Holy moly! What a fantastic deep dive into the architecture and structure of crochet! This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me love the fibre arts, and empowers me to better understand what's happening, how to do it well, and how to feel better able to design my own work. THANK YOU!

Your tour of the single crochet stitch is inspired! I’ve been crocheting for Decades and never understood the crochet stitch before this. Thank You

[shymaabehais]

The best tutorial ever... I like your explanation of the stitch anatomy much and that's what make it clear and easy beeesy

[mschonher]

You went above and beyond any other videos I have watched on making cords and I have watched and tried many of them. This is the best lesson so far. Clear and concise. Thank you so much for the detailed information on making 4 different items. Please ignore the person who complained. There is no excuse for such rudeness.

This is fabulous! I struggled for an hour last night trying to do a spiral cord and was going to break down the anatomy of the stitches this morning to see if I could figure it out. You did it for me so clearly that with this video, a good nights sleep, bright sunshine and my coffee I have renewed confidence. Bonus, I have other options too. Much gratitude to you ✌️

You are a savior! Thank you! I struggled to learn the third and fourth cord styles, but your explanation and demonstration cleared up my confusion.

This is SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!

I have been struggling to identify and find the "third loop" or "horizontal bar" for single crochets for SO LONG. I just lose it every time. This entire week I've had to remind myself to give tutorial makers grace because not everyone can approach things scientifically. Well, you are a stand out, and I am saving this video forever.

The MOST HELPFUL VIDEO!!! Cords are my nemeses, but you broke them each down perfectly. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much from Africa for all your detailed information and the wonderful explanation ! You are the best teacher!

[patricelovell]

This is the best, best, best video for cords. Everyone should have this in their "how to" crochet library. It
was truly a labor of love. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your expertise.

[lourdesespinas]

Thank you for explaining everything. From the anatomy of the single crochet to how the cords are done. Best tutorial ever. You are the best.

[marysimpson-sq]

This was by far the best video I watched to learn how to make cords. Showing the "anatomy" of the stitches was brilliant. Thank you so much for that. I enjoyed making a lanyard with the 3rd type.

[JoyDelaPena-ooov]

Exceptional tutorial i have been watching so far. You are the best in engineering methodology. Great job. Salute on you. Keep going and God Bless You.

[jenniferjones]

Thank you very much. Watched your video really to understand the spiral one. Had tried a few times and could not get the hang of it. You really explain it well and will now go and do it - I hope!

[maryammirza]

I have been following some tutorials on the YouTube since long but the basic details that this one gives are exceptional. I can safely say that this tutorial added to my basic knowledge . Thanks for the guidance

[denise]

Wow! Very informative. I am new to crochet and the education on the anatomy of a crochet stitch will be invaluable for my growth moving forward, I'm sure. The cords are great too. Your instruction is so detailed I feel I can determine which cord type is appropriate for which project. Thank you so very much!

[paulamann]

Excellent Teacher! Excellent Tutorial! Thank you for the long-sought, much-needed clarification and analyses of the stitches and cords! Paula in Seattle in September 2021!

[moniqueholford]

Thank you for posting this with the explanation of how the stich is formed and the different parts of the stick. Excellent!😀
