Thank you so much …
Thank you so much for posting this video! I just bought two different crochet instruction books which I spent a long time figuring out, but I still couldn’t get anything going. After watching your video, I am finally able to figure out what the instructions were talking about; it was like “EUREKA!” I certainly hope you will ignore the “critics” and keep on posting more videos.

Please, please, keep up with your work.
Do not take into consideration these people who criticize sth you say or do, do not let that change your way of explaining and taking your time showing the details and so on.
I could only knit until yesterday, but thanks to you, now I can get some crochet done (ok, let me be modest, I believe that this piece of crochet in my hands will become something)
Anyway, just wanted to congratulate your work. Thanks!

Pretty good, the …
Pretty good, the video’s just a little bit fuzzy, so it took me a while to figure out what was what, but the instructions are pleasantly clear. I tried buying Crocheting for Dummies - not nearly as helpful as this (it doesn’t get on to describing making the chain stitches until about 120 pages!). Thanks for posting it.

I know right and I don’t know where the actual chain is and where to stick it in some people said between the to on top but some people just take the one it’s really confusing, knitting is so much easier but you can’t do as much. Keep trying though we’ll get it.

AAArrggh! This is …
AAArrggh! This is hard because I understand the motions of what you’re doing, but my results aren’t coming out the same way. My loops are so tight that I can’t get the hook through them, but the actual stitches are sagging so much that you can see between them.

These are the …
These are the BASICS. I teach assuming the viewer knows NOTHING about yarn or crochet. These things ARE as important as the ABC’s are important to learning to read!
When I write a pattern for publication, I have to leave the details on what yarn is used for the project.

Heh, heh. I spent weeks doing that the first time. The second stitch keeps “coming out” and then “disappearing,” right?
Leave a long tail of extra yarn when you start, and HOLD IT, so that when you turn your hook the stitches don’t turn too. Then you won’t undo your stitch when you crochet.

You are a very good teacher! I was taught by someone last week, and it was very hard to learn. This way is much easier, and much clearer. The tension idea is brilliant! I always had my pieces mixed up.
This helped a lot, thanks!
