"I love to weave in ends", Said nobody ever! 

Actually I find it quite relaxing, 

But I try to weave them in as I work my project, 
 rather than waiting to the end.

But if you Hate it,
 What's a Crocheter To do?

You can Stitch over your ends.

You can carry your yarn.

You can weave in your ends.

COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA (26) Let's Talk About Velvet Yarns | Posh Pooch Designs

COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA (26) Let's Talk About Velvet Yarns

By Sara Sach of   Posh Pooch Designs 

Velvet Yarns

Working with velvet yarns can be a little tricky to

 work with, but the time spent is well worth the results.

Here Are  Few Hints To Make It Easier.

1. Choose a larger project.  

Do not try to make little intricate designs.

Most of the color variegation can not be seen 

with a small project. I suggest scarves, throws, 

blankets, cowls and pillows.

2. Choose a project with very little detail. 

Most intricate detail is lost because of the 

fuzziness of the yarn.

3. Crochet loosely - It is better to be too lose then 

too tight with this type of yarn. It is hard to find the

stitches if you crochet too tightly, and just as hard

 to work with if you stitch tightly. 

So relax and loosen up a bit.

4. Don't let the yarn frustrate you. 

Make a practice swatch, and study how to find your

stitches, and where to place your hook.

If you are struggling with it, set it down

and come back later.

Some really great things about Velvet Yarns_

It has a beautiful feel and makes very luxurious items.

It has great drape and flows nicely for a scarf or shawl.

Once it is crocheted or knitted it becomes more stretchy.

The colors a rich and beautiful.

Today's Question, 

"How do I save my "frogged yarn" 

so I can reuse it.

"Frogged" means when you rip out a crochet project.

 Maybe you missed a stitch or got off count,

And you had to rip it out.

The yarn ends up all bumpy, and you want o get those bumps out.

What I do is Spray the yarn with just water.

Dampen it, do not soak it.

Then I roll it into a ball or cake, loosely but firmly.

I then place it in a bowl and set in on my dryer, 

or a warm place so it can dry.

Remember when Working with Wool or Wool Blends,
 if you get it too wet and agitate it too much it will felt.

After 24 hours or longer, sometimes it several days

 before I get to it, I unroll it to make sure it is dry in the center,

 and than re-roll it.

When drying, I do not recommend setting the the sun,
 as it can bleach out the colors.

COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA (13) Let's Talk Tension and Gauge | Posh Pooch Designs

COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA (13) Let's Talk Tension And Gauge

With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

See The Video On my Youtube Channel 

 at This LINK

What is Tension and Gauge when it  comes to Crochet?

What is Tension?

Tension is basically how tight or loose you Crochet Hook.

 What is Gauge?

Gauge is determined By Rows X Stitches. The Yarn label will state
 For Example: 

US 1/ 5.5 MM Crochet Hook

12 S X  15 R = 4 X 4 inch swatch

This means 12 single crochet stitches X 15 Rows

 will equal a Gauge swatch that is 

4 inches wide X 4 inches tall.

Why is this important?

It will help you determine how tight your tension is.

If Your swatch measures bigger or small them it should, you know you need to change your tension.
