I love your video.can you do one in single crochet intarsia graphgans where the front and backside look good on both sides?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Yes I will do a video on that! Good idea. ❤

Amazing!Thank you

Thank you for your time and talent. This is such a helpful video to learn tapestry crochet. I agree, it is addictive to see the words form and the end result is so satisfying! 🥰💕 I've always wondered, if a zipper could be added to the bottom of a pillow like this. I'd like to use one pillow form and crochet your Welcome seasonal pillows as pillow covers. I've done a flap with buttons on the backside of the pillow and that works, but your two-sided design has me thinking... is it possible to add a zipper to crochet🤔

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Yes it is! I have done it once before. Such a good idea! And thank you. You're very kind. The words forming really is so fun to see!

[@StayCD]

@@CozyNooksDesigns You’re welcome 😉 Did you hand stitch the zipper? If so, did you use yarn 🧶 or a needle and thread 🪡 to stitch the zipper? Sounds like fun, I’ll have to noodle about it. Thanks 🙏

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

@@StayCD If I remember correctly, I used a machine, but I was terrified the whole time! haha.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge and expertise! I'm crocheting a doll poncho with a design on it. The first row starts on RS alternating every other stitch using two colors...green, white, green, etc. The row looks nice and neat on RS. The second row starts on WS alternating every other stitch using two colors. This row does not look nice and neat on the RS. Is there a way to neaten the look? I noticed you bring your yarn forward when changing colors...does this neaten the look? Do you need the bring yarn forward when you change colors every stitch? Any clarity you add will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Does it not look neat because you can see the color not in use? Or because the stitches are slanting a different direction?

[@sylvialarson1506]

​@@CozyNooksDesigns ~ it's not because of unused color showing through, although I don't like seeing the unused color showing through. I like the way you carry the floats plus the other tips you suggested! I want to clarify that I liked the way the stitches looked on the WS, but I needed and wanted the RS to look the same, which it didn't. I decided to bring my yarn in front at the color changes and yarn under as you demonstrated in this video...now the RS looks like the WS!!...now there are complete "Vs" on both sides. When I previously changed colors every stitch I just dropped one color and picked up the new color...the "Vs" never formed, they looked like "Xs". What a difference bringing the yarn forward! I'm so glad I found your video! What about the slanting in different direction? I'm just soooo happy that the color changes done on WS look nice and neat on the RS that I didn't notice the slant enough to "bother" me YET...HaHa. Are the slants preventable? Does the yarn under help? Again, thank you!

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

I'm so glad that helped! What I was referencing is that the stitches naturally slant one way for the RS and the opposite was for the WS. I thought maybe that was making it look messy, but there is no way to prevent that.@@sylvialarson1506

[@sylvialarson1506]

@@CozyNooksDesigns ~ Thank you for your explanation of the slanted stitches. I'm having trouble keeping my tension when I change color and pull old color forward every stitch and then yarn under...you do both so effortlessly!

[@michelleskivington3840]

I just want to say a big THANKYOU!! I was losing my mind before watching this video. I was on attempt no.8 of my 1st sc graphgan & it looked awful, i cldnt get the hang of carrying the yarn without it showing, after watching your video i realised where i was going wrong & now have hope that my 2nd graphgan which is a photo will be a little less stressful

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Oh good! I’m glad that it helped you! That makes me super happy to hear. Graphgans are so fun. ❤️

[@michelleskivington3840]

My 2nd graphgan is a photo of my son-in-law getting ready for the wedding & has 5 shades of grey & 2 shades of white which is why I wanted to do another 1 first. My daughter has no idea what I'm doing. Fingers crossed I will do it, I am determined x

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

@@michelleskivington3840 Wow! I bet that will look amazing! makes me want to do a photo blanket too.

[@croffeecraft1239]

does the " yarn hiding technique" works with lace yarn too? I'm gonna make a tapestry using lace yarn and it has 8 colors and it's my first time to do this. I don't want my client to get dissappointed..

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Yes! The yarn curves around the stitches, so it gets hidden with any yarn weight.

@@CozyNooksDesigns thank u! I'm watching all your tapestry videos now😁 hope to see your step by step tutorial on how to use stitch fiddle. there are others tutorial on how to use it, but it's quite hard to understand or perhaps u have other website that's easier to use?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

@@croffeecraft1239 I do use stitch fiddle. I find it the best, but I pay for the subscription. I'll add that to my list of videos to make!

[@ppwilbon]

Do you have a left hand version of this pattern

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

I’m sorry I do not! I hope to be able to add that to my channel this year.

[@ppwilbon]

@@CozyNooksDesigns Thank you for your reply

[@diannenewman8694]

Can this work be done on a baby blanket?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Yes! You may not want to float the yarn on the wrong side since you will be able to see the back on a blanket, but the pattern can translate to a blanket! :)

[@diannenewman8694]

@@CozyNooksDesigns can you help me with it?

Why is it tricky to add a color on the back side 30:55

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

I really shouldn't have used the word tricky. I prefer to never have a new color added on the wrong side for tapestry crochet bc I don't like how it looks. IMO it looks cleaner when a color is added on the front side because of the way crochet slants on the wrong side.
