You'll Never Go Back to the Old Way After You See This! 🧶🤩

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi Friends! Have you seen this method before? I've fallen in love with it! Not only is it great for color changes, it would work great when you run out of yarn and want to attach another ball. Let me know what you think. xx

[@charlotteetienne1371]

Yes I’ve seen it before but you explain it better 👍🌺

[@dinahbarnes6335]

This is the first time I've seen it and you're an excellent teacher! Thank-you for showing me how to make my work look better! 💚💜🧡💛💙💖

[@delladearest2511]

Genius ❣️👏👏👏 now if only didn’t have to weave in ends !

[@thiscraftyangie]

I haven’t see it but I’m gonn used it, I’m a sorta new crocheter and I learn so much new techniques thanks ❤

[@rebeccahogenkamp9061]

Wow. 60 years at this and I still learn new things. I love this option.

[@PlantPerson58]

Me too. Amazing, isn’t it? I love learning new ways to do things.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Me too!! 😀💕

[@trd830]

Me too! I always struggle with changing yarn but this sure will make it easier

[@matildafishes9931]

Me too! Thank you from Texas!!

[@Kbuzmin99]

Same here. 😱

[@CraftHarlot]

Smart! The color change is essentially the same, but without the weird fiddliness of changing halfway through a stitch! So smart!💙

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Exactly 😀🙌🏻🧶💕

[@thursaziegler2351]

I hear ya

[@sallybrown9194]

WHY did I never think of this?

[@JazzyJude]

BRILLIANT! How I love it’s smooth transition and clean look with little effort. I’ll NEVER go back to the other way now. THANK YOU for sharing this worthy tip.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Some have commented that is more fiddly but I’m just not finding it to be. I’ve done the other way for years and this definitely feels better. 😆💕

[@Southernmaidbrat]

Life will never be the same!!! Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s how I felt too 😂😂💕

[@brendanelson9635]

Love this and will try it soon. Thank you!

[@michelea9142]

Awesome! After 60 years I finally have a better method of changing colors! Thank you so much!

[@1lmp1]

This is exactly the same thing. 😂. After crocheting since age 4.5 y/o, I do not see or feel any difference. To me this way takes more time, but after crocheting 65 years, I guess I am just too comfortable with the "old" way. 😊

[@kayejc]

Always "a first". I've been crocheting for about 50 years and battling the "color change." Thank you.😊😊😊

[@brenda3650]

Me too

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

This blows my senior mind, as everything is more challenging for me now. YOU HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!! I love you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much 😀💕

[@barbsdee3831]

That’s amazing! 😱 I was holding my breath as you pulled the loop from the old colour, I thought it was going to unravel. Thank you for educating us ❤🇬🇧

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I felt that fear the first time I saw it too 😂❤️

[@yvonnesaladino110]

Lol ~ you guys make me laugh! Just glad I’m not the only one who had that feeling. I’m coming back to crochet after setting it down about 20 yrs ago. I thought it’d be like riding a bike… not so much! & at 61 the brain not as quick as it used to be. Anyway ~ THANKS for sharing this wonderful technique, and thanks to everyone else for their cute comments 🙂

[@susieq7621]

Me too😬

[@tickledpink9052]

Hahahahaha!! Me too 😂

I don’t know ! 🤣 it’s magic , though ,and seems like it should be more well known , right? Thanks, Jennie! 🧶💕💕

[@jennierollins8789]

Yes indeed. I love it when you give us these great tips. I am so astonished at what you know and how you teach. 🌷🌷♥️

[@P.A.S.77]

Thanks for Tiktok crocheters😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@P.A.S.77 I saw it on Instagram so I say thank you to Insta crocheters! 👏🏻💕

[@myhoneyscrafts127]

I am new to crocheting and appreciate any tips. New subscriber!!!

[@Denise11Schultz]

Wow, this feels really good. I especially like that the weave-ins don’t start from exactly the same point. It wasn’t just the bump from the same point that bothered me. The overall stretch and flexibility was not the same as the whole rest of the fabric. Having the weave-ins start from two points eliminates that reduced stretch. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Fantastic observation and point! 🙌🏻💕

[@Marciaz]

I don't understand what u mean. How do u weave in the ends? Do u use a hook or needle. The ends look so short?

[@suebailey4263]

The 'new' way is exactly the same as leaving the 2 loops on the hook and adding in the new thread. and finishing the stitch. I've been doing this for over 53 years.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes , that’s not where it’s different. This helps to maintain tension which is helpful especially for beginners. I’ve been using the other method happily for 30+ years but enjoy this alternative very much.

[@Alice-k4l]

Not the same whatsoever. You Did not mention pulling on the original thread out of existence allowing the new thread/yarn to latch on. I also use to do it your way. So, no.

[@BacktheBlue60]

Oh my stars and garters. I didn't think there was anything left to learn about crochet at my age. I love this!!❤

[@JD-ht4wn]

First time seeing this and I have avoided color changing..until now. Holy Cow, you’ve changed the game!!!

[@n3mutta]

This is revolutionary and I know I’m sold. I also know straight away it’s a better method than the ones I currently use. Thank you so much.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! 💕👏🏻

[@pjsebby3194]

As always, thank you for teaching us, your subscribers, a new technique of changing color. This is definitely a “game changer.” Be well and be safe❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thanks so much, have a great week 💕

[@maryt2887]

This method definitely gives a smoother change. Wonderful!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Glad you think so! 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@paulaskuse559]

Omg that looks so a lot less fiddly. Definitely will be giving this a try. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@melissaannboone3639]

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense! I have always stayed away from color change mid row, fear of failure. I'm going to try it now!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

You’re definitely going to love it then 👍🏻💕

[@bridgetn2575]

Same here! I’m paranoid about the project falling apart if everything isn’t super secure. I wonder how these color change areas hold up in the wash. 🤔

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@bridgetn2575 based on the way the yarn is pulled through the two bands , seems like it would be awfully difficult for the yarn to pull out once it’s weaved in. I think we are on to a winner here 💕👍🏻

[@barbaracabrera207]

No, I haven't seen this before. But, I'm going to try it. It looks BETTER. I'm crocheting an afghan right now, so I have to join new skeins a lot. I notice the 2 ends being loose, make a messy stitch. Especially with soft yarn. So doing this way gives more structure to the stitch you're making during yarn change. I'm excited to try this. I've been "binging" your videos all morning!!! Great channel. TFS! I will report back after I try it. Austin TX USA

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes, that’s it! It at least eliminates one of those straggly ends. Well put 🙌🏻 Thanks so much for watching 👏🏻💕💕

[@karenpassolano310]

Absolutely love this! I avoid multi colored patterns to avoid the headaches of color changes. Not anymore!

[@krystenemanthey5812]

I have learnt a easier and tail free change of colour or same colour join. The only thing is that you have to work out how much yarn you would need to get to the colour change or same colour join. I found it on Tik Tok. If you would like to see if it works please let me know and I will send the link. I've found it to be amazing.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Always interested and I’m sure others would love to see it too. Please share in the comments when you have time 😀👏🏻💕

i really like it, the color change technique you use to makes it more secure looking, I will try this very soon. Thank you for sharing this technique

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think you’re right, it’s a more secure join. I often pull too tightly and lose that top stitch when I’m changing colors with the original way. And although it doesn’t really come across on camera, I find it’s less fiddly to do 👍🏻💕
