I just started 😂

I am 69 and have crocheted since I was 10. I usually use a #10 bedspread thread for small items like the doll clothes I made for my granddaughter. I have several steel hooks from my grandmother that I still use. The most unusual thing I have ever seen was when I as a teenager. It was a tiny chain made from human hair to be attached to a man's pocket watch given by his true love. The smallest hook I have is a size 14 steel hook.

I have been micro crocheting for years (I am 89 years old) so I am an hold hand at this type of crocheting

First thing I thought when I considered micro crochet was "im gonna need a magnifier." And,sure enough 😊 Thanks.

Wow, I got so lucky that this week is my first week discovering and attempting micro and you’ve just started pumping out full length videos 💪🏻

I've got all including magnifying light. Ready set crochet!!!!

My mom used to crochet with sewing threat to make blankets for doll houses. I did it when I was in the military, when I would get home and really upset or angry about something at work I would sit down with a hook and thread, you can't crochet something that small and be angry.

I started crocheting with very intricate doilies, so this is fantastic. I already mastered the tiny hook.👍

I too have been doing what you're terming microcrochet since I was 5 years old. So almost a 1/2 a century. I have some disagreements dark colors. Only become a problem when you don't have light But not light in the form you're referring to underlight. If you put the light underneath your project you can see through, you can see all the holes. It is easier, but let's be honest here. Even easier is knowing your pattern and feeling it. I don't need an underlight when I'm working with black now. Because I know how it works and I can feel it. Your silicone covers don't allow you to feel it.. And a proper crochet person is someone who has learned the callouses of youth and practice. The more you crochet the more callous you have and thus no pain. I'm a fiber artist that has worked on everything from 42 Count linen to size 16 to 18 needles in crochet.

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience and insight into working with dark colors - it's a great tip to use backlight. I totally agree that understanding the pattern and developing that tactile sense is an important part of crocheting, but I wouldn't expect that of a beginner. It's one of those skills that comes with practice. Crochet is a beautiful art with room for different techniques and styles and I respect the various ways people approach it. However, in my opinion, what defines a "proper crochet person" varies greatly, and it's not just determined by the presence of calluses. I, for example, still haven't developed them after almost two decades of daily crocheting and/or knitting sessions. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my great love of hand creams.

Thanks for this. Will try out micro crochet using your tips. The one thing I made was a pair of pale blue/ yellow centred daisy earrings. They turned out about an inch and a half in diameter. My plan was to go smaller in hook size with a single thread from an embroidery shein. I'll see how it goes.

Wow! What an impressive well thought out video guide!! I’ve never thought of doing micro crocheting but I think your suggestion are fantastic for anyone who truly wants to attempt it!!

Thank you so much!

I wish I had been able to buy those finger protectors when I wrote my book on 1/12th scale crochet. Although since the discovery of Clover Soft Touch hooks I have found they are not quite so sharp on the fingers as the very ancient hooks I used at the time. Although I have sizes 0.04mm and 0.05mm I couldn't use those as they were difficult, if not impossible to find. Clover now sell 0.05, which is better than having only 0.06mm. Sadly I can no longer crochet small pieces due to a hand injury, although I may try again eventually.

The lighting tip--I have found that because of the time of day, it's very good lamps that help. Because I choose good light I haven't had a problem with the dark colors, but since I do prefer to work with the rainbow, I don't use them a lot.

I've been collecting 1:12 scale miniatures for a dollhouse I'm planning sp this is perfect because I do want to create miniature afghans, pillows and rugs

That is so amazing ! I definitely want to give this a try .😊😍

Thank you so much - I use them mostly for dollhouse decorating, but microcrochet is also an amazing medium for making jewelry or tiny amigurumi, just to name a few.

@missxade

4 ай бұрын

Yes, it is. It does get a bit easier with practice, though.

Can you, please, give me some pointers on thread usage? Like, how much thread do you need for some classic motifs and stitches? How long a spool lasts? Also should I use embroidery thread or sewing thread, if I want to upgrade my micro crochet skills from working with thin yarn (like Iris) and 1.0 mm hook to a 0.5 mm hook and even thinner material? Tbf, I probably should get a 0.7 mm hook first, before jumping straight to 0.5 mm one, but atm shopping is not an option due to health reasons, so I'm trying to work with what is already available at home.

@missxade

8 ай бұрын

I'm working on a video on this very topic, but here are a few options for you when it comes to thread+hook combinations: - If you want to use a 0.5mm, you can use virtually any regular sewing thread (50wt) you have at home, or work with one strand of embroidery floss. I started micro crocheting with a cheap polyester thread I already had at home. - For the 0.7mm hook, I'd use something thicker like Gutermann Top Stitching thread or 1-2 strands of embroidery floss. Another option would be to use two strands of regular sewing thread. I haven't crocheted much with embroidery floss, but I've seen people get really nice results. I personally find the smooth finish of sewing threads easier to work with at such a tiny scale. When it comes to thread usage, it really depends on the size of the spool and what you're making, but it's generally a very inexpensive hobby. I never really calculated how many squares I could make with one spool, but a tiny granny square (3-4 rounds) will barely make a dent in a 100m spool of regular sewing thread. Of course, if you plan to make larger projects, like miniature solid color blankets, you may need more thread. In that case I'd get two 100m spools, to be on the safe side.

I know that crocheting with thread has been around for centuries, and as a non-native English speaker, I just assumed it had always been called that. 🙂 I don't know when the term was coined, but it was around when I started working with thread over 5 years ago.

@@DJ-nh6wq I got really curious about what it's been called over the decades. I did a quick google search and apparently what is now called "micro crochet" (tiny hooks + thread) was just regular crochet in the early 19th century, and the crochet we know today (full garments, thicker yarn, and bigger hooks) became more popularized in the 20th century. I feel like trying some 19th century patterns to test my skills.
