Kelly - i must respond. You have some of the best teaching videos I’ve ever used! You are clear, you are not talking all the time - just what is necessary. Your knowledge is abundant and well thought out when you are teaching a weaving process! Your teaching videos are excellent! Some jealous people (faceless people) use a false power to express their opinions - this says more about them than you! Keep on putting out your wonderful teaching lessons! Thank you!
As someone who could, once upon a time, see it once and do it, I have slowed down as I’ve got older and my brain is getting quite fuzzy these days, so these bright sparks please remember that they too might be grateful for a full patient (and loving) explanation one day! Do please keep doing what you’re doing, and let them just use the advance double tap. Meanwhile I sometimes have to repeat the last 10 secs occasionally! 😊
Kelly I’m a new weaver (3 weeks now😊) and I absolutely love the way you teach. I signed up for your Woe to Go class and learned so much. I’ve now completed 3 scarfs, placemats & a tea towel. I will definitely be signing up for more of your classes in the future. I tell all my friends who are interested in learning to weave to go to your channel💜😊
Kelly, it always amazes me how rude and inconsiderate people can be. There are so many who could use few lessons in manners and courtesy. I am so glad that you addressed this on your video. I think you are an outstanding teacher and I know that it is not easy teaching through a camera. You do a fabulous job. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us all. An attentive viewer from the US, Lori
Kelly, I felt I had to write . I have been watching you now for many years. I personally benefit from your way of teaching. I need to be shown everything a couple of times before I grasp it. I wish you had been my teacher at school in the 60’s I would of learnt so much more, instead of attending night classes for many years. Thank you thank you for your patience and please keep teaching your way god bless.
I just received my first loom for my birthday and am so glad I found your channel. I knit, crochet, spin, felt and have found the fiber arts community to be very kind and giving. It’s not about being fast. It’s about the creativity and enjoyment. Otherwise, we could all just purchase these items at a store. I really appreciate you taking the time for us beginners.
Dear sweet Kelly, I'm a 64 year old Christian grandma and It hurts my heart to think of you being hurt or disappointed by things people say. You're a very kind-hearted person and an excellent teacher who cares if we are understanding all of the information that you have for us. And if we need extra help, you're there for us. That says a lot about you. If they don't want to listen to all the instructions because they are learning at a faster rate or they are impatient, then they can fast forward. In any case I find that if I do not read or listen to everything in the instructions beforehand, and try to skim through things, I will always make mistakes, which I will have to go back and fix later. So the time I take to listen at the beginning save me lots of time later on. You are wonderful teacher. Keep teaching in the way you have. I don't know what we would do without you and we don't ever want to find out. I feel as if I found a treasure when I happened upon your TH-cam channel. Finding another Christian in this big old world is like finding another family member. May God bless you as you serve Him.
You are so right about how people learn, I admit sometimes I find the videos a little slow BUT I love it if I dont have time I might just speed through a little but I often come back and watch again. Please don’t change.
Oh Kelly, you are such a good teacher! I have only been weaving 2 years and I have learned so much from you. You are very good about explaining everything.
I already knew how to weave for many years when I met you and I have learned so much more with your guide, you explain wonderfully well, just keep doing it your way and don't change You are a great teacher Kelly!!!
I want to thank you for your classes and your method of teaching. I have been weaving for a year and a half and thanks to your online school, I am at my loom on a daily basis and enjoying it immensely. I thank my lucky stars for finding you to lead the way.
I really wish people could just let stuff go. If ya don't like something, move on and find something you do like, or that works better for you, no comment needed. I love the slow, step-by-step instructions. I couldn't afford to buy a $400 loom, so I built my own from scraps, and now I'm learning to use it. Did the same with my spinning wheel, and taught myself to use it this same way, because I also can't afford to buy special yarns at $8-12/skein or ball, when a project takes 5-6 or more balls of yarn. Thank you so much for taking the extra time out of your own days to make these videos and post them for us slow pokes!😁
@@KellyCasanova Just a quick question, what would the doubled warp be used for? Just to create a heavier material, or is there a patterned use for doing that?
@@KellyCasanova but with 2 ends moving together in each slot or eye, all you've done is double the thickness of the material woven, not made it any finer, unless you separate each thread with the shuttle on each pick?
Me too! I love your teaching style. I usually have to watch 10 times to learn a new technique before I “get it” but I am still weaving after 3 years of watching you. I’m glad I recently joined your Gold Membership so I can watch everything 10 times. 😉
I am thrilled with the "speed" at which you teach. I am a new weaver and have not been frustrated by fast talk and quick maneuvers! I am weaving and enjoying it immensely!! Thank you!!
I want to say thank you for your step by step as I am deaf and I read both the captions and follow what you do visually. I need someone to take their time. Not dumb, just deaf. Thank you again.
Dear Kelly, I'm so sorry some people are so hurtful. What is it our Grandmothers taught us... "if you cant say something nice don't say anything". Or maybe it should be "if you are going to be horrible than don't watch".... I so agree with all the positive people and their lovely comments. You know I've been watching you for years just waiting for the time to be right to get home and get started with all that you have taught me. Your gentle manner has kept me grounded and inspired thru some very stressful years. I love your teaching style. I love your work. You are so Generous and Kind, and supportive. Please don't loose anymore sleep over stupid, nastiness. Love Leonie
I so very much appreciate your teaching style, I find it is just what works for me. As a former elementary school teacher (32 years), I saw a wide variety of learning styles in children. As an elementary teacher, I had to teach in many varied ways to include all learners. The beauty of TH-cam videos is that we can each find someone whose teaching method we best relate to. I have watched many TH-cam videos and there is something special about the way in which you present material that just “clicks” for me. For other podcasters whom I have tried which did not reach me, I thanked them for the video, or just moved on. Saying something unkind is just not acceptable, especially when you put so much work and time into HELPING us. Thank you from a new weaver who very much appreciates what you do. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Kelly I love your teaching style and appreciate all the effort you put into doing these videos. It takes so much work to put together what you do so please take those nasty comment to heart and please don't stop making your content. I am learning so much from you and have been a member of your teaching school for almost a year. I'm just starting on the Art Cloth workshop and am really excited about painting my first warp!
I am a new weaver, progressing very quickly. Your instruction, as far as I am concerned, is very explicit, and very informative. I am learning quickly, but still love your videos, you often explain things several ways, also very helpful. Don't be discouraged. If people don't like your style there is nothing stopping them from going elsewhere. I like your style, I will stay with you. Cheers.
Being a "visual learner", your teaching style is just perfect for me. I prefer a "slow" tutorial when learning something new so your style of teaching is never too slow for me. And as far as you talking too much, you take the time to explain all the ins and outs of weaving so new learners don't miss anything. That's very much appreciated!!! Don't change a thing.
I just finished my first project. Thanks to you I was successful. Without your focus on selvages, I wouldn't have realized I needed to deal with them at all, and it would have been a disaster. Your hint to have the end threads go through eyes, rather than slats, is one I will take next time. (I get it now.) You are an excellent teacher with a pleasant voice and an authentic way of being. Nevermind the unkind remarks; it must really stink to be so miserable that you have to antagonize TH-cam creators. Unkindness and rudeness does seem to have become more of a thing these days. I truly appreciate your effort. You helped me immensely. Thank you so so much!
Kelly being a teacher, I have found that many people either are impatient when they think they already know. And others just like to gripe. I really love your school, your videos, and the way you teach. Your detailed way of teaching helps so much. I watch everyone and found I learn more from you than others because of your detailed instruction. I learned to weave many years ago on my floor loom. But the rigid heddle loom was a new experience for me. Also my floor loom is very old and harder for me with an injured body, but I can't just sit and do nothing, so I got a rigid heddle loom. So your instruction on the smaller loom makes It easier at this time and I'm really enjoying what I can do on it. And so much has changed over time it's like learning to weave all over again. Thank You so much.
Kelly I just watched your "slow" video, and I think your approach to teaching is just perfect. You are clear, concise and a born teacher. Don't change a thing about your videos & never ever listen to negative people who just have to make everyone around them unhappy just because they're unhappy with themselves! You have taught & inspired so many.....I hope you never stop.
Kelly I keep coming back to your videos more than any others and always pick up things I missed before. I love your content and style and I'm thankful to be weaving with you and exploring new ideas. ♥ Your dedication to your craft and your students will always shine through. 🌞
Kelly, I appreciate your thoughts. I am a retired third grade teacher in the U.S. and everyone learns differently. I love the way you teach and the fact that you do slow down and show all the details. There are not many weavers in Florida and definitely no teachers, so I depend on you tube and your teaching to help me. I have been a beginner for two years. I only know how to warp and weft one way, but now I am going to try the double warp with your help. Thank you so much. Leonore Gualano
Shame on the people who complained. Just like a post on FB your not happy with, scroll on by. I really like the way you do your videos. I'm a hands on learner and seeing what your doing really helps.
Thank you for being brave enough to tell people to think of others and to be kind. We have allowed rudeness to be the norm and we need to turn things around. ❤
Yes, standards have slipped a long, long way so that many people, especially the newer generation are not even aware of how to interact properly and with respect. Very sad.
Change speed to 1.25 or 1.5 in SETTINGS if impatient, or change to .75 if slower is better for you. Just one of millions of reasons I enjoy TH-cam and all of the amazing people who share and teach. Thank you all so much! Love, Joy and Blessings to all. Namasté
Kelly when I first started to learn weaving your cam slower teaching method is what I raved about. I think it's very reassuring for those learning to weave not to feel intimidated . Don't change a thing, you are a great teacher!!!
Kelly, I think you are an excellent instructor and I hope you let the disgruntled people not inhibit you at all!! I’m new to all this and I really appreciate you and your gift of sharing your gifts! Thank you!!❤️
Thank you for being upfront about what has been said in the comments. So sad that some people feel that only they are important and the world should adjust to them. You have MANY more appreciative viewers than nay-sayers. Keep up the great work
Kelly, don’t change a thing. Your teaching style is perfect for me. As you said, those with negative attitudes can go elsewhere to a site that suites them better. Please don’t get discouraged. Love your channel, content, and style of teaching.
Awesome, Kelly. Thank you so much for all the great videos and the time and effort you put into your weaving channel. As a new weaver, I greatly appreciate the wealth of information you provide. Your teaching style suits me to a "T" .
Thank you Kelly for explaining slowly. I have a learning disability from a childhood accident, it takes me longer than most to understand something that is new & involves many steps. I very much enjoy your way of teaching.
What a helpful tutorial. I really appreciate your teaching method. I’m so sorry to hear that you have been treated so unkindly by some viewers. We live in such an opinionated world - especially on social platforms. You are such a kind and thoughtful person and have been such a great help to me as a novice weaver. Thank you!!!!
I am 73 years young, and I have taught all sorts of people all sorts of things despite being self-taught in nearly everything. During the teaching I have been able to teach to every one of my students exactly what they wanted to learn. Painting, sewing, stained glass, wire wrapping, paper mâché, even hanging and mudding drywall and so on. Some of them walked away surprised that they could do what they wanted. I have always said, " don't say you can't do something if you haven't tried to do it." During all the teaching, some of my students would pick things up immediately, some a little more effort was needed and for some it was extremely difficult but, in the end, I found a way to show them how to do it without difficulty. Some didn't understand what I was trying to get across so I always tried to look at it from their point of view until I found the correct approach so they could understand. Anyone that doesn't know how to fast forward a video if they are bored with parts of it because they have no consideration for someone else maybe struggling to learn, I wouldn't give them a second thought. My dad always taught people how to do things and I learned his patience and caring and mostly always to pay it forward. You do a wonderful job Kelly. I have done basic weaving but now I have more time to learn, and your videos are my go-to because you are a good teach. Some of them I watch more than once if I am having a problem and some I get right away. Don't ever let anyone try to make you feel less than you are. I find those people to usually suffer from jealousy. Now, smile knowing this old woman appreciates you immensely and thank you for sharing your wonderful videos.
Kelly, I really appreciate your comments!! We all learn in different ways and at different times. SO glad I have added you to my own personal consortium of online fiber teachers. I follow you because I can learn from you and I also appreciate your patience, kindness and humanity. Keep being YOU!! :)
Kelly, you have made my launch into weaving so much more positive. I am always a bit hesitant starting a new project. But, you have given me the courage and confidence to challenge myself to try new things. I love your patience! I was a home school mom for my two sons. I know there is so much to do while keeping up with all the daily tasks and then taking on growing a business! You are amazing!!
I often understand quicker than your full explanation. So I fast forward. This is such a simple thing to do, and it allows others to learn as they need. And when I don't get it, as sometimes happens, I can watch the whole thing and learn. I for one love your teaching style, because it is so inclusive.
Just to add to the other positive comments you see here. I'm a new subscriber and a new Premium Member BECAUSE of your teaching style! I need the step by step and if I pick up a skill quickly, I can simply fast forward to the next step. I love both your in-depth videos and your short and sweet weaving tips videos. I can consume what I need at any given time. I also appreciate your statement at the beginning of how we (certainly here in the US, but perhaps worldwide) have stopped being considerate and tolerant of others who are different. Looking forward to all your classes and videos. Many thanks.
Bravo Kelly! Well said! As a new weaver, I find your way of teaching is exactly what I need. I have already learned so much from you and want to thank you for giving me the confidence and desire to learn even more as I embark on this new adventure in weaving. Please don’t change a thing💞
@@KellyCasanova Hi Kelly, i want to built a 78 inch heddle loom. Why? i have been crochet balls of wool the past year to weave a through of about 2 meters wide and 1.8 meters long. like a blanket in front of the TV in winter time. i want to have it all one peace. can you give me advice on this project please. regards, Amanda
I love your teaching style. I sometimes have trouble figuring out techniques and found that your videos were very helpful. Thank-you for making this instructional videos. I'm looking forward to future videos!!!!
Thank you for what you do, I could have spent hundreds of dollars to learn, again thank you😉 Take care and do what you do. Nova Scotia appreciates you.
Thank you for all your sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your teaching. And I want to emphasize that your way you talk to us via your video is to my liking. 👍
I'm sorry some people are saying negative things; I find your lessons to be the best I've ever seen for really explaining and showing one how to do things. If the video is too long for someone, surely they can just advance it to the parts they want to see or stop it when they understand. We have control of our monitors... I do that. I may watch one all the way through and then go try the method and come back and move around in the video to parts I need to see again.
Kelly, I think you are wonderful. This anonymous internet age has enabled people to be mean to others in a way they wouldn’t or couldn’t if the other person was standing in front of them. There’s just something about the anonymity of that keyboard and the fact that they aren’t looking at the face of the poor person they are being mean to that has lead to a rash of incivility and a complete lack of concern for the feelings of others. Thanks so much for speaking for the silent and often bullied majority.
That is so said that people react that way. We all learn in different ways but if all people you are very detailed and good at explaining everything. Please do not stop as unha e learned a lot from your videos and always look forward tontura. Doing a great job Kelly
Hi Kelly. I write in response to your comments on people having different learning styles and on the negativity addressed to you in the comments. For me, your teaching style resonates and I value all of the knowledge and encouragement you share on your various platforms. Thank you. For those who post negative criticism here are my thoughts garnered over my lifetime (I am now in my 8th decade of life and learning😆): If you have nothing nice (good, constructive) to say then don’t say anything at all. If you feel that a video or post needs to be different then by all means say so in a positive, constructive manner. Last, as Kelly has already said, if her presentations do not resonate with you, please find a different teacher and allow the rest of us to learn and enjoy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and the exacting way you explain things. I’m very new to weaving and I’ve found your videos the most helpful. For those naysayers who say you go to slowly, just tell them to increase the playback speed. It would be a sad loss for them if they missed your terrific teaching style because of a lack of patience or understanding how to use TH-cam. I watch your videos multiple times and zip through the stuff I think I know then change back to normal speed for things that I need a bit slower. Please keep doing what you do.
Kelly, I've only watched a few of your videos, and I'm not even a weaver yet. I'm doing research in prep for buying a loom....😅 In any case, your videos are great, and you're so pleasant to listen to ! Please keep going exactly as you are - I look forward to watching more of your videos once I have my loom.
I’m new to your channel…sorry to hear about the negativity. I also want to be involved in post it I’ve, supportive communities as I’m sure most of your viewers do. You addressed it beautifully and I appreciate all the time you take to share with us newbies, thank you!
Kelly keep doing what you do so well. Love your tutorials. I like the way you explain things so comprehensively I need that type of tutorial. Try to ignore the naysayers (not easy i know). Sending hugs and positivity Gordon in South Yorkshire UK🤗🤗🤗
thank you very much Kelly your video was very good I'm a beginner and it was easy to learn this today also I would like to know if you have a slow version for double width weaving video please.
Hi Diana, I have two double width classes for rigid heddle weavers but no videos here on TH-cam. You may be interested in this class - kelly-casanova-weaving-lessons.teachable.com/p/weaving-with-two-heddles/?preview=logged_out

Don't change a thing about your videos & never ever listen to negative people who just have to make everyone around them unhappy just because they're unhappy with themselves! You have taught & inspired so many.....I hope you never stop.
Thank you, that is wonderful encouragement 🥰
Kelly I keep coming back to your videos more than any others and always pick up things I missed before. I love your content and style and I'm thankful to be weaving with you and exploring new ideas. ♥ Your dedication to your craft and your students will always shine through. 🌞
Thank you so much! ❤️
Kelly, I appreciate your thoughts. I am a retired third grade teacher in the U.S. and everyone learns differently. I love the way you teach and the fact that you do slow down and show all the details. There are not many weavers in Florida and definitely no teachers, so I depend on you tube and your teaching to help me. I have been a beginner for two years. I only know how to warp and weft one way, but now I am going to try the double warp with your help. Thank you so much. Leonore Gualano
That's great Leonore, all the best with it!
You do a wonderful job! I love your videos. Don't let negative people get you down.
Thank you Paulette 😊
Shame on the people who complained. Just like a post on FB your not happy with, scroll on by. I really like the way you do your videos. I'm a hands on learner and seeing what your doing really helps.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for being brave enough to tell people to think of others and to be kind. We have allowed rudeness to be the norm and we need to turn things around. ❤
Yes, standards have slipped a long, long way so that many people, especially the newer generation are not even aware of how to interact properly and with respect. Very sad.
Change speed to 1.25 or 1.5 in SETTINGS if impatient, or change to .75 if slower is better for you. Just one of millions of reasons I enjoy TH-cam and all of the amazing people who share and teach. Thank you all so much! Love, Joy and Blessings to all. Namasté
Kelly when I first started to learn weaving your cam slower teaching method is what I raved about. I think it's very reassuring for those learning to weave not to feel intimidated . Don't change a thing, you are a great teacher!!!
Thank you Carol 😀
Kelly, I think you are an excellent instructor and I hope you let the disgruntled people not inhibit you at all!! I’m new to all this and I really appreciate you and your gift of sharing your gifts! Thank you!!❤️
Thank you Lisa ❤️
Thank you for being upfront about what has been said in the comments. So sad that some people feel that only they are important and the world should adjust to them. You have MANY more appreciative viewers than nay-sayers. Keep up the great work
Thank you Joann ❤️
Kelly, don’t change a thing. Your teaching style is perfect for me. As you said, those with negative attitudes can go elsewhere to a site that suites them better. Please don’t get discouraged. Love your channel, content, and style of teaching.
Thanks so much Virginia 🥰
Awesome, Kelly. Thank you so much for all the great videos and the time and effort you put into your weaving channel. As a new weaver, I greatly appreciate the wealth of information you provide. Your teaching style suits me to a "T" .
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you Kelly for explaining slowly. I have a learning disability from a childhood accident, it takes me longer than most to understand something that is new & involves many steps. I very much enjoy your way of teaching.
Thank you, I'm glad to help!
Kelly, I love your pacing! I have learned so much from you, and I am deeply grateful.
Thank you Kris ❤️
Thank you. You are a great teacher.
Thank you Laurie ❤️
What a helpful tutorial. I really appreciate your teaching method. I’m so sorry to hear that you have been treated so unkindly by some viewers. We live in such an opinionated world - especially on social platforms. You are such a kind and thoughtful person and have been such a great help to me as a novice weaver. Thank you!!!!
I am 73 years young, and I have taught all sorts of people all sorts of things despite being self-taught in nearly everything. During the teaching I have been able to teach to every one of my students exactly what they wanted to learn. Painting, sewing, stained glass, wire wrapping, paper mâché, even hanging and mudding drywall and so on. Some of them walked away surprised that they could do what they wanted. I have always said, " don't say you can't do something if you haven't tried to do it." During all the teaching, some of my students would pick things up immediately, some a little more effort was needed and for some it was extremely difficult but, in the end, I found a way to show them how to do it without difficulty. Some didn't understand what I was trying to get across so I always tried to look at it from their point of view until I found the correct approach so they could understand. Anyone that doesn't know how to fast forward a video if they are bored with parts of it because they have no consideration for someone else maybe struggling to learn, I wouldn't give them a second thought. My dad always taught people how to do things and I learned his patience and caring and mostly always to pay it forward. You do a wonderful job Kelly. I have done basic weaving but now I have more time to learn, and your videos are my go-to because you are a good teach. Some of them I watch more than once if I am having a problem and some I get right away. Don't ever let anyone try to make you feel less than you are. I find those people to usually suffer from jealousy. Now, smile knowing this old woman appreciates you immensely and thank you for sharing your wonderful videos.
That is so lovely, thank you Kathy ❤
Thank you, some people need this, because they need time to grasp
As a new weaver- Kelly, thank you for your terrific videos!
You're welcome! 😀
Kelly, I'm a new weaver and have learned a great deal from you. Don't change your style.
That is great to hear, thank you Rita 😊
You are so easy to understand, and you make a beginner like myself want to do more. Don't ever let others get you down! You are a blessing to me!
Thank you Vicki ❤
Best teacher Kelly,dont be sad,you are doing great keep your spirit up
Kelly, I really appreciate your comments!! We all learn in different ways and at different times. SO glad I have added you to my own personal consortium of online fiber teachers. I follow you because I can learn from you and I also appreciate your patience, kindness and humanity. Keep being YOU!! :)
Thanks so much Catherine ❤️
Kelly, keep on being you. You are amazing. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Diane, I appreciate all your support very much ❤️
As a new weaver, I love your videos. Keep being a positive influence on others! Your videos are so precise and easy to understand.
Thank you!
Kelly, you have made my launch into weaving so much more positive. I am always a bit hesitant starting a new project. But, you have given me the courage and confidence to challenge myself to try new things. I love your patience! I was a home school mom for my two sons. I know there is so much to do while keeping up with all the daily tasks and then taking on growing a business! You are amazing!!
Thank you Patricia! 😀
I often understand quicker than your full explanation. So I fast forward. This is such a simple thing to do, and it allows others to learn as they need.
And when I don't get it, as sometimes happens, I can watch the whole thing and learn.
I for one love your teaching style, because it is so inclusive.
Thank you Yoav 😊
Thank you so much for creating such a happy place for those of us who are wanting to learn new things❤ I am looking forward to doubling my warp☺
Wonderful! ❤️
Just to add to the other positive comments you see here. I'm a new subscriber and a new Premium Member BECAUSE of your teaching style! I need the step by step and if I pick up a skill quickly, I can simply fast forward to the next step. I love both your in-depth videos and your short and sweet weaving tips videos. I can consume what I need at any given time. I also appreciate your statement at the beginning of how we (certainly here in the US, but perhaps worldwide) have stopped being considerate and tolerant of others who are different. Looking forward to all your classes and videos. Many thanks.
Thank you Margo! ❤️
Bravo Kelly! Well said! As a new weaver, I find your way of teaching is exactly what I need. I have already learned so much from you and want to thank you for giving me the confidence and desire to learn even more as I embark on this new adventure in weaving. Please don’t change a thing💞
Thank you! ☺️
You are okay, I love the way your teaching . You are fitting my needs 😎🏆🌹
Thank you!
Bravo…..I love your instructions and the time you take.
I'm so glad to hear it, thank you 😊
Well said, Kelly! Keep on exactly as you're teaching, your pace and style is perfect for all of us here.
Thank you so much!
Oh, and good for you standing up for yourself. I believe in that strongly.
Thank you so much, you have show me a new world with weaving. Keep up the good work. I am so thank full. Regards, Amanda. SA.
Thank you Amanda!

Hi Kelly, i want to built a 78 inch heddle loom. Why? i have been crochet balls of wool the past year to weave a through of about 2 meters wide and 1.8 meters long. like a blanket in front of the TV in winter time. i want to have it all one peace. can you give me advice on this project please.
regards,
Amanda
You are great!!!! If I have trouble with any teaching videos on youtube rewind and repeat.
Thank you!
I love your teaching style. I sometimes have trouble figuring out techniques and found that your videos were very helpful. Thank-you for making this instructional videos. I'm looking forward to future videos!!!!
Thank you Louise!
You taught me to weave on my rigid heddle loom. All the tips were a great help.
Great to hear!
I just bought a rigid heddle loom and really appreciate the slower style of your teaching since I'm a beginner.
Thank you Stephanie, congratulations on your new loom!
Thank you for what you do, I could have spent hundreds of dollars to learn, again thank you😉 Take care and do what you do. Nova Scotia appreciates you.
Thank you Lucille ❤️
Thank you for all your sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your teaching. And I want to emphasize that your way you talk to us via your video is to my liking. 👍
Well, thank you very much! ❤
I'm sorry some people are saying negative things; I find your lessons to be the best I've ever seen for really explaining and showing one how to do things. If the video is too long for someone, surely they can just advance it to the parts they want to see or stop it when they understand. We have control of our monitors... I do that. I may watch one all the way through and then go try the method and come back and move around in the video to parts I need to see again.
Thank you for your kind comments ❤
Kelly, I think you are wonderful. This anonymous internet age has enabled people to be mean to others in a way they wouldn’t or couldn’t if the other person was standing in front of them. There’s just something about the anonymity of that keyboard and the fact that they aren’t looking at the face of the poor person they are being mean to that has lead to a rash of incivility and a complete lack of concern for the feelings of others. Thanks so much for speaking for the silent and often bullied majority.
Thank you Bettie!
You are a great teacher and I loved the way started this video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your encouragement 😊
Kelly you are great! don't change a thing. You are doing a fantastic job!!!!
Thank you so much 🥰
That is so said that people react that way. We all learn in different ways but if all people you are very detailed and good at explaining everything. Please do not stop as unha e learned a lot from your videos and always look forward tontura. Doing a great job Kelly
Thanks so much Maria 😊
I need and appreciate your accepting and reassuring teaching. Thank you.
Thank you!
Hi Kelly. I write in response to your comments on people having different learning styles and on the negativity addressed to you in the comments.
For me, your teaching style resonates and I value all of the knowledge and encouragement you share on your various platforms. Thank you.
For those who post negative criticism here are my thoughts garnered over my lifetime (I am now in my 8th decade of life and learning😆):
If you have nothing nice (good, constructive) to say then don’t say anything at all. If you feel that a video or post needs to be different then by all means say so in a positive, constructive manner. Last, as Kelly has already said, if her presentations do not resonate with you, please find a different teacher and allow the rest of us to learn and enjoy.
Love this, thank you!
I love your videos, I am a learner that needs every detail and you give so much information that I totally understand everything you discuss.
That is wonderful to hear, thank you!
You could have ignored the negativity. Instead you addressed it with grace and common sense. Good for you!
I try to ignore it as much as possible, but I do get really tired of it!
You're the best Kelly! god bless you and keep on keepin' on!
Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and the exacting way you explain things. I’m very new to weaving and I’ve found your videos the most helpful. For those naysayers who say you go to slowly, just tell them to increase the playback speed. It would be a sad loss for them if they missed your terrific teaching style because of a lack of patience or understanding how to use TH-cam. I watch your videos multiple times and zip through the stuff I think I know then change back to normal speed for things that I need a bit slower. Please keep doing what you do.
Thanks so much Janet!
You are an awesome teacher and I've learned SO much from you! You've got a wonderful style and a wonderful person. I lurk more often that comment.
Thank you Miri, lurking is welcome too 😆
Thank you. You are the teacher and do you way it is beautiful please don’t change
Thanks Irena ❤️
Kelly, I've only watched a few of your videos, and I'm not even a weaver yet. I'm doing research in prep for buying a loom....😅 In any case, your videos are great, and you're so pleasant to listen to ! Please keep going exactly as you are - I look forward to watching more of your videos once I have my loom.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I’m new to your channel…sorry to hear about the negativity. I also want to be involved in post it I’ve, supportive communities as I’m sure most of your viewers do. You addressed it beautifully and I appreciate all the time you take to share with us newbies, thank you!
Thanks Jennifer!
Always better slow, with every step, as you do.
I'm glad you think so Cathy.
Kelly, you are fantastic and do the job great and I like to thank you for all your presentations I watched, so far thank you.
Thank you so much!
I have found your posts very helpful so thank you for everything
You are so welcome! 😀
I love your teaching style! If you would rush through your videos I guess there would be a LOT comments that you are too fast. Keep up the great work.
That's the thing, you just can't please everybody so I like to give a LOT of information rather than a LITTLE 😊
You are absolutely amazing ~ thank you for all your do ~ greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thank you! 😊
i think you are spot on!
Thank you! So many tips and reminders for me.
You're welcome!
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Kelly keep doing what you do so well. Love your tutorials. I like the way you explain things so comprehensively I need that type of tutorial. Try to ignore the naysayers (not easy i know). Sending hugs and positivity
