For a while the last video in my pin loom weaving series! I will definitely be back with more, but I’m so into crochet and knitting at the moment, and making my own designs, that I want to do that first. Well, that’s what the Craftsteacher website and YouTube channel is all about: all kinds of crafts. I hope you enjoy a lot of different crafts too, it’s so fun to do something else now and then. At the moment I’m working on a lovely honeycomb shawl. And a crochet wrap with a simple wavy pattern. I made the video’s for them, and they areRead More →

Introduction This is a sequel on the 2 previous tutorials about how to do a crochet border around your weave. You can find the first one, where I used slip stitches, here, you can find the tutorial where I used single crochets here. I use the US terminology, for the UK it’s double crochet. Take a look at these tutorial first, because they give a much more detailed explanation with a lot more pictures and drawings. This tutorial is an extension, to show you how to do 4 stitches per corner. You have 2 flavors in that, that I will show both. 2 Or 4Read More →

Introduction This tutorial is about finishing the edges of your weave with a border by doing single crochets. I’m using the US-terms here, for the UK it is called a double crochet. It’s actually the same tutorial as the tutorial with slip stitches (you can find that here), but now with doing single crochets. This is again an in depth tutorial, with lots of pictures and drawings. You can click on each picture or drawing to see a larger version. I made a video of this also, where I go into detail about whether you should do 2 or 4 stitches in the corners, andRead More →

What’s been happening Hi you all!!!! It maybe looks like there isn’t happening very much, but I’ve been working on some crochet and knitting projects, related to a yarn review. I had reasons to put part of it out on my Dutch channel with some priority, because I wanted to support my favorite yarn supplier (De Wolman). So that took some time that I couldn’t spend with you here. If you’re curious, you can go to my Dutch website (www.dehandwerkjuf.nl) or see the instructions for the crochet shawl I designed here. I didn’t translate it there yet, and it will be here on this websiteRead More →

Introduction This tutorial is about finishing the edges of your weave with a border by crocheting slip stitches. This is an in depth tutorial, so you will get the best result. Visually, but also for attaching weaves to each other. I will try to explain this to you with lots of pictures. You can click on each picture or drawing to see a larger version. I also made a video of it, but continue reading after the video link if you prefer that. On the pictures you will see my weaving frame with 24 nails on each side, 4 corner nails and 22 nails inRead More →

I’ve promised a couple of times that it would come, and here it is! The video on how to weave a triangle! You may have already seen the tutorial I did about it on this website (see here). It is so easy to do. And it makes it possible to do so much more projects! I love triangular shawls, and you can do that by making squares together with triangular parts. You could even do just triangular shapes, and piece them together, just like you only had a small tri-loom! That could really give a fun effect! So, give that a try also. So, hereRead More →

I promised I would publish this video soon, so here it is. Part 2 of working with finer yarns, going into detail on doing a crochet border. Of course you could decide to just take the weave of the loom without a crochet border, but if you decide to do one, here are 2 tricks to help you do that. You now have 2 threads around each nail, so you have to handle that in a certain way. It also depends on which side you’re working, so I show you how to deal with both situations. Wishing you again fun watching this!Read More →

Help! I made a mistake! Is there a way to fix this? And then you will get to that moment that you have done your weaving, and you’ve maybe even added a crochet border, and you look at it, and you are like: “Oh noooo!!! Something has gone wrong!”. Well, in this video I show that all is not lost, and that you can easily fix weaving errors. All you have to do, is cut out the row where the error is, and needle weave in a new strand of yarn! When you have done a crochet border, like in the video, you just haveRead More →
