HI Jayda. I just decided I would learn to crochet while in lockdown and out of all the videos I have looked at finally, I have found a channel that I can actually understand and doesn't go to fast. I am going to start with your basics and move on from there. I was looking for a channel that slowed things down. Really like the way you did it on the flat. Thanks a mill.

Hi Jayda, I just picked up some yarn and crochet hooks at the craft shop to learn how to (eventually) do amigurumi. I'm a combat vet and hoping that learning a new craft will help with mental acuity.

But I'm leaving a comment here to tell you that your videos are amazing. I'm a instructional designer, and your style is awesome. Informative, patient, with just a touch of quirky whimsiness. Excellent job, and I'll be using your videos as examples in classes I teach of how to use video in a delightful and educational way.

Jayda, I am showing these videos to a friend of mine that wants to learn to crochet. What would you suggest for 1 or 2 easy to complete projects for a complete beginner? Ty

Hi Jayla, I have been trying desperately to teach myself but because I suffer from MS, my short term memory won't allow me to learn and move on. I'll be good day one but day two, I have to learn it again, I forget and it's made me want to give up. So I thought maybe you can suggest a way to get my coconut {brain} to learn it. My long term memory is not affected, go figure. I REALLY want to learn. Please help. Thanks and have a great day, Magda
