What another great idea, turning a beanie cap into a bag. You always have great videos and ideas. Keep it up!

[frezneditch]

Your videos are always very helpful!

[tjw1963]

@frezneditch Thank you! :)

[tjw1963]

@kellypinklily Maybe you could put the handle from the hobo bag on this one.

takes note the next time I do eyelet for drawstring designs either knitted or crocheted will start first with what looks like a crab stitch before proceeding with the actual crochet eyelet, seems to make a nice stitch guide too .. really adds a polished look ... ty ty tj

[tjw1963]

@pheadrasfall Thank you for sharing your insight! It is much appreciated!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS..... thanks :)

[tjw1963]

@raysima I appreciate the comment, thank you.

Is 4-ply different between the UK and the US, because my 4-ply is really really thin here in the UK, yours looks lovely and thick.

[tjw1963]

@RialaRunes I am not familiar with what 4 ply yarn is in the UK. Everything else is different so it would not surprise me if it were extremely different.

[RialaRunes]

@tjw1963 apparently, your 4-ply is the same as our Double Knit.

Strange how they would change wool/yarn from country to country.

[tjw1963]

@RialaRunes We have a few different yarn companies here in the US. 4-ply is different to extremes with each different company. Understanding gauge will help you modify patterns to use a variety of yarn.

[Folashade1000]

hi i just wanted to let you know that this beenie drawstring handbag is so cute! i would like to know how much yarn that i need to get in order to do this (i mean the entire handbag beenie cap and all) also if there is a patttern sheet that you have for it. thank you!

[tjw1963]

If you look to the lower right of the video you will see a link that say "More Info". There you will find a link to the written instructions.

i forgot to tell that i have also some crochet hooks from size 0 wich is the bigest to size 12 the smalest hook ( i use them to do things like when u did the elegant motif) and these are not known by the mm. i don't know if u have the same kind of hook in usa or not.

i love your work and i wanna do it but like i've said before i have a problem choosing the right hooks. so can you tell me the equivalent of your crochet hooks from what i've told you before about mine.

thanks alot for your help.

[tjw1963]

I do have a metric conversion chart on my crochet blog if that is something you are interested in.

[ThreeArabianHorses]

hi teresa, here in egypt we don't have those I or J crochet hook, most of the crochet hooks are known with mm like 3 or 3.5 mm crochet hook.

so i am having a problem choosing the right hook and i wish u can help me.

thanks

[tjw1963]

You would use a 5.5mm size hook. I hope that will help.

[ThreeArabianHorses]

thanks a lot for your help teresa i appreciate it. i wanna ask you another question: my weight is about 205 lb and i am looking for that you have some designs suitable to me like a jacket, a dress or alike so i can make it. thanks

[tjw1963]

I would suggest doing a Google search to see what is out there for apparel.  I know there are a lot of free crochet patterns.

[babyjuba]

I make these also, I instead of adding it after, do a tripple crochet as the second to last row. Then the last row I do what ever I have done on the hat, I weave grossgrain ribbon through every 2 or three stitches... We call them "hag's"

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[skwerl23]

i feel like the song "lets get it on" should of started at 2:16

[tjw1963]

Sorry but I have missed the connection between this video and that song.

[skwerl23]

its a totally normal video and all of a sudden it starts playing in slow-mo. and perfect slow-mo at that. i just think it would be funny. if you saw it with that noise youd probably laugh.

[tjw1963]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I get it now. That would be funny.

[angel4ever1]

This is too cool! I've been making beanies since I watched your video crocheting in the round. This is a new spin on the beanie hat and I love it! ^__^

BTW, what kind of yarn are you using? Is it a heavy worsted yarn or a cotton yarn?

[tjw1963]

I am using 4-ply worsted weight.

[jas1002]

Do you know what that is in the U.K.? Is it double knitting weight? I can't find a good conversion chart they all say something different. Do you have different grades of worsted weight?

[petitepirate21]

Cool! Now I know what to do with all of my beanies I made last year!

[brainwashedpotato]

COOOOOOOLTHX

[pseudolover]

Come take a look at my channel! =+)

[tjw1963]

Do you have a lot of people buying your work? I have tried to sell some of mine and have been lucky to sell maybe 15 hats over the past year.

[pseudolover]

no, not yet, I just started basically. I do have high interest from Boutiques for fall though.

[Rhoodax]

wonderful video. It was a very beautiful bag. Please upload a video on how to knit.

[prittyinpink2008]
