I'm so excited for you! Crochet has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years, and it’s truly my favorite thing to do. If there’s anything I can do to help make this journey easier for you, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m here to support you and can’t wait to see you succeed in this new adventure!

@missmo4541 I get so inspired by other people's creations but no matter how many tutorials I've seen I can't even make a ring 😅 honestly don't know why it just doesn't work for me

Have you tried the magic ring yet?

@@missmo4541 I think that's what I tried to make last time Do the tool/yarn make much of a difference? (I got a kit from Wish but no luck even starting it)

Oh no! I do have about 4 videos that I did the magic circle on three were projects, and one was just the magic circle by itself. Let me know if you need me to do another video where i'm going slower. Maybe I should use a lighter yarn or darker yarn, whatever you think that is going to help you.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the standing stitches and found the tips helpful. 😊 Learning something new is always exciting, and I’m thrilled to share these techniques with you. Happy crocheting, and thanks for your support! 🧶❤

You are very welcome! Happy crocheting Nikki! 😊🧶

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Hi! Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your tip. Using a larger hook for the chain is a great idea, especially if it helps with tension and keeps the chain from being too tight. For foundation rows, it can depend on the project and personal preference. If you notice that your foundation row feels tighter than the rest of your stitches, going up a hook size can definitely help maintain consistency. Personally, I do not use a different size hook then my project. I have a tendancy to have a larger foundation row anyway. Experimenting with different hook sizes is a great way to find what works best for you and your projects. Happy crocheting! 🧶😊

Yay! I’m so excited that you found the foundation single crochet (fsc) technique helpful for your oval bag bottoms! 😍🎉 It really is a game-changer for projects like that. I can’t wait for you to give it a try-I'm sure it’ll turn out amazing. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! Happy crocheting! ❤🧶

Thank you so much! 😊 I'm so glad you found it helpful and easy to follow. Making crochet less intimidating is exactly what I aim for. 🧶 I hope you enjoy trying out the techniques! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future videos.

Thank you for your comment! That’s a great question, and I’m so glad you found the tutorial helpful! 🧶 When translating a pattern’s chain count to a foundation chain, it depends on how the pattern is written. For a single crochet foundation chain (sc FC), if the pattern calls for 52 chains and the first row has a stitch count of 51 (because you skip the first chain), you would create 51 stitches in your foundation chain. The foundation chain includes the stitch and the chain base, so you don’t need to add that skipped chain at the start. Essentially, the stitch count in the pattern’s first row will be the same as the number of stitches you work in the foundation chain. I hope this clears things up, and let me know if you have any other questions! 😊 Happy crocheting!

@ thank you so much..this makes it clear..and I’m not sure that’s understood in a lot of the tutorials I’ve watched or at least it’s not addressed…so thanks for clearing that up for me! God bless you!

It is my pleasure! Anytime you have a question, just let me know!!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Crocheting straight sides can definitely be tricky-it’s something many of us have struggled with at some point. 🧶 The key often comes down to keeping track of your first and last stitches in each row, and stitch markers can really help with that. I’d be happy to create a video or include tips in a future tutorial specifically focused on keeping sides straight and avoiding accidental increases or decreases. Don’t get discouraged-you’re not alone in this, and with a little practice, it will start to click! Hang in there, and I’m here to help however I can. 😊

@ Thank you 👍😁

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for sharing your crochet journey! Wow, 52 years of crocheting-that’s amazing! 🧶 I’m so glad the video was helpful and that my explanations resonated with you. I completely understand how stitch markers can make a big difference, especially when keeping track of those tricky 'v’s.' Your suggestion is fantastic, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos. I’ll make sure to show exactly where to place the next stitch, how to locate the first sc (or dc), and how to count them step by step. I really appreciate the feedback-it helps me create content that’s even more helpful! Thank you again for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Happy crocheting! 😊

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled that you love it! ❤🧶

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you found the instructions easy to follow and could adapt them as a lefty! 🧶 Foundation rows really do make starting a project so much more fun (and less frustrating) than chaining. Happy crocheting!

❤️ Love it!! 2 things that I'm crazy about this foundation. 1 it's mesmerizing, and I can just sit and do this all day, and 2. You can use both sides!!

Hey, someone understood my comment!! Love it!!! I always cry when I ribbit, but then get over it when I repurpose to something even better!!!

Thank you so much for subscribing! 🧶💜 I’m so glad to have you here!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to me that my video could help you in a way that feels clear and approachable. I know how frustrating it can be to follow tutorials that move too quickly, so I’m truly grateful that you found my step-by-step approach helpful. I’m cheering you on as you practice and grow your skills! ❤ Your gratitude and support encourage me to keep sharing. Thank you for being here! 😊

That’s such a cool story! I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel! Happy New Year to you too! With my roots are in Nebraska, I love being outdoors myself!! Something so peaceful and lovely about being outdoors.

I never thought of using it for a granny square. But yes, it would work for anything that you need to do a sc or dc foundation row.

Once I tried this sc and dc foundation rows, I was hooked. Pun intended. lol

My video that I am posting next Monday, I briefly explain how to switch over to another yarn. But I can certainly create a video in the future specifically addressing this. Thanks for the idea!!!

Yeah!! Let me know how it works for you!!

Start at the timestamp 14:38, where I begin the double crochet (dc) instructions. The half double crochet (hdc) is very similar to the dc. Then, skip to 18:25, where I briefly explain the hdc. If you'd like a little more practice, I use the hdc foundation row in the phone sleeve/glasses case video at the timestamp 7:00: th-cam.com/video/OfXwtPRondY/w-d-xo.html. When converting a chain foundation to an hdc foundation row, you’ll need to account for the turning chains. Typically, the turning chains in the foundation chain count as a stitch. When working the hdc foundation row, you'll create the base chain and the first hdc stitch simultaneously. Ensure you adjust the total stitch count by excluding any turning chains from the original foundation chain count. This allows you to maintain the correct number of stitches while using the hdc foundation method.

Thanks!!!

Wow!!! 56 years, I thought my 20 something was a long time. Go you!! Yes, I also do the stacked double and treble crochets. It makes your work look so much better. That will be a video in the future, although I have hinted at it a couple of times, lol. Glad to see you here, happy crocheting!!!

That's awesome, I'll have to look it up 😊

I know what you mean lol . Im 62 and just learning to crochet. I think when your younger you dont have time or patience . Too many things and people pulling at you. When your in hour 60s. Its time for your own pursuits.. im having a hard time with this. But i will persevere

You must be kidding me... Wow... Mind blowing 😯 Seriously Mo... I don't know how to thank you for this technique. I'm glad you're sharing it with crochet lovers. Thank you 🙏

I learned foundation single crochet years ago and no ibdo all different stitches foundation I don't like the chain stitch

Glad it was helpful!

Nice to meet you Yvonne!!! It is my pleasure and thanks for sharing with me. I love doing these and sharing with others. Do you have a favorite stitch or something in particular you want to learn.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Is there a particular place that you can't see it? Do I need to zoom in more? Or should I use a different color?

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know. I will upload one before too long.

I do teach crochet when someone is interested, but not an actual teacher.
