Tuula, you are always so generous in assisting us to be better crocheters!!!

Delighted to know that you are coming to Ireland. It’s quite cold and raining most days so be prepared! I do hope you enjoy your stay here. ❤

I'm looking forward to it again! Rarely go as often as this, was over all of October. I hope the weather picks up - but at least I have had almost 2 months of sunshine here in Gran Canaria ☀

After all that money I spent buying this type of weaving in needle, that type of bent tip needle etc and all because after using them it was oh, well, they aren't much different. All I need is a sharp needle. I was taught never to use a sharp needle because it will split and damage the thread. Mind you that was decades and decades ago. Now I will use a sharp needle. Thanks Tuula, I always enjoy your videos. Your Aussie viewer, Sue

Thank you Sue! There would be some sort of yarns that could be damaged if you went into the fibers with a needle, like some glitter yarns. But most don't.

I am weaving in some ends right at this moment; working with worsted weight wool for the first time. I just took off my blunt tipped tapestry needle and reaching for a sharp ended one….thanks for that tip.

Tuula, I love the way you think! So many of your tips are ideas I already use! For example, the way you make your slip knot is exactly the way I was taught. I’ve never seen another KZreadr do it like that! And I really appreciated your tips on when to keep the slip knot loose. You are an excellent teacher!

I enjoyed this one while weaving my own ends in (cotton dk, so a bit more slippy). I like to put the needle between the fibres of the yarn too but I tend to use a very thin tapestry needle. 🪡

This is exactly how I darn in ends. If acrylic, go further. Another tip is to tie a slip knot in the end of the thread that you have darned in, and do a lot of cutting off at a time. The knot tells you cut. I do my ends in batches of 10 and I never find it a boring job. You tube stories keep me entertained.

Artificial fibers mainly because they don't stick. Acrylic or some novelty yarns like ones with glitter or cord-type ones but also hard crochet cotton, like mercerised.

Can't you do a double magic ring in the first place, and then just snip the thread off?

I find double magic ring so fiddly that I never use it, doing a single one like this kzread.infolFFD133pYv8 But if I did, I'm not usre I would dare to trust that since the yarn doesn't go to the opposite direction at all inside the stitches.
