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.

  • @longmontcommunitycrochetguild

    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.

    • @KJ-jv9dz
      @KJ-jv9dz 8 місяців тому

      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.

    • @leonardodavinci4259
      @leonardodavinci4259 8 місяців тому

      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.
