    Can I just say, I started crocheting 3 days ago, and I have the basics. I then stumbled across some of your videos to get a few more stitches under my belt, and you explained everything so beautifully. I decided to watch this one incase you explain anything further than what I’ve already learnt. Wow, instead of just telling people how to do things, you explain WHY, and I love that! Thank you

    • @youthecat
      @youthecat Год назад +11

      Exactly!
      I remember a job I had in my early employment days. Another young woman who was training me would never tell me why something was being done, no matter how obscure the method of executing a task might be. When I finally decided I could keep my mouth shut no longer, I finally asked if she could tell me why a particular thing was done the way it was.
      Omg, you'd think I'd just questioned a freakin Schutzstaffel!.... "WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHY; WE JUST DO IT!" Her words! Seriously! About knocked my socks off. I quit shortly afterwards, since *her* boss felt the same way.
      If a method or process feels even remotely unintuitive to me, I've always felt the strong compulsion to know why it's done the way it is. For me, knowing WHY just helps me understand the larger scheme of how things work. I like things to make sense.... always have.

    If you are struggling READ THIS! You can do it. Take a break and come back later. Watch again and then when you try again you can play the part you need on the slowest setting. There are speed controls on RUclips to help you. ☺️ It doesn’t always come the first several tries. I know. When I first started I tried over and over and just wasn’t getting it. I just needed to give myself grace and time to learn. Everyone learns at different speeds. Your brain and body are learning to do something new together and many times it is the learning from our mistakes that help us become better at something. Remember when we first learn to walk we learn to get up on our hands and knees and then crawl. Hugs to you.

    • @GoodKnitKisses
      @GoodKnitKisses  4 года назад +11

      ChaeMoon yes. The FTC considers creators collecting info if kids are watching and commenting because technically their name associated and their account when they comment; plus they identify that way (being under 13). I just want to be sure I’m not flagged as “appealing to children” when I’m marking my videos as not directed that way (although I make sure to select it’s ok for 13 and up). Personally I think people of all ages should try and learn the skills at whatever age they can pick up and hold a crochet hook, knitting loom or knitting needles. It’s great for mental health, challenges the brain and even helps stave off Alzheimer’s. COPPA is really a great thing but the enforcement on family friendly content is worrisome when the fines could be up to $40,000+ for EACH video. 😳 I don’t even make that in a year and have hundreds of video. I am a mom of 3 kids and completely understand and appreciate protection for kids).

I picked up one pack of yarn and one crochet needle at the store the other day, and started looking up "Crochet for beginners" videos on RUclips. You are my 4th video and I won't be looking for a 5th! The videos I watched before were all over the place, didn't describe anything, use "correct" terminology ("that's what i say but that's not really what it's called") type of stuff. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!! I was about to just give up completely but I found your video and I think I'm starting to get it, even improving a bit!

    I just wanted to come here to say thank you for your videos. I started this past May (2022) and your videos were my foundation. I've now made blankets and headbands and am hoping to further expand my crochet repertoire, but I will always remember your lesson videos as what gave me my base knowledge. Thanks again

    You. You are a life saver. I've been knitting for about 15 years, finally decided to learn crochet-- I'm sick of spending a thousand years on a very limited variety of projects. Oh it will be so easy to learn from a RUclips video! I'm a smart lady that can figure things out, I'll just watch a few videos and it will be simple!
    Uh. No.
    This is the first video I have found that answers all my questions and shows everything from the perspective of teaching a skill to someone with no background in this area rather than showing this to someone who already knows what they're doing. Can't thank you enough!!

    I have found these tutorials enormously helpful. I did have to watch them through a few times because I am hopelessly forgetful but at 51 years old I can finally crochet and have just completed a baby blanket in pastel squares in single crochet. How satisfying :) I am about to progress to another stitch now I have cracked that one. My husband told me to give up at one point because of my frustration levels but I persevered and I'm so glad I did. The trickiest part was learning my own technique particularly the first chain as it's fiddly and you have to master how to hold the hook and wool that is comfortable for you but don't give up, you'll get there with it :) Thanks so much for posting these online. Lockdown has been grim at times but I have found learning a new skill has helped take my mind off it. Onward and upward - take care and stay safe all you crocheters xx

The instructions are super clear, technique is clear all the questions I still had were answered in this video. I feel like I have a good grasp on the single crochet and I will be using her videos to learn all the other techniques. Also nice choice of colour on the yarn, I saw the stitches clearly! Seriously SO happy I found this!!!

    This was great, I am kind of self taught. I was shown about 42 years ago to make a granny square, which was my first ever project. Now I know how to work the yarn around my fingers to hold on to it with out being to tight on my fingers or sliding off my fingers. I could keep on telling you how much you have shown me., but it would be a book. When I get through all your classes I want to make a cardigan for myself . Love the way you teach,explain and show us how to do the stitches.Thank you 🖒⚘

    THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER !! Every other tutorial made me feel like an idiot while skipping half the steps in this video ! Tutorial makers take notes ! The clear and concise explanation that are evident of genuine understanding and care for the craft, the slowing down of faster parts to ensure that you're never confused, explaining little things like where exactly to place the hook when starting a new chain or how to go back and redo a part ! I've seen tutorials that claim to be slow and for beginners while they use technical jargon and speed through the basic steps !
    This tutorial understands that when someone is watching a beginner video it's because they *don't* know how to crochet !

    @anunohmouse7460 2 года назад

    Thank you so much. I've been learning entirely off YT and for days I couldn't figure out why I was getting a funny line through my swatch as I was practicing. I kept going back and watching the tutorials from all the best crocheting channels and couldn't see where I was going wrong. Only when I came to YOUR video today and got to 10:35 where you very clearly explained that you put the hook through BOTH stitches of the chain did I realise where I was going wrong.
    No other video explained that for some reason. They went from showing you how to enter a single loop from the chain on your first row and then never explained on the next row that you want to go through both stitches of the chain.
    I hope that made sense, I just want to express how massively grateful I am for you and this video. If your next few videos are like this one I'll definitely be subscribing.
