Play Hooky with Me posted nothing new, but there is unfinished business to tidy up: all those yarn tails left dangling from a colorful crochet project. The channel's busiest video right now, "The Crochet Border That Hides ALL Those Ends! 🤩", tackles them without weaving each one in individually.
The method builds a border on both faces of the fabric, adds height with half double crochet, then joins the layers with single crochet to trap the ends inside. There is a little preparation first: the presenter knots and trims the loose tails. And the final working yarn still needs weaving in, so this is a shortcut through the pile, not an escape from every last end.
"This bit is so satisfying. Just to get all of that mess hidden, oh, heaven," she says as the layers come together. After the finished edge comes a change of supervisor: Tiggy and Biscuit appear around the workspace, while Leroy and Snoopy take a more restful approach.
The tutorial has reached about 91,000 views. Behind it in daily momentum are the Reverse Blanket Stitch's one-row repeat and the chunky Prairie Stitch blanket, which the creator estimates takes a full day's yarn-on-hook time.
Across the channel, daily viewing is close to its usual level, and subscribers grew by about a thousand over the week. Nearby in the crafts group, Clara Threads had a much bigger week, while Tracy Garcia drew a smaller weekly audience. For Play Hooky with Me, the practical finishing lesson is doing useful work even with no fresh project on the schedule.
