A Special Join for Crochet

[MissyMouseFuzz]

ok....Thank you for taking the time to respond. Will be sure to keep watching .... just in case you get time to add it to your list. Have a wonderful week!

Megan....what are the chances viewers could get you to do a video of making the Soccasins pattern? Would love to see them being made.....

[MeganEMills]

@MissyMouseFuzz I think the chances are pretty low - at least in the forseeable future. I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility but I've got so many other things to try to do first that I'm charry about adding anything more to the To Do List. Regs... Megs

I have been crocheting yarn for over 20 years and have 2 stores for yarn online and this is VERY COOL and goes to show you can ALWAYS learn something new!

[BeStrixed]

This is so interesting. Im going to try this the next time i make a project. Thanks for this awesome technique. Im going to add it to my favs list.

I am 56 and crocheting since I was 15. I finally found the answers to those annoying little "loose ends" in technique that books never mention. I am floored by the expert perfectionism you show. I can't stand to do messy needlework.work. If it looks sloppy, what's the point of going through the trouble and expense to make anything? Thank You. Please make more videos. Especially on neat and secure seams, finishing, loose ends, correcting mistakes, invisible increases etc.

Megan, thank you for this and all of the wonderful tutorials on your website! I've been crocheting for 38 years and knitting for for 34 years and yet you've managed to teach me some awesome new tricks. Keep up the good work!!!!

Megan, I have been making hexagon granny squares. I looked at this video as a way to end a hexagon. It tightens nicely, but still leaves a knot on the side of the hexagon. Do you have a way to end this without having the knot?

[MeganEMills]

@hoodcanalnutters

Goodness! Did I never answer your question? I thought I did but can't see it. There is a way to do an invisible join for any final stitch that joins to a first stitch. It involves working most of the stitch, cutting a tail, threading it on a needle and finishing off by 'sewing' the tail to follow the same path a full stitch would have taken were it able. It is too hard to describe step-by-step but is on my very long To Do List for when I have a chance to do videos again.

@MeganEMills How sweet you are ... by now I have learned this technique. But I also had the terrible experience of making an afghan that began to unravel so I am very careful now to sew in a long way. The problem I had was that I tried the magic loop way of beginning a center of the hexagon and I assumed that it was secure. But they slipped! I have been sewing them back every since (lucky I kept the scraps!). ...Diane

[MeganEMills]

@hoodcanalnutters Hello again! Yes, those magic loops are tricky. I do a triple-ring and leave a long tail as well that then gets woven up through at least a couple of rows - and always changing direction a couple of times. I don't trim off the tails until after the item has been washed so it has a chance to bed down in its final 'natural position'. The afghan sounds very pretty so I understand how frustrating it is that the magic loop let you down. :-( Better luck next time! Regs... Megs
