organizing my yarn stash, finished crochet sweater, knit with me | productive vlog 🧶

hey girl! as far as the long tail cast on goes you can loosely wrap the yarn around the needle 10 times to know about how much yarn you need for 10 stitches. then you can take that amount of yarn and count by tens using that yarn to measure about how much youll need!

[@itserinb]

Oh dangggg okay sis with the help!! This is brilliant, I’ll try it on my next project 🥰💖

[@notapeacockfan3356]

This is so smart! I always wrapped my yarn around my needles the amount I needed, but because I was lazy and didn't pull it off periodically, the yarn would pile on top of itself and I'd get way too much, which is especially noticeable bc I'm always making shawls where I need to cast on like 300 sts. This will save so much yarn for me!

[@aQuayQuay]

Omg why did I never think to just multiply the yarn I already measured and instead counted every single wrap around (thankfully I haven't done a 300 stitch CO yet). I also want to emphasize the "loose" part because going too tight will not give you enough yarn :'( Ty for this tip!

[@devilscordiale]

i love these videos you do, relaxing vibes and yarn yarn yarn. I don't have many places here to buy or see new yarn colorways and fibres where I'm from, so just seeing your stash is so fun!!! Mowgli is the cutest little bean everrr and your new haircut is slaying girl!!!!

[@itserinb]

Ahhh thank you!! Glad you could be here with me 💖

[@rebeccainspired]

Yay, I have to knit 26 more rows on a tee before I can go to ribbing and I needed a stash organizing video to get me through!

[@itserinb]

I gotchu!! 💖

[@AnxMa]

I really needed the cool and calming vibes of your videos! After the day I had I just wanna say: to anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had androgynous look, which was a real fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)

[@cali.ana.stitchery]

I’m going to ✨try✨ to control myself a little more in the new year with my yarn purchases. I have a friend who just starting crocheting so I’m able to give my destash items to her which helps both of us! I also think the dos rd would be good for swapping/trading yarn!

[@itserinb]

Yess!! I never want to “ban” myself from buying yarn, only be more intentional and careful when I do plan to purchase. Everything in moderation 💖💖

[@chimchilla404]

I looved watching through atla for the first time a couple years ago, I can see so many pretty colorways already 💕

[@itserinb]

Advent is gonna be soooo fun, already planning 💖

[@lilycabeza]

ERIN YOUR HAIR!!!! AAAHHHH YOU LOOK AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFULLLLLL

[@getawaycrochet]

I love organizing my yarn stash. It gives me inspiration

[@itserinb]

So nice to go through and find fibers you forgot about, helps with inspiration 🥰💖

[@sistergabriellemariesmmc3420]

You should look up knooking!!! It's knitting with a crochet hook

[@Jassyt9008]

Aaahhhh after seeing the sneak peek of the colorways, I'm even more excited for the advent calendar!!

[@itserinb]

Yessss I’m so excited!! Preorders are open now 💖

[@kristalpower292]

I do long-tail cast-ons a fair bit I wrap the yarn 10 times and use that as a measure to gauge how much I need.

[@amara560]

You got so much done in this video! And the advent is so exciting😍

[@zoekoops]

First time watching your video and im obsessed! Love it! hahah! :) I also had a laugh when your dog walked in & I legit went "OH MY GOD SHE HAS A CORGIII" (I have a corgi too, so that makes me enthousiastic hahahah)

[@soul00theeundead]

You can also make long tail cast on by get both end of yarn ball/cake/skein and slip not together (doesn't count as stitch) and start casting on like normal long tail and snip the yarn that you will not be using when done. This way you get the amount of stitches you want and not too long of a tail at the end. Or the most common is to wrap yarn around needle 10-20 sts then double until you get approx plus 4in or bit extra just in case for approx stitch cast on...😊

[@thesquishstitch]

For doing a long tail cast on, work from two sides of the cake!!! There are tutorials on KZbin! I’ve done the wrapping of yarn around the needle method before but it never worked for me. Now I always cast on from both sides of the ball and it never fails!

[@itserinb]

I’ve heard of doing this but never tried it! Thank you! 💖

[@carolinesromancereads]

I've been trying to get into crochet - just opened my first woobles kit today - and I want to watch some crochet videos on KZbin for motivation! I'm not a visual learner so wish me luck haha

[@Isabel-hl1jy]

Long tail cast on tip. I use a second yarn ball as the tail instead of using just 1 ball and guessing how long tail I need.

[@marymendiola]

I first saw this from Marly Bird but the long tail cast on using 2 balls of yarn (or 1 ball only using both ends) is the best technique. You just slip knot the 2 strands on the needle and cast on as usual. Before joining in the round, remove the slip knot by letting it fall off. I hope I make sense! 😂

[@itserinb]

Oh that’s awesome advice, thank you! 💖

[@marymendiola]

Your welcome! Love your videos ❤

[@janiealmeida7179]

Love the flower sweater! 🌼 will you be making a tutorial on it

[@itserinb]

Already wrote the pattern, waiting to open up tester forms 🥰💖

[@buesmith]

Love these videos! So relaxing☺️

[@itserinb]

Hi Bue ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@sakibomb3122]

Thank you for showing where your stash is 🥰 I was wondering what size it was

[@itserinb]

Most is in the closet, and some under the bed but you get the idea 😂💖

[@ariyaram2204]

I wrap the yarn around one needle to calculate amount of yarn required to cast on. For example, to cast on 70 stitches I will wrap the yarn around my needle 70 times. This usually works for me! Hope this helps

[@itserinb]

I’ve heard of the wrapping technique but never tried it! Thank you 😂💖

[@AmbiixROX]

ATLA yarn advent??? Yes PLEASE 🙏🏻 😮 ❤

[@itserinb]

Yes ma’am! Advent is already open for preorders 🥰💖

[@themindfulcreators]

I have a great tip for knowing how much yarn you need for a long-tail cast-on. What you will do is take the amount of yarn you need for you tail, then start wrapping the yarn around 1 needle. 1 wrap counts for 1 stitch. So if you need a 300 stitches cast on, you will wrap your yarn around your needles 300 times. Then when you get to the amount of wraps you need, you will unravel them from your needle, make sure to keep the point where you finished wrapping because that is where you will start your long tail cast on. Now you will always have enough yarn for your cast on. Has never failed me since I started using it. Just make sure your tail is in the right place, its a little harder to see now that your tail is that long when you start to cast on

[@luluscreation6025]

Wat pattern did you use for the flower blossom sweater? It looks really nice :)

[@MaribelMaldonado-yy6dx]

Like I crochet a little I substitute it because I use to smoke now I crochet. 3 years no smoking I store my yarns in bins

[@itserinb]

Ayy that’s great!! Fiber arts is a great therapy 💖

[@theartofcrochetbychandra3079]

🥳🥳🥳🥳 I’m here for it

[@itserinb]

Thank youuu 🥰💖

[@cynthiatures4856]

I know it’s my OCD. But I would write every skein down on a piece paper put it in a plastic sleeve and tape it to the bin that way you know what you have in each bin.

[@zaracousins3734]

Maybe something you can do later is figure out some projects you want to do and dedicate at least 1 or 2 skeins to that project (if not made up entirely of it. So if its being kept, it kept with a project in mind?

[@SquishyTheVampire]

I prefer the crochet cast on personally

[@Colormeajungle]

Girrrrrl I have so much yarn that I had to get a storage closet and bins to put my yarn in, I basically have a whole store at this point 😂

[@itserinb]

Im not coming here to hate or anything, i love your videos and im always so so excited when you post, but when you are making vlogs in your living room there is just a static background noise that drives me absolutely nuts🥲 i dont know if its just me but i just have to turn the volume extremely low bc headache is coming

[@itserinb]

That’s so weird!! I’ve watched the video back several times during editing and I don’t hear any difference 🫠🫠

[@margarethawley3155]
