch, but entertaining XD

[@casa5080]

My first "swatches" always ended up curving? Half of my supposedly flat swatches ended up being close to a sphere. Not..... not sure how, but that's what happened.

[@soniaansford82]

Oh that was funny

[@violetwheatley2381]

The first sister would have done better watching a different tutorial that was slower. The second sister just needed to stop grabbing the tail to the Slipknot and also watching a tutorial that is slower. When I first started I did a lot of pausing and playing to understand the tutorial.

[@PataPtichou]

@@violetwheatley2381 yes, and you need to watch many tutorials until finally of them makes sense!

[@cherachapin3826]

Has your first sister spent time in the USA? Because I swear every time she said, "This shit is hard!" She definately sounded like she was from the Midwestern USA 😅 her "yuop" was also extremely close to our "ope" Your 3rd sister sounded exactly like me when I started. I was taught by an actual teacher, but after my first ever project was done, she sent me out into the world thinking I was going to do amazing things 😂 I was so frustrated because I could not get the START of the project going. Once it was started I did fine, but that first slip knot or magic circle always drove me crazy 😂

Can sister number 3 be ADHD maybe?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
