[@sumlintaylor6964]

Ok that adorable giggle of pure joy at fudging the mistake is so freaking cute

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

😂😂😘

[@katrinkarlsdottir]

Thank you for the tips. I love your laugh, laughter makes life' little frustrations much easier to get through.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

So true!

[@chelinfusco6403]

I love your laughter. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Blue nail polish.. love it.

[@lorrainegrasso493]

Love your enthusiasm and laughter, so wonderful!

[@janicenoble8865]

Tinna, you share so much with us. Thank you for making our crochet skills better

[@Hope-lq3li]

I want to be as happy as this lady. Love her!

[@elanamarie]

Thank you......For not only sharing your amazing teaching skills-but also your wonderful laugh! This was very helpful.

[@gingerfoxx1476]

This is brilliantly well timed. I am actively working on my Queen CAL as I watch this. These techniques turn those little mistakes into something that the late, great Bob Ross might call "happy accidents ". Handmade often comes with human errors and flaws that add character but these tricks really save the day for us mildly OCD folks. Thank you! ❤

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Yesss!! Happy accidents and make sure people know it’s actually HANDMADE and not just store bought mass produced stuff 😉👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾❤️‼️💯

[@msCherryblossom2505]

In love watching your videos even if I'm not actually crocheting along with you as you are so upbeat And happy your laugh make a me smile a lot. Thank you to the Gods of the North Atlantic for you xxx

[@rebekahgalliford]

You just have TOO MUCH FUN with us!! I love to watch you Tinna! Hope all is well with you xx

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

That music!! And the landscape....both make my heart sing...and dance 💜🎵👑💃 Ooooooo a NEW PIECE ALSO?!?! Tinna you are the 💣 diggity! These tricks are really going to come in handy for my Queen. Thank you Tinna!!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

☺️☺️☺️🙏🏽😘

[@khajiitkitten5679]

Check Knitter's Pride Wool Needles--no eye, just a loop of monofilament line at the end. MUCH easier to thread wool through! Also, love the tricks. We have to do whatever is needed to make it look nice. Remember, There Are No Crochet Police!

[@terifoster1138]

The country you live in is beautiful. Thank you for teaching us how to crotchet mosaic patterns.

[@franciscab8412]

Tinna, thank you oh so much for this. It’s my first time doing mozaïek crochet and a had made a mistake on the third row. Thanks you this guide i could nervously but easily correct my mistake. This made me feel so proud of myself and happy that i watched all the videos beforehand.

[@bethweg]

Just want to say the production value of these videos is top-tier. Appreciate the effort!

[@Studio_Ntea]

Thank you so much Tinna :) love the helpful tips...especially the speeding up of double crochets! My 3 year old has been watching your videos with me since we found you on youtube and has added "Whoppa" to her daily vocab now. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent and infectious laugh with us. Love the project you are working on in the tutorail :). Have a wonderful day.

[@juliemeanor6531]

Thank you. My mantra is. Never tell anyone that there is a mistake. Fake it till you make it. Keep giving us inspiration 👍💐❤️

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

That is actually key!! I shall remember that for my next hack video, I always say this to my students, please don’t be pointing out your mistakes!! 🙈😉😂😂😂😘

[@susanhageman5398]

I just discovered your channel. I love that you share tips and tricks. The pattern you are working on is beautiful!! I just found a mistake and didn’t want to take 3 rows out. I just started mosaic crochet and am loving it. Thank you again.

[@janehillsden9116]

Thank you so much for your videos-they’re like sitting down with a very helpful friend! 😃

[@deborahgoethe362]

Wow!! Tina that was great!! I’ve been crocheting for over 40 yers love the way u fixed that!!

[@ninabrookes8636]

Thanks for giving so much of your time. I'm 7 rows into the small Oceania and you have inspired me to paint my nails to match the project! Any tips gratefully received 🧜‍♀️

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Haha yeeeah 💅 🧶👌🏾

[@bodaciousbabs4147]

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

❤️❤️❤️😘

[@bongkochfeepakphroua7214]

I love your introduction of your clip. The location where you shoot you clip so fantastic. Super duper view.

[@archviewcondominium8512]

Thanks for the tips. Handmade is never perfect and I am a perfectionist but one who likes to fix those imperfections as easily as possible. Love your tutorials. So easy to follow..

[@jbc103085]

👀 I’m just over here checking out the Montana 😍😍😍

[@ruthmaxwell60]

I NEED to do that Montana, it looks B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L 😍. 🐢

[@vmmiller1558]

Thank you for always giving solutions and anticipating problems. This has really helped especially the tip to double crochet many in a row!!

[@walkingpureheart4330]

Thanks for great tips. Unraveling the rows is sweet and yes, it is the little things in life.. so appreciate this help ! God bless you, Tinna.

[@samwenzel2287]

I love this channel so much! I just found this channel because I didn’t even know mosaic crochet was a thing and I wanna learn how to make them. I love your energy and I love that you “over” explain things because it makes it so much easier to learn and pick up the techniques. I love your energy!

[@samwenzel2287]

I seriously could listen to you talk and explain stitching all day

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement ❤️❤️‼️🙏🏽😘

[@Honey-_bee]

You are the “Queen” of tricks!!!

[@jacobsgranddaughter]

[@nightowl4137]

TY for opening my eyes to the beauty of Mosaic Crochet 😳 after many years of thinking it's too hard to do I am now ready to start my first project. 🤩👍 Vickie G from Michigan

[@renaechatfield4526]

This is incedible! You have taken my crochet to a whole new and exciting level. So much fun and the patterns are endless. You take the bore out of boring! Thank you so much and I look forward to all your videos. :-)

[@katecurrah9354]

I'm over the moon happy in finding you! and what perfect timing as I am new to Mosaics but completely Hooked by your amazing designs. Thank you for demonstrating these many tips, techniques, yarn choices, hook placement, and much more! Each is so important in developing and improving my skills!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!

[@sandrataylor2323]

Thanks for the tips! It will save me a lot of time as I hate undoing my work for a single mistake.

[@veronicarosas6379]

Tinna I am trying to find a word for the magnificent work that you do I speak Spanish and your work doesn’t even need an explanation and has no language barrier your happiness helps me not stress when I’m doing your work

[@lulundb]

Have to say, you have the coolest opening so far of all the crochet channels

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Haha thanks 😂‼️❤️🙏🏽 I’m very lucky, my husband does videos, so he does all my intros and promo video stuff 🥰🥰🥰💯👌🏾

[@JeimiJamie]

You are just the best, and your laughter is contagious. I love it. You make me laugh with every video. And your personality... Just YAYYYYY! 🤣 You're awesome! I sincerely love that you've shared these with us. I've got so many ideas of things to make with mosaic now, and it's all thanks to you. Lots of love and keep being sweet! ❤️❤️❤️

[@shannonsolberg4308]

OMGosh! Tinna I so hope the Montana is your next pattern to be released after the queen!!! I have been wanting to do a southwestern / Native American feel blanket for a long time.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Yup!! thank you 🙏🏽 Montana will be next up!! Oct/nov, After the Queen cal finishes 😉😘

[@mariagill183]

Thank you so much for this whole series!!!I am now hooked on Mosaic crochet and you are the best teacher ever!!!🥰

[@jacquelinefoote8081]

Wow 🤩 you truly live in a beautiful beautiful part of the world 🌍 just came around to your channel as I wanted to learn the mosaic stitch thankyou so much from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xx

[@donnakivilcim2875]

As I use the knife grip , I tend to do your fishing method , I'm still trying to teach myself the pen hold as I feel it does help to crochet faster , thanks so much for all your wonderful tutorials ❤

[@Baselle]

Thank you for tips! I used the unravel a couple of rows tip on my Queen project already. Lucky that it was close to the far border. Nice to know you only have to "tadpole" instead of going full frog in mosaic crochet.

[@acreation3432]

You are terrific and your joy infectious.. I truly enjoy learning from you.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Momzie808]

That's so funny because I missed a stitch as well but I just added a piece of the same yarn from the back worked out like a charm! Just love your designs!

[@liap1293]

I would love you to continue the mosaic crochet series.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Thank you for the encouragement ❤️ I have a few more planned! ❤️

[@missgcrochet9048]

Thank you Tinna !!! Nice start to my day ! Coffee and a video from you ! Loved it xxx

[@rosemarycreollo4326]

Tinna, these are awesome fixes! I really enjoy learning new techniques and you have sparked my new love of mosaic! Over my 60+ years of crocheting, I've changed my anal attitude toward mistakes and ripping out stitches. If it isn't glaring (only I know it's there), I leave it. If it would be noticeable to others and I know I can do it and make it look right, I will "patch" it as you did. If all else fails, I give in and rip out stitches! Just can't get rid of the perfectionist in my!

[@crochetingmemorieswithcj6408]

Thank you so much for showing us these tricks on fixing stitches we messed up on. This is is definitely less stressful than having to unravel so many rows.

[@aliciaromeo8747]

I checked 4 different types of laughter 😁. Absolutely delightful!! We do appreciate these tips especially with our OCD to make a perfect piece.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for all the lessons, You are a Blessing.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

WOW!!!! TINA, ERES TODA UNA ARTISTA💗💗💗

[@thenoblegasargon]

Thank you so much for sharing the mosaic technique! I was exploring what direction to go in, having only ever used chain stitching before--but most next step crotchet is beautiful but maybe too lacey for my personal taste. This technique is so graphic and flexible, and I'm so grateful to you for the care you take teaching this!

[@SuddenEden]

Thank you so very very much. I am learning to crochet. I make lots of mistakes. When I am done watching your videos; I will be a pro! 💯💕

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

That’s the spirit! ❤️‼️

[@Akinsh58]

You'd make a wonderful traveling companion. 😄 I can't help but thank you again and again for being the first to break down mosaic crochet to me. And now you're teaching me HOW to easily fix my screw ups...you're simply wonderful!!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Haha well I’m happy that you’re happy ❤️‼️💃🏻

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

😂😂😂💯😘

[@jilltorn1732]

I noticed the the hook twist movement to pick up the front loop on another of your tutorials which I find so easy to do and use it all the time. The fold over trick will be perfect for the Queen. Many thanks for share your hidden secrets.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@77travelbug]

Love tips on fixing mistakes as I make plenty! So much easier and less frustrating. Tks. Pls tell us any more that you know!

[@nikc7712]

Oh my g..! Yes to tip #2. I’ve only just started doing mosaic and am working on both a baby Casablanca and the Queen A... both times I’ve lost a stitch by row 3. Sigh I’m adding the chain at the end and my counts are triple checked, so who knows. Thanks Tinna for introducing me to my new love! As a visual learner and lover of as many color as possible in a frame, your in-depth videos are greatly appreciated :)

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

❤️🙏🏽😘
