Welcome, and we're going to let this waiting room all get hooked up right here. I'm Michael, on behalf of the crush the crowd and your inspirations calm and Michael's today. So we're going to take a deep breath. They may be run back to my house to get my sample.
So,
I am completely out of shape and
Everybody screaming Oh
Okay, so. Okay.
And Welcome everybody. And we're just going to let this waiting room all come into play. And I'm your host, Mike, you have the question crowd representing Michaels calm today or.ca depending where you are in the world. Thank you.
Is where you're from today.
And let's see where we are getting people from around the world today and it is a Saturday afternoon I work seven days a week. So whether I'm here on a
Thursday or Tuesday, doesn't matter to me because that's all fine and we can hook 24 seven can't wait girls. One more. Oh honey, before we go to bed, one more row.
Which turns into two three
A bowl of ice cream. Another room and another row and before you know it. It's one o'clock in the morning and when you crowd the bed, your spouse is giving you crap for turning on the light
And that's a true story. So yeah, so welcome aboard today and we're going to pretend today is a crochet crews without the cruise. So just way back and forth. I can see that we have cruisers in the room, you know, we're just like, Oh, well, we
Love when the whale shark because it means I get a break and everybody looks out the window and then I get a few minutes to breeze. So really quite wonderful. So
Here we are. And it is a Saturday afternoon and welcome aboard just introduce where you're from. Today it is a community here on
I keep saying on board when I'm out in my studio. I always say on board. I have no idea. It's a sickness, we'll just go with that.
So today we're going to learn some fun stuff with mosaic. Anybody not learned mosaic. Maybe you can leave me a comment in the chat if you're not over there at the chat. That's where the hot action is OK. That's the hot tub.
Right over there in the chat section. So if you want to get to know each other, bathing suits optional. Of course, that's over there so
We have mosaic crochet today some color interlocking as well. And that's all quite some fun and
For me it was one of those concepts when they presented it to me in December. I'm like,
Oh my God, how am I going to teach that. And then I went to go do the videos and it took me three times before I could get it straight because you know me not so straight
Was having trouble keeping it straight. So the designer end up coming back to me and giving me some tips. So I'm going to be sharing some of those tips with you today. And so
It looks like we have a little bit of like I've done it. I've done it. I've done it. So we have Australia in the host today that will be in the middle of the night there.
And so, you haven't tried it, that that's why you're here while you're in the right space, whether you learned from me or not today that is going to be the million dollar question.
But we do have you all hooked up. If you want to take it nice and slow, you know, go.
You know the scenic route. You can also check out my videos on on YouTube. Under The Crochet Crowd as well as my friends over there inspirations learning channel as well.
So company people here in the room by saying yes or no has done the stitch along that we just did for the mosaic because that'll give me a hand because most it's kind of fun. So
No, no, no. Yes, yes. So it's like, yes, yes, yes, yes.
So that's what we have behind the scenes going on. So I'd like to introduce the team that's behind the scenes. So today, the voice of
Will that will come out of nowhere. So I'd like to introduce Patricia Patricia is used to be part of the social team of your inspirations. I worked together for quite some time and then they transfer her away from me.
By so they said, well, Patricia is going to be your host. And I'm like, Patricia who and she goes, Patricia Patricia Patricia. And so we got partition the house. So Patricia. Can you say hello, please.
Hello, everyone. I'm so excited to be here with you today, Michael.
Yes. What are you doing, you're broadcasting from Toronto.
I am here in Toronto sunny Toronto.
It's not I am
Go ahead.
I got my invisible hook ready, I'm ready to answer questions and chat with people in the top box.
Now, if I remember you do actually know how to crochet and notes.
I know how to knit you
Stick me with the host, as a matter
That is the wrong and every level possible but she's wonderful a young lady and we love working with her for representing Michaels. Today we have Stacy Stacy in the house.
Silence days. Wow.
Oh, there she is. I am here. So she's broadcasting, all the way from a text as right
Yes.
Yeah, yeah. Now, you were saying it's pretty hot down there.
It is. It's in the 90s, it's going to be in the hundreds and a little while.
So do co chairs like hooking that in that he or do they take a break.
My mom loves to crochet. So yes, absolutely.
So she's hot. But yes. Awesome. So there you go. So that's what we have behind the scenes behind an apparently they say they tell me the women at the south. They don't sweat.
They go honey, I'm going on a cruise this word. Okay, so don't even give me that whatever
So let's go down to the so right now you're looking at the top cameras. So let's go down to the desk and check out my goodies here on the table.
So Stacy's just changing the angle this what we're going to attempt today, isn't that fun fabulous. Does that not remind you have card sharks.
That the member of the background of the card sharks with the squares and stuff. Now I know purchases young, what do you know card sharks at all. Patricia
I'm so sorry I
You know I told somebody the other day that I love. Carol Burnett, and they're like Carol who and I'm like, You need to lead my studio
Like, who does not know who Carol Burnett is right, so I
Don't take me out.
I'm showing my old age here by Carol Burnett, by far is the best entertainment. So what we have here is a wonderful pattern that we can do. So it is a one sided pattern. So when we go to flip this over, you'll notice that is completely striped on the backside.
And the wonderful thing about this is that once you understand this concept of there and back there back
There and back, you can actually get a hold of the. So one way you have to do all the thinking. And then the other way. You just have to follow what you did.
So if you, if that's kind of a fun thing for you to do. That's kind of fun.
The one side you will notice that it's a nice clean edge the other edge. We're going to just make sure that we are just carrying up a yarn.
Because we're going to slam a border around those things. So you can just carry up the yarn so knowing yarn tails. Can we get a key.
For know yarn tales. So there's no yarn tales in this thing. So you're just going to cover it up with the border and then just talking. So he haha that's right girls.
What you understand this concept for those that did our stitch along earlier this year. You can see that you can do a lot of great things with mosaic like this.
So these were my testing trials samples again stripes. That's the commonality of the back here. It's all about the stripes you can do boxes.
Strokes, you can do
Whatever the shape this. You think this is
You can do this. And it's really quite fun. And look what you can do. You can do two of these and watch. It's like magic. Oh my God, I just did the other one.
So you could do like a blanket with one side like this flip it to the other side for lie. It's magic. So you can do that. And also, I did actually like this one to this is called the tiles kind of similar to what we're doing. Again, it's all striped in the back.
You will also notice that we can do angles. So you saw the angle before. This is the sister angle.
Okay, so it's not turned upside down, but you can actually do stuff like that. And the wonderful thing about it too is that once you get to understand this, you could just keep on going and just have it, blend, blend, blend
And do your sampling, just like that. Isn't that pretty awesome.
So you can do this kind of thing. This is going to be a trend for a couple years. So you're pretty much safe to do Afghans or anything that you would like to do with this concept and still be within trend. I think it just depends on the yarn as well.
So the baby blanket. People who needs to pattern Patricia is going to hook us up with the pattern, you'll see in the chat window a link. If you have not got a pattern yet.
And so that's what we're going to be doing there is two errors on the pattern. At this time, I will show you where those are. I also did
Put a blog out a better. Now we're going to crush a crowd to show you where that was. And that is kind of
What we're going to do. So I'm, I'm going to just cover those two errors and this is the reason why has not gone publicly yet. I did rehearsals for the sub Tuesday. And this is where I kind of
Found the error. So let me show you where the errors are
You're already typed in ready. Who's got pencils and pens and paper and all that jazz.
Ok ready
Here we go. We're ready. So the first error here. So we have a diagram that is on Page number to start page number three. And you will notice that it goes to row number 13
Do we agree. Yeah. Yes. Are you able to speak a little louder. I can speak louder. I don't know if Stacy can adjust my sound. So you see row number 13
And so road number 12 is the end of the repeat. So one through 12 is the repeat in the pattern. It states that you are going to continue the pattern until road number 10 and
Know it's real number 12 so you will notice that road number 13 is not even written here. It's an oversight was accidentally missed so wrote
To you is the actual one at the end of the blanket. So you just keep repeating rows one through 12 one through 12 and at the very end of your blanket, you are going to finish off with road number 13. Do you understand that.
And the reason, how I knew that was missing is that if you have changed at the end of your blanket, you're going to have a space right at the end. And when you look at this child's blanket. There are no spaces.
So 13 fills in the final spaces so that you have a flat edge just like you would if it was down here.
Comprehend is that good.
So that is where those errors are and that's not, it's not a deal breaker. So we can still keep on going today.
So the yarns choice that we are working with is called Burnett baby velvet crushed. So this year is velvet yarn. So I wanted to do something just more of a solid
I'm really like this idea I want to do this whole thing for my house. But when you look at it from a different element. The Velvet yarn does a great job. This is my own pattern. I know. Brilliant.
This is not how it's supposed to look like, though. Let me tell you, so my whole thing was smiley faces and I ended up with this.
So I'm going to show you how to change the design. Anybody want to care to change the design. Before we get started, and I'll show you how this is done. So I had a one on one meeting on Thursday.
So repeat the air is one more time. So repeat the airs there's road and 13 is the ending at that and Patricia. Can you do the link once again. So they're going to post a link on the chat just there's going to be a PDF that you can get from that point it's also
Doing it right now.
Perfect. So, this you don't feel so good, like butter on the fingers and I'm going to show you how the designers actually design so much will teach you something while you're here.
So what you just need to do is that you just need some graph paper. If you don't have graph paper just make a graph and the whole trick to this thing is that two boxes. Can you see that two boxes equals a row going across. So what you want to do is that you want to draw
Rectangles that are using two boxes up on the side like that.
So, and you want to leave to empty boxes in between.
That's the rain that you're here, by the way. So what you want to do is that you assign the color of that box. So in this case, it just say red
And white
So this whole row is going to be red. When you go to a crocheted across
Like this and then these two rows will be white. So if you want white to drop down. All you have to do is that you have white and then you drop it down somewhere in between.
Like that. So it'll be white, white, white and then drop down the white and then that will cover up part of the red to do that.
So in this particular concept, you don't really see how it turns out until after you have to plan it before. So when you're doing read here you're single, a single, single, single, single, single chain to
To leave a space. So when it comes for the weight, you can just drop it down and what you can do is then draw in your shapes. So if this were here was red
And I want to have the red drop down. I will just drop it down here.
So when I do this white one is single, single, single, single space to leave room.
And then you fill it in. And you could make shapes what you can do with this kind of concept. If you put the graph paper over something that you love.
Like maybe a shape or whatever you can do something like this and come up with your own patterns.
So, so what we're going to do is I'm going to show you how to do the drop downs. This is how it's done. So if you want to really look at a diagram that is done like this.
Then are what you can do is if you look at your inspirations under the party hardy baby blanket. It's with the heart mosaic, you will see a chart that looks like that. And that's how it's done.
So row 13 is a missing from the written instructions and that is part of the air on the pattern with that. So it will be done like there. So let's try to
Do one of these. So the designer. Thank goodness has left us some clues in this pattern. So when we go to look at the pattern. Lots of writing. Who knows how to read crochet diagrams. Anybody not know how to read crochet diagrams. Is that a little bit. Question.
The diagram is on Page Number three of the of the idea
So we had no idea. I do. I don't, I don't, never a clue. Nope. Nope. You taught me with a good luck check so
A diagram is really quite helpful for this in order to follow it along. And we're going to try to accomplish that today.
One of the biggest questions that I get all the time when I do video work. I want to change the size, what do I need to do. So the our inspirations designers have been actually
Giving us that information now patterns because I know people are going to ask for it. So if you would like this baby blanket, but in something bigger.
Or something smaller what you can do is that it's in multiple to 10 plus 14 anybody not understand that.
So quickly. What that means is that it's 1010 1010 and when you're satisfied with the with just add another 14 chains and you will have
You will have a chain that will match exactly what this is supposed to happen. So you can't just randomly guess a chain so. Oh, we lost Sarah she she just gave up.
On trying to stick with me, Sarah will have a drink or something. So what we need is that we need to go in multiples of 10 so 10 1010 so I never just take a calculator and say like 10 times, you know, four equals 40 I was just say 10 1010 1010 and then
And then when I'm happy with the with I add another 14 chains. And what that will do is that it will keep that diagram in balance, just like this.
So if you look at this, this is in sets of 10 plus 14 so if you follow the pattern exactly as it's written if you chain 134 that will give you that baby like it but if you want something bigger.
It's pretty awesome. So let's do a small little chain together and let's we're going to have to. So if you have Red Heart Super Saver
If you have
Burnout with our pronounced. What is that Patricia Super Value. So there you go.
So what we're going to do is that we're going to change. We're just going to do a couple repeats. So let's just begin
It's suggesting a four millimeter size G crochet hook and let's try and see if we can do this. I'm going to leave this. So when I film at home.
Here, you never see this off camera but it's sitting right in front of me and I just kind of lines. So let's begin. Start off with the slipknot.
This is an intermediate level. And what I want to do is I want to change sets of 10 or you can do 134 but if we do a salt small swatch today.
Then we can just blast you through this later. And I will provide a full tutorial for this later on. Once the pattern is corrected. So let's do multiples of 10 so 10 let's do two multiples of 10 so fun.
There's one multiple 10 copy with it, yes or no, no, I'm gonna keep on going.
So Mikey Joy's had a question.
I know, I know.
Why are you doing 10. I mean, hold on, let me read the question again. Why are you not, why isn't it multiples of 10 plus four.
Because it designer said 10 plus 14
There you go.
Honestly, it could be you know what it could be multiples of 10 plus four. But I have to say if a designer puts that in their chances are they've done the legwork to understand why it's not 10 plus four.
Is that okay answer.
Choices Joyce. Okay.
So it's so it's changed 20 I got 20 great now so 10 and 10 and when I'm satisfied with the width up I want to hold it up against something like a sofa, or a bed, I want to add team so 123
So I have 14 so 1010 plus 14 is where I'm married now.
So you know what the answer just came on there. So Sherry has the right answer is that because you would end up with a partial have a motif section. That's the right answer.
Is cherry.
See least somebody's paying attention. I was, it may not be your I purchaser.
On a series on top of her stuff.
And I am grateful.
So there we go. So what's were satisfied with this, we're going to just, if you look at the diagram here.
So we've literally got 10 so we're starting on this side to this side so
10 and then we did over. So when we start the first row. This is a setup row. This is the only time will ever do this the setup rose, one, two, and three, and then after that we repeat rose number one through 12 so setup row is one single crochet. How many changes back. Do you see that
34 is right so Marion 34 is right. So how many chains back are you going to single crochet
Okay, there's one chain. What's this one.
It's so you're going to go second chain from the hook. So this is the first chain. This is the second chain from the hook.
Sherry again. She knew it.
Oh my god, she should be teaching this thing.
So,
I like being able to get
The back hump of the stitch. Once you get the first back hump the rest of the hump show up. So it's like the Loch Ness Monster turn it around and you end up with the perfect looking chain.
It's in you go in the back home. Once you get the first back hump the rest of the backups will be visible to you. It's harder to see it with this yarn. Yes, I will agree with that. But once you get used to this yarn. It's like butter in your hands.
And so I'm just going to sing or crochet all the way back, because that's what the chart says, Yeah.
Any other questions, Patricia, we're just thinking crush it on the way back.
What hook. Are you using
I'm using a four millimeter size G as in giraffe.
Nice and Tracy wants to know, she started Afghan with Elvin. And it warmed. Do you have any
Honey, you got to be tight. It's tight.
Because it's Chanel, and because it's shiny and because it's slippery, it can warm if the stitches are
Are too big. So if you use single crochet with this yard, you should not have it warming at all. I'm not going to guarantee that but I have not
Seen any warming with single crochet at all. So it's about being tongue.
Tied so my mother when she taught me to crochet. When I was kid. She never taught me this back humbling. I actually saw that a few years back from now and I always had an edge that look like crap. And I realized a couple years ago, that if you go in the back edge you always have
You always have the end that looks right and looks finished.
The only time that I found that it doesn't work on the back hump is when it's burnout blanket. When the yarn is really alternately thick, I find it leaves ugly gap at the at the end. So you just gotta determination at. So the back hump. What magic is this
There are no dumb questions the pattern goes left to right and the crocheting is going right to left. So Joyce. There are no dumb questions every question is a valid question.
A separate for Santa Claus exists. He does. So let's cover that quickly. So these diagrams, it's a myth that people think that it's a left or right diagram choice. So the only difference is is that because how I knew that I was starting here. Did you figure out how I knew that other than
I'm fabulous and I'm pretty hot here in Nova Scotia.
The how I knew that is because the second line up had this chain. So I realized that this is where I start because the second row had a chain of one
And usually when we go to start another row, we have to chain up a number and this chain was on this side. So this chart happens to start on this side so it can start on this side, it doesn't really matter. So Jeannie Jeannie
Yeah. So what we have is that you just have to look on where this is right.
So that's kind of a fun thing. So, my eyes are following it this way and this way. Eventually, you have to read it that going left to right or right to left. It's just this time we just started on the right and moved our ways last, is that okay choice.
And Jeannie is messing so G. Our designer is on this line heard, I have a bad habit of repeating. I think I have the bad pattern habit of when she has a statement and she's excited about it. I repeat that statement. So I said, I'm hat. So she goes.
Yeah, we need a life where a seriously hope to the arm. So what is warming. It's when the stitches kind of want to warm its way out like work its way out and kind of leave loops. You see happens when it's washed.
So I'm making my way all the way to the end.
And then we're going to start setup road number two.
Do you notice in setup row number two is that it looks like it's a shade.
Okay, that's not just like we call it somebody being shady there's a reason for that. So let's take a look at the pattern. And let me remind myself and let me pull my sample.
And if you look at it here. We went all the way back. And we realized that the shade. Here is the actual color. So if this is a different color for you what I would do if I were you. And you were me, I would write on there Burgundy.
Equals grey.
And then you'll never question that. So every time you see gray, you'll know that it's the color. So whatever color you're working with, I would write it there.
Okay, so every time. It's great. So when it's white. That is the color that we were just working for working with
So let's begin the next lineup. So, rule number two. How many are we going to chain up to start Joyce. How many are we going to do to
Chain up in which direction am I going to be going, we're going to be changing up one Sandy's got the right answer. So there's both in which direction am I going like right or left when I read
It seems the general consensus is left or right.
Or left I
Left.
Okay, it depends how many drinks you need right
So we're gonna be we're gonna be reading this from right
To left. So we're going to go left. Mm hmm. So let's grab our next year. So I don't fast in this urine off. Okay, and what I wanted to do on the very last ditch.
I want you to undo it. I know what am I doing. So what I want you to do is do it again. The backup only
And watch what I do, I'm going to pull through. Instead of finishing it. I want to take the other yarn have put a slip knot on that other yarn and when I go to finish that stitch. I want to use the new color and that will get ready for the next row. And that also releases the gray.
The yarn colors will always change on the same same way
Okay, so on the last stitch. Okay, instead of finishing it all the way you have the two loops on the hook just put the, the new yarn on
And pull through to finish that stitch and therefore the new color will be ready to go. And the greatest just out of the way and you'll use that again in the future. So no cut yarns.
Normal when changing color that's what Bob says that's the right answer. I honestly when I like changing color. I like to snippet in weave it in and
That's just me. So let's review. Number two, how many single crochet is in a row.
Far
If somebody says a different number. I'm telling you.
So here's the trick with this particular one, this is what's going to bend your mind. Okay. This is what my biggest hang up was, why is there chain to if you're only skipping over one stitch.
That says for the chain to wire we skipping. Why are we changing too, but only skipping one stitch and not for the height, one for each side. Nope.
Cheryl says give me a drink to get past the space.
Oh patterns. That's flesh. Whoever did that. I mean, it's because what if you only chain one, when this goes down. This will pop out in front. If you change to it'll cause it to ball behind the project so that the new stitch that comes down will sit flush.
Is to give room is to lay flat. Okay, so what is your mind. Oh, that's not a right word. I should be using. I was gonna say mind.
So you fill in the blanks. So what's going to mess up your mind is that when you ever you skipped one stitch you're going to chain to that is, like, such as a crow share that is so
That is so hard to get into your head. So let's begin. Rule number two, and then we'll just take it step by step. So we're going to chain up one because Beth said so and I been confirmed.
And what I would do, because this is the first time using this color yarn. I would like lay down that yarn and trap it underneath, because nobody likes sewing, my friends, nobody. If they do.
Yeah, so we change one and then we're going to single crochet in the first four stitches.
Okay.
So we're just going to go in the first four go right up over top of that chain and buried underneath.
And you're going to go for. And then we're going to skip to right
So, Bev says I was having the problems with doing the two for one space but logical so you chained to skip only one stitch and then how many stitches in a row, am I going to do with the single crochet after the jump.
3468, who do we appreciate its three and then we're going to chain. How many
Two. And we're going to skip. How many
One. That's right.
And then we're going to do, how many in a row.
Five. So if you look here to repeat pattern is right here. The 10 stitches. Remember it was 10 plus 14 so once you get beyond a certain point, you're going to keep repeating over and over and over again.
So you will keep repeating that you have five here, then three, and because this is an edge. Don't worry about it. You'll be back to five and then three and then five and then three
Oh my hand was in front of the pattern.
Okay. Do you see that
The repeaters right here it's five and three and you ignore this until you go right to the end of the the edge of the blanket.
OK. So the repeat
Right is five and three, five and three, five and three, and where these came down, guess what that is.
That's your chain to space at your chain to with the chain one space. And when you turn it around, you will see that spaces right there.
Oh, I think Patricia just got something so
Yes.
I got it now.
See, it's the space right there.
So you're going into the stitches and not in the back loop that's right we're going into the real stitches.
So this one. If I did three. Now this is five.
I like what people finally get it. They just like, Oh, I get it.
So then I change you. And then how many if I just did five what's I skipped one and then I do, how many
Three. That's right.
And then chain to. And then how many do I do
So the back loop idea. Okay. What you don't know one of the designers finance operations is making this really incredible Shaw that does use the back loops and
It is. It's amazing. So this is that, so eventually you'll come close to the edge.
Okay, so I have my five and then I changed to skip one and then I do my three
And then I chain.
To and it states here that I should have for leftover Guess who does not have for leftover
Me. I don't know why. So I'm going to fake it.
This is the fun thing of live camera Patricia was asked me if I get nervous. I said no i just i just faked up. So Beth says I screwed up already. And you have no idea.
So I'm going to do, I'm going to do three. I'm going to do for Nia I just slammed it in there, because who cares and
So, something happened on my channel was you know what that was. You remember when Patricia was asked me a question as I was counting
My fault. Yeah, totally.
You know better to. Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah so fake. Its fake it baby fake. I was is GD break it baby fake it. So what we want to do then is that we want to use the same color going back so this side here is the only time we're changing colors. So we're going to return back
Number. I said, when you go across. You're doing the same thing coming back. So the same thing coming back, is that you match stitches to stitch chain, the chain. So if you see for
For chain two and then three you match exactly. So the one way that we have to think about it the other way. We don't. So to go back the other way.
Is that we just chain up one and we put in the for single crochet is right in the beginning. And what I want to do is I want to use my fingertips to feel the holes.
The thing you're not seeing my face right now. It's okay. So chain to skip. So I like to put my finger in the whole escape that fall. So I changed to and I'm using my fingertips to feel the holes.
So if you can use your fingertips to feel the holes. It'll be a clue that you got to do something. Oh, you can't see me. Oh.
I can see you.
Oh god.
Okay, so. So what I'm doing is I'm matching stitch just it space to space.
I would have to frog.
So yeah, see this. They put anybody behind the camera. That's the reality.
This is so much easier than the other types of bones x. So I'm matching. So, the one way I have to think. The other way I can sit back and enjoy the ride and I'm using my fingertips to feel where the holes are
This yarn makes it hard to see the stitches. Yeah. You know, it's one of those things there. I've been crushing so long that
I know where my whole, sir.
Oh, you can see my face.
I know where my holes are. I can feel where those folks are anybody can feel where the holes are and I can't be the only one that knows where the holes are
So I'm puzzled that first looking at the mosaics. But then I saw. Yeah. So there's different ways to do it. The mosaics. And so this way I matching. So what am I going to do my very last ditch.
If you look at the diagram. It looks like we have to change color right which we do so on the last one before you finish the last one drop that color tighten up your blue or your gray and pull through
Okay, you need to go tight right at this point.
Okay, and then you turn
So right where you did those chain spaces is where you're going to do the drop down. So if you remember when I explained to you when how they do these diagrams of dropping down. We've left space now that we can drop down
So going back now to the diagram. We've now officially done the setup rows right here.
So now we're officially going to start road number one through 12 we're not going to do one through 12 tier today because I only have so much time, but we will have a full tutorial available for you at another
Coming up so rule number one, you will notice is that because it's going to be shaping out the space location changed. So how many single crochet is other first
Three. That's right. Then we change to and we have to skip over this single crochet and double crochet Reagan to this.
Pitch on the front side, we don't go up over top of those stitches like and trapping them inside the stitch we go directly in front of those. And then the next three are single crochet so 123 drop down
Chain to skip the first one and just do the three mosaic works in an odd number. Just remember that, see how there was five here.
Other three you will notice that make needs that odd number.
Okay, so let's try and do our very first row. So this is road. Number one, so you would have to come back and do this. And so we chain one and single crochet. How many in a row.
So okay, so the answer is three. So in my head. You know, my little pea brain of mine. I always say okay I got three I chained to and then I I kind of do a dance and in my head and I drop
So I'll Cheryl says goodbye. So, and then they drop. And when I drop down. I want to pick up that space ditch and stay right in the front.
And double crochet and that lays up over top of the stitch so I can see that I created a space for next time. But I've dropped down and then how many in a row after that.
It was three. So using your fingers. You can feel the spaces and in the next three stitches. I'm just looking at the pattern you're going to put in a single crochet
Watch where you drop. So I'm using my fingers. So the first one is going to go in 123
And then we drop
Down.
And then we change to to create a space.
And then we skip the first single crochet and go to the second for the next one.
And it will look like that.
Is the drop down in setup road number two. Yes, that's exactly where you're going. That's a great question.
So, okay. So, and says goodbye. Okay. Could you do the drop in slow mo. So here we go.
Stacy knows exactly where I'm going with this one from Michael's so let's do this in slow mo. Okay, so we have to drop in this step here. All right. Ready.
I first take the stage and rotated around my hook for a double crochet
I then stick my hook in front of the project and going to both loose.
Right there, stay in front of the project, yarn over and pull through
And then you are rippled through and then yarn over, both through and it was a double crochet
Is that good. And then you're going to chain to
Because that's what it says.
And you're going to skip the first single crochet out to use your fingers and feel for it and you're going to single crochet in the next. How many
So I will do the drop down again.
So there will be three in a row.
Okay, so consider this one set. So when you look at the project is easier for you to see. See how this is one sec. One sec. One sec, one, one. If you look at them in pairs, like this, it's easier. So you just have your first pair done
So God says, okay, so it's almost like a front post double a crochet
Yeah, it's kind of, but it's actually using the stitch going into the stitches stuff. That's a great question. Sorry.
Okay, so let's try again. So we're going to create a space so chain two and then here comes to drop down. Okay, so we're going to skip the first one and go for the drop so
Okay, I'm going to do a bionic okay
Was that
Great. Sound Effects
Do you know the bionic man Patricia. Oh my god.
Oh my god.
If you guys know what that is or it could send me a link, put it. Oh.
My god, it was the million
It's the Million Dollar Man and the bionic woman.
Oh, man.
There were two different TV shows. Oh my god. Okay.
All the $6 million man. Excuse me. He was worth five more minutes.
Steve Austin. What was biotic woman's name.
Anybody remember her name.
Oh my guys
Jamie or Linda
Well, cats that it's from the 70s.
What just colored Karen, I don't
Okay, Jamie. There we go. Okay, so let's get back on track. So we have to have a little bit of fun once in a while. So we're just going to single crochet the next three
So the chain to is before the DC it dip it depends which set. You're on. So, for example, the chain, the chain to is after this DC, but it's before this one. Look at these as an asset like a pair
Did Farrah Fawcett play the bionic woman.
Teresa says Jamie summers.
Jamie's yeah I didn't think it was fair
A lot of no's.
Honestly, that was
That was before my time I saw it on reruns
That's kind of
Now,
Okay. So then we'll just keep on moving across
So, Carolyn is asking how many single Cruces in the fifth single crossing
Or LLC.
So simple to say. So here's the secret, it's all going to be threes 3333. So how many do you see
Sorry.
Oh, Patricia you're that good cutest thing ever.
I'm glad I'm making you laugh so
Oh my god. So it's three
So if you do more than three single crush as you're going to get your hand slapped okay so it just three
Right, so it's just three. You just got to remember that everything's in sets of two like an a pair. So it's either the chain to is before the double or chain to is after when it's in a pair
If you recall that
Somebody had to ask Siri, who the bionic woman was
Recording
She could have. Yeah, she could have used Siri. The Bionic Woman So there we go.
Thank you for saying that Tanya.
Okay, so we're just going there.
So we're just going to work our way all the way across. I hope you're having fun at home, it's a it's a Saturday. I'm thinking, I want to drink after this. So who wants to go out for drinks. We usually do.
We usually do pub night here, Patricia. We do a stitch night and yeah we do a stitch night and then we go to the pub.
Sounds wonderful
It is wonderful.
Sally wants to know is this technique also called brioche crocheting
I don't think so brioche is
Meeting.
Yeah you want you can do create a Tunisian I taught that in the last ship.
I don't think it's brioche but I'm not going to say it's not because I don't know much
Genie, is it is this isn't considered. No, I don't think so. Some people call it interlocking which is really kind of confusing.
I've heard that term.
Can you post the pattern to get Patricia
I sure well
Okay. So at the very end. How many single crocheted do you end up with
Three.
I do that for three. Some people do. I can't. God knows I can't manipulate my fingers very well, but
She's got this sign. That's crazy. So okay, so when we go back on. Rule number two we follow exactly what we did. So whenever there's a change to space we change to it and
What we have to concentrate on when you did a double drop down. You just got to make sure it has a single over it, so just watch those chain two spaces like that. So you're just going to turn your work.
Chain one and you're just going to match stitch to stitch chain, the chain.
And the ones that you will miss if you're going to miss anything, is that there is a stitch right here, but it's not so obvious because it's the double crochet and it's laying in front
Make sure you change you to jump the space. So use your fingertips to feel the space and then single into
The drop down
So how many single crocheted was there in a row.
Are you supposed to carry the yarn on the rose. So the yarn has been left behind.
So we're Clean, clean lines across and when we go to switch back to Burgundy, we will be on the new yarn.
So you're definitely going to practice with new yarn. Honestly, I did value yarn. First, I wouldn't say that I'm an expert but I found it was a lot easier.
To do this concept like that. So the yarn is only carried on the one side, Beth is just, you know, Patricia. That was just such a great job here.
She is
She should be doing my job.
I was gonna say that, but no.
Well hey
You have your invisible crochet hook. Yes. Yeah, so
So anyway, I find this yarn just such a great job in the mosaic. It's so comfortable to feel you just got to squint for the stitches, once you get started but and get
It's really quite wonderful.
So I'm so I'm not really thinking much I just mattering stitch the stitch chain, the chain.
So I will create a full tutorial for you on The Crochet Crowd I'll share that over with your inspirations as well. Once we're ready.
Will probably give it to Michael's to and we'll do that. So the very last ditch, we need to change it back. So whenever you see these tales that means that you're done that color and now you're going to pick up the new color.
Now, the thing that I was driving me nuts with all week was that once you start playing with the secondary color. The way it drops down creates the pattern.
And so it has to be thought about in advance. So let's go on to number three. So it was great. So it's going to be changing up one and whoa, what's this chain three boat.
It's because we're going to have to drop downs in a row. Next time we're going to do the drop. So whenever you're skipping over two chains. You're changing three
Are skipping over two stitches, you're trading three. So you're always adding an extra chain to the skip. So if you're skipping over to its chain three.
Okay, so let's try. So we're going to chain up one and we'll do one single crochet
And then we are going to change three so 123 and then we're going to draw. Okay, so we're going to
Drop. So you pick up where that space was
So let's get you closer so right when you drop, you're going to drop there and then double crush a backup.
Have your chain three, our chain three.
There, which is skipping over to and then in the pattern. How many single crushes in a road after the drop
Five.
In depth. Got it. Was she is a super starch anymore superstars here.
Who's a superstar.
temerity to an Rosa.
So okay, so now you're going to drop. So you got five in a row and then draw
Okay, and then you create the space to chain.
This time it's gonna be changing for us. So 123
And four
And then draw
So why is there a chaining for now.
Because if you look at the pattern. There's going to be three drops that come down.
This here.
Where we're dropping is going to create these big square patches in the middle. So what you're skipping over. See how it follows up. The next one is going to cover right up over the top about
It. I'm kind of like a hot mess.
That's not me. That's Marion just saying
I'm a hot mess to purchase. Are you a hot mess on a Saturday.
Always
So it keeps kicking me out. So what we're going to do for you folks where we're going to do is we're going to provide a tutorial for you.
I had to film it, but I have to wait for the finished a PDF to be done with the corrections and what we can do is that I can show you at your own speed on with that. So, can you please answer that. What's the question, what was the question.
Tear Kesha, what is the can we use other yarn. Yes, you can use other yarn. Absolutely. You can use your super values, anything that you would like to use.
This just looks amazing. Your velvet. That's why they suggested it but you can use any other gardens, because as I showed at the top of the class.
This here is Karen one pound, just like you see. So it does look that the neat thing about this is that because we're operates colors don't bleed through
In the sense that you don't really see the gray when it, when it jumps on over. So it's a nice solid of thick fabric. Once you're done with that makes any sense.
Yeah. So do we have any final questions for today's workshop today. Again, we will have this filmed up for Trish. Any questions.
I'm just wanted to mention that the class is also being recorded and will be available at Michael's dot com slash classes starting on Tuesday.
Yes, yes.
So, so we'll have that link. So we'll get that for you. Also Michaels.
YouTube is also recording this as well, so you'll be able to follow it your own speed. I'm going to film the tutorial for this so you can obviously go at your own speed and because so many people are going at different speeds, it's everybody's a hot mess. Okay, it's just not you so
It's really hard to actually film these kind of things because we have people coming and going and coming and going. And so everybody can move at your own speed. So will I be teaching. Again, I have no idea. Patricia. Do you know if I'm teaching again.
I am not sure. Stay tuned. This is
I have no idea. I think I have one month. Don't know what my next pattern is going to be, but we hope that you've enjoyed this and
Michael's has a survey that comes out in if you like the sick humor and kind of like the fun nonchalant kind of teaching. I'm your guy broadcasts and hear from Canada. It has been a pleasure to be able to show you a little bit of tricks and tips, tricks and tips and

Tutorials for beginners as well we can teach beginners but honey, I make beginners cry.
I did my first. I know that that
That is so. Oh, Patricia, you never heard about that.
I did my first class workshop in Toronto. I had three criers out of 25 and I felt so badly, but they couldn't even understand that the crochet hook is meant for yarn so I like suggested that they go and try the scrapbooking glass next door, but you know we were, we try
My thing is that I cannot meet you know I can't be certified in Patricia for crochet right so
I cannot. Yeah, I can't because I like people to find their own way. So we give suggestions, but how they hold the hook and how they hold their yarn, I think, is something that is a personal comfort level, right, you find that with knitting. Right.
Yeah. Well Pat saying that she promises to won't cry.
Yeah, big
Big girls don't cry. So I'd be happy to Michael's your inspirations as well myself here at the crusher crowds. Thank you so much for joining me today.
