Marion Verloop Is the lady you spoke about ... right

[@padali29]

Yay a technique that embraces my natural, innate death grip!

[@eeshaw]

Marion Verloop Was the ladies name he spoke about

[@JBstr8up]

the craftsmanship is so beautiful! thanks for sharing!

[@ienehanceit]

Took me an entire day to complete this it required attention but it's worth the time and hardwork,also very well explained tutorial ❤️

[@nicolecrous3217]

I'm thrilled to have a tutorial for this style of crochet, have been wanting for a long time to learn this technique. Thank you so much., from Port Elizabeth South Africa.

[@judihartsfield8970]

Fabulous tutorial! It's great that you included fixing the errors, because we all make them and you showed how it's no big deal to correct them. Carrying yarn in crochet isn't easy at first but with a little practice can be really fun and offers so many different creative choices. For your viewers who are interested, there is a Facebook page: Mochica Bags, dedicated to this beautiful style of crochet. You always bring fresh and exciting ideas to the table. Thanks for being such an inspiring teacher!

[@karensemones9302]

Beautiful. Thanks for teaching us something new. I think it was good that you didn't edit out your mistakes since you explained what you did wrong. That helps us recognize if we make the same mistake.

[@ladyd54]

This reminds me of Scandinavian Color Work. I think that if your interested in learning this technique, choose a larger item to begin with so you can get the tension correct. Great job Mikey!!

[@sarahlowes1501]

I was thinking of Fair Isle Knitting/Intarisa work when I first saw this.

[@ccsbeadworks]

So excited to see this! 🤗 I have been making mochila's for years and would love to see more people get into making them. So fun!

[@kimscales5150]

i am learning how to do the mochila bags but i don't understand on the graph like patterns like on easy bead .com they mark where the increases go and i don't know if they mean just one or two increases in that section, can you give me your email so i can show you what i mean, i have no help in my area for learning this and you tube is not really helping me much

[@lesleyoliver5582]

Interesting - got to give this a go...... thanks from Australia 🐨🐨🇦🇺

[@Tsiri09]

I'm a very tight crocheter to begin with, so this might not be too far out for me. I can think of all sorts of things to make. Thank you for this video.

[@brendabucklew8847]

This fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time! Can't wait to try it. 😊

[@craftychrystal7913]

I don't see well enough to work with really small hooks anymore, but I used some regular worsted 3 years ago to make 2 cat beds. I used a non stretch cord for the filler and topped each row with crab stitch. This made it stand up and not loose it's shape. I went one step further and made a bag with a 2 color design , also out of worsted but with the smallest hook I could work with (F)and pulled each stitch tight (no crab stitch between). The carrier cord and the other color yarn stayed out of sight, and that bag has gone through hell and back and hasn't stretched, sagged or threatened to loose it's shape in the 2 years I have been abusing...erm I mean using it. Now I am inspired to try a 4 color pattern! I may still have to add a non stretch cord to the mix, but there are really thin blind cords that will work. Thank you for the hints, tips and referral to Marion. Love you!

[@Lawlichi]

This is so gorgeous, I’m so excited to give it a shot! Honestly seems like the perfect technique for me. Im used to small hooks and tight tension. Plus I tend to get bored just going around and around when I’m usually making bags lol

[@marshagonzales9510]

Interesting technique. Reminds me of thread crochet. I enjoy working thread crochet projects with very small hooks. Thank you.

[@pamelaandrade6930]

GREAT IDEA FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

[@mallfitkingdom441]

you have golden fingers .thanks for you

[@kathyr1980]

Thank you Mikey. I live in Panama but haven't learned this technique yet. I will share with the Boquete Knitters and Crocheters!

[@ABJILL033]

It looks very similar to tight amigurumi, I crochet dolls that stand up due to the tightness. I also crochet birds carrying the yarn & I am going try the back loop method because sometimes the colours show through. Thanks for a great tutorial. I would recommend that you have the background colour running up each side of the pattern to help hide the jogs.

[@StillSwirling]

This looks frustrating and fun at the same time lol. Thank you for taking the time to show us this! I definitely need to go on one of your cruises someday. They look like great fun!

[@lorrainelawrence7035]

I absolutely love all your videos and this one is super!!

[@peach3611]

Awesome.

[@hawklon]

Awesome, can’t wait to try it

[@sandrahilliard7475]

Wow these are terrific. Thank you.

[@Uniquestitchdesigns]

Waaaaw this is really cool I am going to make this loooove it:)

[@ruthmaxwell60]

BEAUTIFUL! Good video, thank you - it’s the ‘way you’ tell it 😉. 🐢

[@mollychaucer7805]

Wow! This is intense.

[@carlabattikha8750]

Love this project.

[@azaleaacres]

Beautiful. I’ll have to give it a try 👍🏼

[@jenniferboroniec-discoe3697]

Thank you thank you. Love following you and this is perfect.

[@resamiller66]

Love it!

[@PamelasAdoringCrochet]

This is really cool!

[@fans1949]

Thanks I love your tutorial this project looks exciting

[@sabrinaaguilera7657]

this is beautiful.

[@rabaaalsayed4278]

Amazing xxx thanks

[@AngelsKiss68]

Thank you. Could you please do a water bottle bag with strap in this ? Thank you.

[@jamieshelton2892]

This is making my hands ache, just watching it! It is beautiful though.

[@chocomallows2559]

That hook reminds me of why I never learned to crochet as a child

[@hgf413]

I've found that when I carry multiple strands, pulling each one separately helps keep them from showing through. As lovely as this is I think I'll skip this, I'd end up trying my fingers into knots!

[@maggirambus7086]

This is beautiful, but I will need practice .

[@Booksy0420]

Marion also has a Facebook group so if you have questions you can get direct answers as well

[@JT-ic6rx]

Will you be releasing a pattern for that bowl?

[@nicolecrous3217]

Mikey, can we use other yarn or is it best to use only cotton blend yarn?

[@louisealvey7246]

Looks wonderful but with a 10 month old running around this isn't something I could. It is beautiful

[@yolandarivera4349]

Could you give another option of yarn is it a 4 ply o 3 ply

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

This is wayuu crochet. It’s usually done with thin yarn like this. I don’t know of #3 or #4 weights that resemble the properties that this concept needs.

[@yolandarivera4349]

Any other Brandon or what kínder of mercerices corto. I can a use?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm not sure. You are looking for the thin mercerized cotton or hemp for this concept. There was Hempster but it was discontinued. If you look up Marion Verloop, she's from Europe and has brands she recommends for this concept just in case North American brands are out of reach for you.

[@kimberlyscrochet]

is there such a thing as crocheting to tight. I feel like I may have crochet to tight.

[@mariedalton8474]

Love this type. However, this is not a wayuu bag. It's Mochilla. Wayuu doesn't use cotton thread. Mochilla does however.

[@deeraines9416]

Is Beadtool4 an Apple app?

[@sharonrobson7414]

Beautiful but arthritic hands and small hooks do not play well together.

[@brendacraig9043]

It's a beautiful pattern but it's not going to happen with my hands 🤨

[@skynnies9501]

GM it look like a Native American designs...

[@clubdetejido]

This is no wayuu, this is tapestry. Wayuu is only for original culture from Colombia. This is Cultural Apropiation.
