Just found this on accident and YOU ARE MY HERO! again! Ps I love your videos. I tell EVERYONE that they need to look you up if they want to learn to crochet.

You have no idea how much I love the virus pattern, and afghans are my most favorite things to make! Squeeee! Thank you!

[soniasmith]

Am working on this now, and the more it takes shape with your wonderful guidance the more excited I get about the finished blanket. Thank you.

I was surfing through the several tutorial videos on crocheting when I came upon yours. I listened to one of your videos patiently and realised you are very thorough in your teachings. Your voice is very calming and not at all intimidating. I rewound this video and by this time, I felt confident I can try to crochet this pattern. Thank you for having the patience to make us/me understand this new adventure of mine. By the way, just so you know, Bag-o-Day crochet and I gave you a shoutout today during her live chat today. I speak highly of the both of you to my friends. Remain Blessed and be safe.🙏🏾👋

[jennellwarczinsky]

So excited to try this pattern. I’m also happy to see someone else holds their crochet hook like I do! Thank you for sharing.

[fionacadwallader]

Outstanding... love this pattern. I now have another project on my to do list. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials I find it hard to understand written patterns but watching and learning from you has really made me fall in love with crocheting all over again x

[mexicallired]

So happy I found you. After 60+ years you have taken me out of my comfort zone into new possibilities. Starting my second one today. Thank you again!!

I hope you are keeping safe at this worrying time.

Wow, wow, wow, there are not enough words to describe how beautiful this is....

[josielovehart]

Oh dear. I am about to start sewing in my ends from your waffle square blanket, which turned out amazing. Now I know I am going to put off the ends to try this out 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ you spoil us ❤

I watch a ton of crochet creators, but I keep returning to yours. My first large project was your neptune circular blanket using a Caron anniversary cake. I finished it up as a gift to my hubby and found he didn't like it as a circle, wanted a rectangle instead, LOL... So, I watched a ton of granny square tutorials to figure out how they transform circles into squares, did the math for my 324 stitch circle and transformed it to a square then added rows at each end and finished with a border. He's now happy, LOL. This, will be my next project. I'll have many this year. Each family member will be getting a throw/afghan/blanket, each of a different design - that's 11, yes, 11. I'd better get to work. I'll need to average one every 3 weeks to complete them on time for Christmas.

I’m fairly new to this and I’m always on the lookout for people online that I can learn from, that I can tell have a passion for not only crochet, but for sharing their passion with the world. The people who are so generous with their amazing designs and are so incredibly kind and willing to spend their time teaching and encouraging beginners!!! I recently found your channel and I can tell pretty instantly that you are definitely one of these people! I already love your personality! Your designs are absolutely stunning! I don’t think I will ever ever be able to design my own work. I just don’t have that beautiful mind it must take! It’s a true gift! I can’t wait to try one of your patterns! I love this one and I just watched some of the lost souls blanket and ohhh I’m so excited!!! Thank you for all sharing your beautiful designs with us and spend so much time teaching us!!!! I so appreciate it, especially because I’m basically learning how to crochet by watching these type of videos. My Grandma did teach me some of the basics, enough to make an Afghan and a baby blanket and some wash clothes. And many many years ( maybe even a decade😳)passed without picking up a single hook, until just this February and I’ve had to relearn the basic and star to take on projects I never would imagine I could do!!
