Your class, e-book, and videos are phenomenal! I was overwhelmed and spinning my wheels until I found you. Now I feel that I have a direction and that I can do this! Thank you!

I started learning Crochet about a week ago. There were no problem with foundation chains. But single crochet was such a pain for me because one stich was always missing and I couldn't find out what I did wrong. I searched for a lot of tutorial videos but no luck. But yes, this video just helped me a lot and I'm now able to find out the problem especially because of the thing you said at 7:20. So thank you so so much. 😭🫶🏻

I have been trying to learn how to crochet for YEARS and never got the hang of it. I'm a knitter so I would just give up and go back to my knitting. Thanks to your video I now have a beautiful granny square! Thank you so much!

I’m teaching my 7 year old granddaughter & these are helping sooo much. Blessings 💜

I am so grateful to this course. I have followed so many tutorials and this is the first one that finally made me able to create a piece of crochet out of a single chain after half a year of trying.Thank you so much!

[michelleholden]

I’ve just started to learn with you and after a few days of getting extremely frustrated trying to hold my yarn, I have now finally found my way so am starting over! I struggle a bit with my coordination so I’m super happy I’ve finally found a way to hold it so I can continue!! And I’m also using a larger hook than I should just for the minute so I can see some progress and today it’s really helped 😅. Onwards and forwards, practice, practice and more practice 😊

As I said before, I never really learnt how to crochet I just saw it and decided to try to do it and I was able to amaze myself over the years. I saw this as an opportunity to finally figure out what I was doing wrong over the years and how to do it right and I am enjoying it. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to being able to make myself a sweater.

Thank you for these videos. I was able to do the single crochet stitch in one day.
As I started I was focusing too much on the thread tension and literally cried. But then I decided to worry about that later and let the thread loose and focused only on mastering the stitch and my swatch came out beautiful. Thank you.

I have been crocheting for about 52 years, but I think that you can always learn something new. As such, I signed up and have been viewing your videos. And with this video, it hit me that I am always starting my first row on the starting chain by picking up TWO loops of the chain, not just ONE, as you do! Boiyoiyoing! That makes sense to me now. I always was thinking your starting row would be more sturdy with two, but it can also affect the finished project, like a blanket, when you do your border! Thanks for turning on my light bulb!!

[larkxjj]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video is by far the most helpful video on YouTube, thank you again!!!

[eumope]

Thank you for this tutorial! I've been trying to learn for so long but always gave up in frustration. you're the only one that gives a very detailed explanation and visual guidance!

[HeyPrettyCurls]

Just started my crochet journey and your videos are gold. Thank you thank you thank you

[thenayalife]

Thank you, you helped me learn how to single crochet!🩷

[chezarctica]

Thanks for showing a clear demonstration of how to count single crochet rows! I watched a handful of videos to figure this out and yours was the easiest to follow 🙏

[KarenEaton-ft]

Thank you so much for posting a wonderful instructional tutorial. I have been struggling, giving up, trying, and giving up again. I stumbled across your beginner's class and WOW! I love my first swatch. It's not perfect, but it's so much better than any previous try.

[SandyBarnes-hz]

Thank you! Really enjoying your Master class videos. Very helpful!

[starcooper]

I like the way you speak to us. Its like you understand we get frustrated and start feeling that we will never get the hang of it.

[neetakumar]

I love your video. I'm a complete novice to crotching and am finding your tutorial to be a god send. I have always admired crotchers and now hopefully will also be able to crochet. Your video is very detailed. I especially like the way you show us where to insert the crotchers hook into the next stitch because I had no idea how to do that. Thanks a lot for your different stitches ie single crotchety and the next video on double crotchet. Love it ❤❤

[coventryartscollective]

Oh my 1st attempt looked like a pizza. Pulled out and started again.., thanks for doing this 🔥😎🤩 I adore your patience

[tracyallan]

I have finished my swatch and was going to give it to my mam as she's wanted me to crochet for years but as it's a bit holey and wonky I'm keeping it and going make her (hopefully) a square!
