    This is the best crochet tip I have ever seen. The look of my work is starting to be very professional. I thank you very, very much not just for the great tip but also for your generosity in sharing it with all of us. Some people might not want to share a tip this good but the fact that you did just shows what a kind and generous person you are! I wish you all success.

  • @lifeofchasingdreams
    @lifeofchasingdreams ปีที่แล้ว

    The amazing thing about this method is when doing a border or finished edge you have two chain spaces to go into! Takes the guessing out of where to put them! Love it!

    @dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    SO EASY!! Fantastic tip, I love this. I also appreciate your straight-to-the-point nature of the video, and the bright color of the yarn against the white background- that greatly helps us viewers see what you're showing us, even in low-res (I did up mine to mid-res. for even better viewing). Thank you so much.

    @cateberthelet1528 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is absolutely GENIUS!! This will be especially good for making stuffed crochet items. I have always gone around the seams with a warning needle and yarn to 'close up' all the gaps but will no longer need to do this. THANK YOU!!!!
