I've been waiting forever for you to post a tutorial for these cause I just couldn't wrap my head around them! Thank you thank you thank you so much, I think I'll finally try this technique and not be intimidated! Your explanations are always so clear and concise!

Thank you! You are such a clear and effective communicator, you’ve been a great crochet teacher to me as I recently decided to start again after being a beginner crocheter in my teens. If I had you then, I would be a pro by now lol

This is weird, I was just thinking about this yesterday, about doing a row while chain, and here you are, this just popped up in my feed today. I didn't even know such a thing was possible. I'll be giving this a try. Thank you.

Thank you for making it very clear that you have to work in the bottom chain when creating the new stitch. This was where I was going wrong.

Hi Sarah-Jayne. This tutorial is great. At the end, you say that if we want to learn another technique, you point to a video which will explain another technique. The problem is that the video which you point to demonstrates straight edges. I would love to see this other technique. Could you please advise. Many thanks. ❤

Thank you. I wish I could get my foundation chains that straight!!! Mine curve up like a smile.

I’m already thinking this is a crazy question but then again this is so amazing - and thank you for explaining it so well. Anyway, do you think this would in anyway work for a pattern that has the chain base then the next row - dc - chain 1 (skipping a foundation chain) - dc etc.? In other words, a mesh pattern. I’ve been making shrugs for my daughter and this would be so much nicer than just a chain base. Thank you.

Excellent. Love ❤ your tutorials. I will save this for future use.

[doreenulrich]

Perfect. Thank you for posting this.
I don’t make these as often as I probably should, so I usually forget an important detail in the process. 😆
