Hello everyone. I hope you are well and getting a lot of stitch work in. I can tell you; I am trying and some days it's just doesn't happen for me.
Today, I am bringing you a new tutorial. I have honestly used this technique multiple times in my projects, literally it has saved me great time. Some of you may wonder, this isn't really a tutorial, it's just a technique and that may help, or it may not help. But just wait until you try it out, you will know what I am talking about.
Have you ever wondered why your hook snags your yarn when you are pulling up that loop? Have you wonder how you can't make that happen, just so you don't pull on your previous stitches? Well, now is your chance to learn a whole new MAGIC TRICK and look pretty RAD, while you are busy working away on your new favorite piece of art.

Now, some real talk about how this unique technique came to life.
I was just sitting on the couch and binging a new show on the Netflix, my husband looks over at me and was just astonished by what my hands just did. I didn't even realize what he was talking about at the time, and I just blanked stared at him. He tells me just to try out again, of course this time my eyes were peering into my work and watching my hands do their magic. I repeated it without even realizing what I created. He goes, that is what I saw you do just a little of go.
I just couldn't believe what I just did. I was completely shocked and amazed. My hook became the magic wand like a wizard casting spell. Now, I was like I need to share this and hopefully make someone else feel the magic. So, now I am sharing it and getting out it the world, to help create and keep you inspired.
Sometimes, these little moments, just gives that little amount to SMILE big and proud, to show us that we LOVE doing what we LOVE no matter what.
Now, Let's get into this awesome Tutorial/Technique.
Have you ever wondered how not to snag your yarn with your hook? Have you ever how to keep your stitches from pulling too tight, where they become small in shape?
No more wondering! No more fighting the yarn! No more snagging either! I have fixed (I mean I think I have) the solution and making your craft a little more at ease, then that stressful pull at frogging, of hours of hard work.
There is no special type of HOOK or YARN needed to do this. You just need your favorite YARN and HOOK to give this one a try and put in some good practice, so that you can train your mind to do this every time you're stitching away.
For, this sample I am using my trusty Furls Crochet Hook, also using Furls Wander Yarn and Hobbii Yarn.
I can honestly tell you, at first it is confusing and hard to get used to it. It's like the more you work at it, the better it will be get over time and it will come natural to you. Plus, those stitches will look in the end product, you're creating to showcase.
This tutorial/technique is perfect for any STITCH you're working with, even when creating those chain spaces.
To Begin --
You have your hook in your hand, using it like normal. Instead of placing the tip of the hook (facing you) into indicated stitch, you are you going to turn the tip of your hook facing away from you. Yarn over like normal or yarn over with certain stitch -- hook tip still facing away from you. Insert your hook into indicated stitch. Before yarning over, turn your hook back towards you, where the tip is now facing you. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Here, you can complete your stitch like normal.
The video attached here, will give you a clear indication on this tutorial/technique actually carries out and shows how this MAGIC TRICK transpires.
I really hope you enjoyed learning about this awesome MAGIC TRICK. Let us know your thoughts and if you gave this super awesome MAGIC TRICK go.
Final thoughts: like I mentioned above, the first go is a little TRICKY and kind like "UGH" feeling, but the more that you keep using, the better it will come natural to. It took me awhile to the hang of it, now it just comes to me naturally and sometimes I use without even thinking I am doing it whatsoever. Its fun and like I, mentioned above you get to a pretty cool CREATIVE MAGIENTION.
