    Fiber Spider, I’m a retired special education teacher and I am moved to tell you that you are an excellent teacher. You take nothing for granted and explain things so clearly. It is greatly appreciated. I have been crocheting and knitting for 47 years and I’m still learning new things. Thank you.

    I want to thank you so much for this tutorial and the gentle way you remind me to count my stitches. I've tried following other tutorials and I feel rushed even though I know I can pause a video. Your voice is calm which in turn keeps me calm and I don't feel rushed. 🧡❤💜

      I agree with Donna, I love Fiber Spider's tutorials, and Fiber's voice is indeed comforting. I can play the tutorial over and over while learning the stitches, Fiber just has a great way of teaching crochet. Since I don't knit, yet, I can only comment on the wonderful crochet patterns.

      I agree,what I believe it be some people be half sleep and the phone brushes up against them while sleep the wrong way,that has happened soo many times, iv woken up to several accidental dislikes. But I do correct it. In this case it needs to be corrected because I absolutely love him and definitely his work.

    I have mastered the virus shawl, it was the best crochet video that I had ever seen. So many instructors and videos, it was great. I did see instruction for the virus blanket but that was not what I wanted to do. When you called the stitch a virus square, somehow that resonated better with me and now I'm back to start counting again. I love the virus pattern. Thank you for your video.🥰

      Mine is curly at round 6, does it really flatten out? I don't want to keep going if I'm going to have to rip it out. Smaller hook? Bigger hook? Lol. I'm using the Ice Cream big scoop tuti fruiti with G 4.5 hook. Help 😊
