My name is Sandy Marie. On June 1st, 2018 I turned 62 (I've been crocheting for 52 years). At this point in my life I decided it was time to follow my heart and my passion. Basically, that is creating Fiber Art.
My focus is on all types of colorwork crochet. The first group of videos on this Channel are the ‘base’ tips and techniques needed to step into this adventure. I’ll also include reviews on equipment, tools and materials needed.
From there I create design graphs meant to inspire the artist in everyone, flower graphs (because I love flowers), unique patterns and many things that are just fun, but also meant to hone Fiber Art skills.
I deeply appreciate your interest.
MAKE it an AWESOME Day.

Take Great Pictures To Create Graph Patterns Crescent Beach, FL
I’m in Florida helping a friend move to New Mexico.
** SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES **
Colorwork Crochet refers to Fair Isle (Stranded Crochet), Intarsia Crochet, and Tapestry Crochet.
In this video I’ve taken you to the Ocean, Crescent Beach in Florida. I’m sharing tips to take great pictures for creating graph patterns. Colorwork Crochet depends on Graph Patterns. Beautiful, ORIGINAL Graph Patterns depend on great photography.
Step 1: Getting your camera or smartphone out of Automatic mode. I share how I learn to use a new piece of equipment and the settings on it. Basically you learn one setting at a time instead of overwhelming yourself with all of them.
Step 2: Basic outside lighting. This is actually sunshine, but direct sunlight is too intense and will wash out color, so I share a few shading tips and the photo magic times of each day.
Step 3: The goal is to be able to do colorwork crochet. So your focus needs to be on one subject at a time. This step shares some tips on cleaning your area and setting up your shot.

Crochet Solid Circle, Create a Circle that Holds the Weight
I didn't know that you are the change the color guru, I have been waiting for 45 years. I'm suddenly embarrassed to say that but I thank you too much for it. Because I would make a really pretty amigurumi or what not, and I was so unhappy with the lalaloopy of colors lol.🙏
Your tutorial is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I've watched others and tried their stitches NONE as well explained nor shown as yours tutorial. And thank you for your WONDERFUL paperclip tip to thread our yarn/thread. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us . Take care . Hugs❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just ripped my sweater apart to restart with this tip. I'm so much happier with the results.
😂 you hate to do that but you were so happy to have learned that clean color change, ha! Happy for you
Thank you. I’ve been looking for so long how to hide the jog and this is the best. Unfortunately I didn’t find this video until I started. 😭I’m seriously considering starting over because I want my piece to be perfect and not look amateurish.
Great top tip! I will now try this - thanks so much.
i have only been crocheting for about 6 months, followed lots of tutorials as well as a friend showing me. This tutorial helped clear up a lot of stress i had trying to change colour and join my circle seamlessly in the round. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thank you for saving me!
Where’s the new link for the pdf? 😭😭
I'm so glad I found you! Your teaching technique is perfect! I have been having such a hard time making this basket with color changes. Your video cleared it up for me!
😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
It’s very cute of you
Life saver! Just ripped out hours of work on a yoga mat bag because the pattern was so ugly not lining up and the instructions never explained how to make this right. THANK YOU! Once more into the fray!
Me too!!! Took it all apart.
😂
I appreciate what you do, however, the datk yarn makes it very difficult to see yhe detail.
Thank you so mutch you are very nice
Thank you so much. You went nice and slow. When seaming the sides edges of a dc top does the right sides face each other or the wrong sides face each other. Thanks so much
You ROCK 🎸!!, THX
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the very detailed sharing, as a beginner, it help so much ❤
AWESOME THANK YOU
Vary helpful for me. Thanks a lot. Give some more useful information.
Finally I found you. This is so helpful and have subscribed instantly. You’re a fantastic teacher and offer so much help for some of us trying to master this craft. Thank you so much and look forward to watching other training videos. I’m looking for one on color changes and Bobbles LOL, I can’t seem to get my colors to NOT show through 😂
These techniques are super helpful! My work looks much better because of you. Thank you so much!!
Hi there...I really enjoyed your thorough video on this topic but...can I ask if you would stop saying "abuse" the stitch...it's a trigger...thanks again...
Hi Me Me! Beautiful socks, lovely colorway and stitch pattern. Lovely happy mail from Edna. Thanks for sharing. Take care.❤️❤️
If you didn’t want to have the l’il bits of white yarn showing through the red areas..is there a way to hide them?
Thanks for the notes copy & paste tip! Life changing!! 😀🩷
I just found you today 2024 and so sad you haven't been making videos in a few years! I pray you are well. I will subscribe and ring the bell for I wouldn't want to miss you coming back on. I do plan on listening to all your videos. Thank you for the videos you have made.
Thank you so much I can have a perfect looking football now without the jag. Great teacher
Thank you so much! This was great and easy to follow 😊
Also amazing video thank you so much x
If I need to turn after doing an invisible join do I still go into the same stitch I slip stitched into?
Definitely! Using it right now!
That was fantastic, Sandy. You blew my mind!
Thank you,you have been very helpful, I’m just starting out, I have been a victim of abuse, and your use of this word does not bother me in the least, I am looking forward to learning more from you in the future. I like the way you take your time to explain, thank you again and have a very happy and save new year
Your video is the first one that pops up when I searched for “crochet circle join.” While your instructions are quite clear, I am absolutely aghast at your description of “abusing” the stitch. What a terrible choice of word. There are so many people in this world who have actually suffered abuse of many kinds. What a shock it must be for them to encounter a seemingly innocent crochet tutorial only to have a reminder of horrific acts just casually thrown into conversation like it’s no big deal. Gross. Not funny at all. I’ll be looking for a different video to share for this technique.
Get over yourself. As someone who has suffered abuse I did not take this educational video as offensive, how about not taking offense on OTHER people's behalf and just don't watch the video if it makes YOU uncomfortable. Or suggest something else nicely. Christ.
It sounds like you're hurting quite a bit. I understand that your anger is coming from a place of empathy towards others, but I think a life in which we surrender our mental well-being to the outside world is a very difficult life to live. I encourage you to try to take accountability over your reactions to what the world say. Because nothing someone says can affect you negatively unless you let it. I don't think Sandy had any ill-intent at all and doesn't deserve those harsh words, especially since she taught us a valuable skill. You could have shared your opinion of the word choice, which is valid, in a kinder way. She's human too.
Love this!! Thank you
Me encanto tu técnica,felicitaciones,te escribo del sur del continente Americano,Chile,un abrazo para ti❤
Omgg a bobby pin as a stitch marker is soo genius
Wow amazing video. I have heard that crochetters do yarn under and not over. For a tighter stiches
Thank you so much for the tutorial! It's very clear and easy to follow. Thanks also for showing full loops and back loops only!
Very clear tutorial. thank you.
👍👍
Thanks for yours video and astuces...❤❤❤ sorry but i don't speak english😅😂
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I remember back in the day when finding the tail end of the yarn was relatively easy but that’s no longer the norm now. By the time I roll a skein into a ball, my hands are tired and I’m frustrated and i no longer want to crochet! Now, thanks to you sharing this video, I won’t have to go through all that nonsense anymore. 😊
Absolutely Fantastic Tutorial!!!! So Very We’ll Explsined!!! Thanks for sharing:).
Hello 🖐️ how are you doing today
Excellent
for me the "seam", that the joins form, is marker enough.
I have been crocheting for 35 years and always hated the color change on the row change I hate how it looks I also don’t like how when you do it that way the starting point for the row moves this keeps it straight thank you so much for this
This is a wonderful technique. Am using it in a Japanese Knot Bag with stripes and I love it - no jogs! Can’t wait to use it in my amigurumi projects. What a game changer. Thank you.
