As a camera dodger myself, I really appreciate that all though you were filming in public, you blurred out the people on the subway to protect their privacy. Love a respectful queen!

[@carmenhastings9875]

🎉I am so happy I found you and after hearing about your struggles…then seeing you meet Jingle & how he responded to you I knew I had to leave you a comment. We just lost our almost 9 yr old boy, Dodge, to kidney disease and he was my emotional support animal and Jingle was responding to you & trying to let you know that you are not ever alone. May God Bless you 🎉Many Blessings ❤

I mean I’m 13 and I know how to crochet it was rough learning how to all by myself but I got the hang of it and now I can crochet almost anything! I am really surprised you chose such little tiny yarn to make a blanket I mean, it will really take a long time. I mean, you can really tell how much time you’ve spent on it from how little the yarn is and everything it’s wonderful. Great job I could never keep up as a beginner, keep up the videos I love your content 💕

[@rachelinabook]

this looks so good especially as a beginner!! 🫶🏻 i think the main issue that you’re having regarding having to use your fingers to complete the stitch is that your hook is facing upwards. you have the right technique to pull through the stitch with just the hook when you first go into the stitch and grab the yarn and pull through to have three loops on your hook for your half double crochet (if that makes sense?😅). when you complete your stitch to make your half double crochet, after you yarn over, twist your hook so that it is facing downwards instead of up and make sure that your working yarn is on your hook. you almost have it towards the end, you just need to twist your hook a little more so that you actually grab onto your working yarn! 🧶 i hope that helped a little. i was trying to explain it as best i could without video 😅 your blanket looks amazing so far though!!

[@CLARICEWONGG]

Thank you so much for the in depth explanation :) I'll be sure to give it a try :)

[@iluvcookies6380]

I’m a beginner too n one of the first things u have to learn is how to hold the yarn with one hand n the hook with the other. Makes crocheting easier n faster

[@jacobajade4651]

heyyy I know you've got quite a few reactions already but what really helped me to get a hang of my hook is by just making a lot of chains, and eventually you will be able to only use your hook and not need your hands to pull it through! Practice makes perfect but you are doing great!

[@Kattakattak]

Great work! The color choices look so nice together. To prevent having to use your fingers when pulling through the loops, try turning your hook so that the "nose" is facing down toward your work and not up! It will help prevent your yarn from slipping off/needing to hold it with your fingers. :)

[@EvieHeffner]

This and also it may just be the angle but the hook tip looks too circular for my preference. Maybe try a different hook/hook brand as well?

[@johnmenardflorida]

you could use a ring as a tension so it's much more easier for hooking the yarn and faster too just need a lot of practice😁

[@stephaniecranham402]

This brings me back to when I started. It took me a while to find the right tutorial that I could learn from but eventually it just clicked. It will all come together, keep at it.

[@joaniejohnson3346]

I self taught myself watching a lot of beginner crochet videos. I started with Christmas tree snowflake ornaments for a few months & then watched blanket crochet tutorials. I crochet with right hand in a knife hold. Some people use a pencil type grip. I molded my hands like the tutorial persons hands until I found my style. Good luck.

[@edenhoefer]

hey! the blanket looks so cool i love the colours so much!! just 2 little tips: 1) to help with the question you asked about using your fingers to yarn over- i’d suggest watching some youtube videos on how to improve your tension, those helped me so much with stopping to use my fingers to yarn over 2) when crocheting the first chain at the very beginning, i saw that it’s very tight- i would suggest making the chains at the beginning a bit more loose cause then as you go along with your project you won’t have the amount of pulling in your work! hope that helps at all! 💞

[@Flow.3rw4rr]

I started crocheting in 2022 or 2023 and I watched alot of tutorials featuring lilthings and mahum they helped me so much so i definitely recommend their tutorials as they explain in such depth it so helpful

[@Re-yh6kr]

It’s so cute how everyone in the comments is giving tips on crocheting and holding the hook 🩷

[@gracelynmoses7122]

The blanket looks really good! U did a great job as a beginner. 29:21 u did not do anything wrong it's just beginners tend to not have proper tension so what I would tell u is instead of bringing the yarn from ur hook to do the yarn over and then u go through the loop,make ur hook go through your yarn by holding it in your pointer finger.

[@rh_jxl]

I love the Singaporean accent. I am also a crocheter + a Singaporean. Yarn would probably be heaven as I am a crocheter, and I also love yarn.

[@gmaelder4739]

I just finished four hrs of fighting with a project that would have been so much easier had I chosen different yarn. I finally decided I have to go to bed. I started your video as I was transitioning to go to bed. I could instantly feel your pain. Glad Day 2 went better than your first night. You picked out some beautiful colors. I can’t stay up to see the final product but good luck!

[@tarynelliott9046]

You’re so cute. Stretch your fingers and hands when you’re doing a blanket. Lol. Tough on the hands. Love seeing how happy you’ve become as it’s come together. And the dog is darling.

[@shiro8306]

I am not an expert myself, but i think that if you learn to hold the hook like a pencil, you will be able to crochet faster. I used to hold the hook like you and my grandma saw me and told me i would be able to crochet faster if i held it like a pencil. It worked for me personally. The knife way also makes you do bigger movements and the hand can get tired more easily. I could be wrong though. I really love how the blanket is coming out by the way!

[@Noah_Maer]

Besides the tip about rotating ur hook so it points downwards when pulling through the loops (like other ppl already mentioned), I'd also look into ways of how to hold your working yarn. I personally could not crochet with not holding the working yarn with my left hand (I have it go between my pinky and ring finger from the back, then wrap it around my index finger twice, but there are many ways to do it), because doing that makes the yarn have some tension and so it wont slip off your hook easily or go wherever 😅 I feel like I have more control like this.

[@xkimmixstarrrx]

As a beginner myself, my advice for you is when watching a KZbin video tutorial ... remember to slow the speed of the video to 0.75 or slower as it makes it so much easier to learn ❤❤

[@heatheralisa8658]

I just started crocheting in March and it has been a great summer hobby. I didn't think I would be able to learn it but I used a crochet kit called "The Woobles" I highly recommend as they properly teach every stitch and the correct way to crochet which will make the process so much easier! If you aren't able to get the kit they also have a pretty helpful youtube channel! Good luck :)

[@Nadiaxx7x]

This is so cool !! Well doneeee ❤❤

[@TheMeNathalie]

Just make a border around the blanket in the end then you will hide all the loose ends 👍🙂🥰🍀🍀

[@nelliehugh]

I just found your channel, I’m knitting a vest at the moment. It’s nice to watch someone else working on their yarn process. Really enjoyed your video. Sorry to hear you’re feeling down. Could you get your own dog? Dogs are the best companions ❤

[@carmenhastings9875]

It looks great…i also think…at the point where you are talking about using your fingers…if you can figure out a comfortable way to wrap your working yarn over your left pinky and index finger, I think that would help ❤

[@lovecraftbyreen]

Hello, I learn how to crochet almost 3 years now, I’m not a pro still continue learning. I just started my own KZbin channel last few months and Yes… I love Crochet ❤️ and love to go to Spotlight at Plaza Sing as well. So happy to found your video and I subscribe to your channel. Happy Crochet 😊

[@LoretteMalcouzane]

By watching you I remember my first time 😅

[@melissatitus2271]

You’re doing a great job, the blanket looks like it’ll be beautiful. My question is how are you tensioning the yarn? I’m right-handed and use my left to hold the project and tension the yarn with my fingers.

[@CaliButler]

Hi new friend. Messaging from Houston Texas. Loving your videos. Kisses Cali❤

[@owllover813]

Love your channel❤❤❤

[@des9299]

I miss singapore so much, this brings back homesickness

[@zhuang308]

you are very cute, and the blanket is nice too

[@TheMeNathalie]

Also try to loosen up your tension a little bit more so your blanket dosnt crumble together instead of being straight. Your doing very good ❤

[@__yussra]

This is such a calming vlog 💗 I definitely need me more of these

[@beverlyb5144]

I am enjoying your video. Your blanket is going to be BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@DesireeVillaraza]

You did such a great job! As a beginner learning crochet as well, would you be able to share the blanket pattern you used?

[@evannnn688]

‏‪9:24‬‏ I thought I was the only one excited about crochet ❤

[@TheMeNathalie]

It looks like you chose to do this blanket with the most difficult yarn as its hard to find the stitches with this. I hope you still have fun making it. 🎉

[@mushroomguardian]

Ah this made me miss my early crochet days, staying up until 2 or 3 am just to crochet 😭🩷 you’re doing great!! Also, what camera do you use if you don’t mind me asking? 🥰

[@elleinn]

You should look up videos on how to hold onto the yarn for crochet. Hold onto the project and yarn with your left hand. The right hand holds just the hook. This will give the tension you need between yarn and hook as you pull away.

[@iatbnou7400]

I was thinking the same the whole time cause it was stressful seeing the way she struggled holding the yarn

[@Muunbeau]

I don’t believe it is a pattern, I think she mostly likely bought it from somewhere. Hope that helps 😊

Then change to the 6mm for the rest of the blanket

Oh my God, you are so beautiful. I just discovered you and subscribed, you are wonderful.❤

[@x_coralbobux5260]

You should try going to memo arthouse for yarn ! They have a good variety of yarn and most of them are pretty affordable:)

[@nursya3604]

omggg ure from sg. u should go to memo art house for cheaper yarn options

[@davidsweezey9016]

This is literally me if I was a KZbinr

[@tracysterio1236]

You needed to use a 7mm hook so it doesn’t curl up and your got a straight line for your blanket

[@cc_lc08]

you live in which country sorry this is my question was indiscreet but I just wanted to know where you were ?

[@thesimp6185]

Okay I'm just a girl from france, started knitting and crocheting recently, and I just had to pause on the price of yarn... Please don't tell me it's 15$ for a ball of yarn? TwT

[@Idk-k7e]

Well it depends because for example when I buy yarn I almost always buy it from Walmart it’s not much but it’s still does the work at it cost like a dollar or 2 anyways ,

[@amyshipley9802]

Depends what type how much and we’re you are I’m a Brit and its 11.99 for your average 😊

[@jenniferjasso5947]

When you first learn to crochet you try and learn using other peoples techniques on how to handle the hook and yarn. the more you crochet the more you are going to naturally relax and not hold the hook so tightly and you will be able to manipulate the hook and yarn to work the way you need it to. There really is no wrong or right way. practice makes perfect , just relax and take your time
