It’s so refreshing seeing a black crocheter that I can look up to and follow tutorials from!! Thanks for your thorough tutorials!

I have been crocheting on and off for 5 years now. I only found your tutorials today after searching for some ideas. If only I found you earlier. You are by far the very best I've ever seen. You are an absolute super star. Sending you much love and appreciation from 🇦🇺. Thank you

I literally just ran across your YouTube by accident. It's funny that you say I must be a new crocheter. Truth be told, I have been yarning since I was 5 years old - we won't talk about how many years that is😊. But I wanted to reach out to say that you showed me things I didn't know! We -newbies and vets- can all learn new things and share with each other. I love going back to basics and creating what looks complicated when in fact it's a beginner stitch. I love crocheting. Probably because my grandmother taught me, and she's passed. When I crochet, I feel closer to her. Anyway, didn't mean to write a novel...lol ... I just wanted you to know that your sharing of your craft benefits us ALL! So glad I found you. I'm "HOOKED"!😊

Nope I'm just here because I love you. Lol. I have covid and I need relaxing soothing calming content. Thank you. 💕💕

[sarahkrick]

You absolutely win the award got best teacher! Here's why: I can see everything you're doing, you explain very clearly and calmly, you're encouraging, your voice is lovely to listen to, your hands are beautiful too! Thank you so much!!!

I had been taught that the Alpine stitch is done with front post double-crochets. While I loved the look, I always struggled keeping the stitches even. Making it a treble-crochet solves that. I'm so happy to learn this.

[helennicoleflores]

I love you!! I would LOVE yo sit and have a coffee/crochet sesh with you, I cannot comprehend anyone else's (just about anyone else anyway) explanations. Thank you so much for making easy to follow videos!!

The way you describe the shell stitch it way more concise than any other tutorial I've come across! I always come back to it when I forget how to do the stitch! Thank you!

[ruthsamons]

Best tutorial I have seen! Back in 1978 I did the Ripple pattern to make an Afghan for my wedding!

[annmariearmstrong]

Ilove that you had more than one stitch in your tutorial. Thanks!!!

[Karedavi]

When I retired I began learning to crochet prayer shawls and blankets for friends/family and for my church. Your videos are the best! Your calm demeanor and voice helped me to learn the information without getting confused or frustrated. Thank your for imparting your talent and expertise.

[vonniegarman]

I am fairly new at crochet, I knew the basic stitches from an aunt when I was a child . I have wanted to learn the wave stitch for so long the way you explained it made it so easy for me. Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks.

[abigailyohman]

I'm a veteran amigurumi maker but not much of a cloth/ clothing/ blanket stitcher! I love these stitches and can't wait to try these put

[ChanelAthena]

I was literally just thinking that I wanted to learn to do more stitches (I just started so I know like...2) and you show up like the hero you are lol. Thanks Toni!!!

[Miqella]

Thank you Toni. You have helped me create so many wonderful and useful items. Here's to the very best crochet teacher ever.

[rosemarieconner]

[savannahcruthers]

[misslillie]
