1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:04,468
- I really like giving myself
and other people permission

2
00:00:04,468 --> 00:00:06,782
to have fun with their crafting.

3
00:00:06,782 --> 00:00:08,305
That's where the color and the food

4
00:00:08,305 --> 00:00:10,500
and toys and critters comes from.

5
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,669
I just think it's that joy you feel

6
00:00:12,669 --> 00:00:14,414
when you're young and having
fun and you just don't care

7
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:16,765
and you don't have to
deal with grown-up stuff.

8
00:00:18,739 --> 00:00:19,699
Hi, I'm Twinkie Chan.

9
00:00:19,699 --> 00:00:22,370
I'm a crochet designer,
author, and blogger.

10
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:25,719
I am known mostly for my
food-themed wearable crochet,

11
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:28,365
such as cupcake hats
and hamburger scarves.

12
00:00:28,365 --> 00:00:30,556
But I thought it was time
to start getting healthy

13
00:00:30,556 --> 00:00:33,412
and make some fun fruits and vegetables.

14
00:00:35,637 --> 00:00:37,289
In this series, you're going to learn

15
00:00:37,289 --> 00:00:40,950
a handful of basic crochet
techniques such as magic circle,

16
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:43,646
single crochet, and
increasing and decreasing.

17
00:00:43,646 --> 00:00:45,521
We'll also cover color changes,

18
00:00:45,521 --> 00:00:48,042
surface techniques, and seaming.

19
00:00:48,042 --> 00:00:49,601
I have fun with these projects

20
00:00:49,601 --> 00:00:51,368
because a lot of them
work up in about an hour

21
00:00:51,368 --> 00:00:53,198
and you can use your own favorite colors

22
00:00:53,198 --> 00:00:55,689
to customize your own collection.

23
00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:57,950
Before you know it, you'll
have a delicious array

24
00:00:57,950 --> 00:01:00,030
of fruits and vegetables
for a fun play food set

25
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:02,456
or a beautiful decoration in your home.

26
00:01:02,456 --> 00:01:05,870
Or, if you're more adventurous,
you can even wear them.

27
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:07,075
Keep coming back throughout the series,

28
00:01:07,075 --> 00:01:08,352
because with each fruit and veggie

29
00:01:08,352 --> 00:01:10,992
you'll get some behind-the-scenes
moments with me.

30
00:01:12,634 --> 00:01:16,209
Strawberries are like the
best part of the fruit salad.

31
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,962
So yes, I do eat them often.

32
00:01:17,962 --> 00:01:20,533
I'm a lazy person, I'm
not making lemonade.

33
00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:22,585
I eat soup out of the can, you know that.

34
00:01:22,585 --> 00:01:24,480
(laughs)

35
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,469
Now everyone knows that.

36
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:28,670
You know what they say
about an apple a day.

37
00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:33,350
(light music)
