Possibly the BEST ORIGINAL Resin technique of 2023

Alcohol Ink on Jesmonite the swipe technique

Hey my lovelies, In this video I am showing you how I used the Cling Film Technique in Epoxy Resin, to create the most amazing luxurious fabric effect within the resin. As I say in the video, this is my first attempt and whilst it did not turn out how I expected, my second attempt truly is not to be missed. My second attempt will be out Saturday.

This is my favourite method for working in the round with a cabled tunisian hook. I did not invent this technique, I learned it from Ben Burchall and I think even he didn't invent it!

I use this 'connecting stitch' method for nearly all my 'in the round' Tunisian Crochet patterns. It does not leave a 'jog' in the rounds which is great when working in stripes - such as in mosaic.

You can apply this technique to any in the round Tunisian Crochet pattern. Please note there are other methods for making a connecting stitch and you can also work in the round with a double ended rigid or cabled hook.

So simple, and so stretchy! This is my new favorite bind-off, good to use whether you need a little or a lot of stretch. A good matching cast-on is the German Twisted CO, video here: http://youtu.be/UcwmCuIylII

Why Dropped Stitches Are So Divine

Julie Weisenberger from Cocoknits shares her technique for casting on a large number of stitches using the long tail cast on method.

Long tail CO provides a neat edge to your work. But how often have you CO 200 of 220 and run out of yarn, ripped, CO again only to have 3 yards of extra tail at the end?

When a pattern requires you to CO 100+ sts how do you estimate how long a tail to leave? The answer: don’t.

Instead, use two tails of yarn, either from two separate balls of yarn or a tail from the inside and a tail from the outside of a center-pull ball.

See the step-by-step instructions on the Cocoknits website: https://cocoknits.com/tips-and-tutorials/techniques/no-more-estimating-tail-length-for-a-long-tail-co/

Julie Weisenberger from Cocoknits explains how to make a twisted cord or icord substitute with a kitchen mixer and yarn. These cords can be used for Cocoknits sweater patterns or any number of DIY projects including gift wrapping and yarn jewelry making.
