One of my favourite hoopers on YouTube is wantonamara, she has a really unique style.
Here's one of her mini videos :)

Thanks so much! She's totally amazing. Are you able to learn the tricks just by watching her? I feel like I need someone to explain them to me. @_@

Yeah I usually just learn from watching videos. Obviously it's loads easier from tutorials, but I think when you start getting to stuff like minis, doubles and more generally more advanced stuff, it's quite hard to find good tutorials :( Have you found any good tutorials yet?

Anyone else have any tutorials they like? I think I need instruction. I can't learn by osmosis! LOL!

Hi Shelley,  I posted a tutorial on twin turns on my website.  If you click on the link below, it will take you to the video.  The first link is the Home page.  Scroll down to the second post and click on Twins Turns Part 1.

The second link will take you to the page where the video is.  I hope it is ok with you - I put your name on the video.  Let me know if you want me to remove it.

Thank you!! I'm off to bed now, but I will look at them tomorrow and practice!  I was too busy learning to knit today.  I didn't even pick up a hoop! Will report back tomorrow after I try them.

The link to the second video is below.  It is Twins Turns Part 2.  I tried to make the tutorials so the instructions would be repeated so you wouldn't have to keep rewinding to see things again.

I will keep adding more tutorials on turns.

Thank you!  I've been really busy the last couple of days, so I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I did watch a bit of it this morning.  I don't mind that you used my name at all!  I'm honored that you took the time to make a video to help me along!  I'll come back (hopefully by tomorrow) and let you know how I did working with your instructions!

I have twins tutorials on my website.  I am starting a series on turns with twins. The first two videos will be posted tonight.  If you have any specific requests for moves, let me know and I will make free tutorials for you.

Okay, I just viewed the first tutorial on turns.  Awesome! I already had a good handle on the turns with the hoops going forward, but I had been struggling with turning with the hoops going backwards. Your video is helping!  I'm going to work on perfecting it before moving on to the next vid in the series. I really, really appreciate you making these for me!  BTW, is there a way to watch the vids on your site in full screen?  I'd like to see you bigger!  LOL!  Thank you so much!  I told my husband, "Look, PT made these videos just for me!!!"  LOL!  Although they will be extremely helpful to many.  As you can see, there is a series shortage of mini tutorials out there.  Happy Holidays!

I just posted Part 3 of my tutorial series on Twin Turns.  Click to go to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Part 1 is basic turns while spinning.  Part 2 is more advanced turns while spinning.  Part 3 is turns while spinning each hoop in a different direction.  Part 4 will be combinations of weaves, spinning, and turns.  Hope this helps everyone.  Shelley had requested this series.

Thank you!  Spinning with the hoops going in different directions?  My brain is on overload just thinking about it!  LOL!
