OMG the tip on how to use 1 ball of wool and make it into 3 strands is amazing! So simple. Wish I had known this years ago and your other tips are also really helpful. Thank you 😊

The straight edge technique for ending the row was astonishing to me! I will always use that now!! Thankyou❣

[mikedemuth]

The one crochet tip I ALWAYS use is to NEVER miss one of your crochet tutorials!! You are the best!!

I always like seeing your videos pop up. I am 75 and learned to crochet very young, but I always learn something from you. Thank you.

[KayYarbrough]

I do the magic circle as you do, I have wondered why others make it so complicated. Thank you for all you teach.

I absolutely love your tips, and your channel. I’m 73 been crocheting since I was 8 and I’ve learned so much more from you. The magic ring your way is definitely the best, I didn’t know you could crochet an Icord, I always knitted mine thanks for the wonderful tip. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw how easy it was to make yarn thicker. I’ll explain how I recently did it, and if you or anybody laughs at me I won’t be offended😊 so I had a ball of yarn and needed to triple it, my idea was unravel all the ball, spread it out along the floor and try to divide it into three. Well I had yarn everywhere, my husband decided I needed help and between the two of us we were able to untangle the mess and get the thickness I wanted, after all that the three sections were not even, one section was about half a meter longer than the others. Oh dear😂😂😂🤣🤣

Wow, that i-cord tip is a real game changer! I usually hate knitting/crocheting i-cords, but you made it look so easy that I'm looking forward to trying it in a project.

First time I've seen that trick about keeping your double crochet rows even on the end - thank you for sharing!

I only recently discovered your videos Tuula, and I’m hooked-play on word intended lol. Thank you so much for these tips, wonderful knowledge to have indeed. Between you & Crystal, from Bag-O-Day, I am set for life with tutorials for projects to make.

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. I consider myself advanced. But these tips were very helpful. Thank you for sharing ❤

That I cord tip is amazing...I've never seen that before!!

[gramcracker]

All the tips are so very helpful but taking a photo of the project showing the hook size is brilliant. Thank you!! 🌵🌵🌵

Photographing the hook and WIP is a great tip. I use it all the time . Thanx for the magic ring tip. That’s going to make my life easier for sure.

[jenniferhuff]

I always love your tips and tricks and the way you explain them. Using a stitch marker in long chains has saved me a lot of grief!
