I really love the way you cut out the pattern on paper to show how it goes together. A lot of designers take for granted that we beginners can figure out how to put it all together just by reading a pattern! Thank you so much for the patience you show 💗 You are a great teacher. 🧶

I used to crochet as a kid but never took it serious. Now I'm older and it has suddenly became my addiction but there are so many patterns and styles out there that it is difficult to choose what to start from.
Your tutorials are so simple and easy to follow and I love your voice so much ☺️

Thank you so much for another Beautiful Cardigan. I have purchased and crocheted many of your patterns. Every single time I have followed you directions my crochet projects come out perfectly.
Several years ago I crocheted my first wearable sweater, and it came out perfect. I absolutely love your crochet channel. Thank you for giving me the confidence to expand my knowledge of crocheting.
Have a wonderful day

This will be my first crochet cardigan. I usually make crochet stuffed animals and was worried that this would be super difficult but it seems much more easy because of the way you explain everything. Thank you so much for making this!

I'm interested in your older pullover sweaters. I've saved a few to try.
You are doing great for being self taught english and crochet, don't let any negative comments hold you back because you have talent.
