While looking for the right yarn to make a project today, I was at Hobby Lobby and a lady asked me if I crochet, which I told her I do. She was new to crochet and wanted to practice making stitches by crocheting a dishcloth. I led her to the I Love This Cotton. She wanted some help by watching how the stitches are made and I told her about your site, Crystal. She subscribed right away. I told her that you were a very good teacher and would teach her a lot about crochet

I love watching you. I can understand your teaching. November I found out I have a very rare cancer. Now when I go to check my bloodwork, now I am taking in crochet hats for the other patients. Winter is moving in and it’s really cold. When you don’t have hair it’s worse. And I made it in to Joann’s today and got some yarn. Thanks for telling us about the sale. Blessings to you and your family.

Thanks Crystal, for once again teaching an old dog another “trick”. What a great stitch! When I re-entered this wonderful world of crochet earlier this year with only the basic skill of simple sc & dc, never in my wildest dream would I ever dream I’d be able to do the stitches & projects you have taught me! Nor would I have thought that I could even anticipate your next move on a limited amount of these things. I can even watch some clips that show up on my Instagram of crochet & know what stitch they are showing with their music.😃 Amazing myself when I’m crocheting, that I no longer have to rewind your tutorial for the tenth time or refer to the pattern I bought just for back up, & I can just crochet with confidence & with sheer ease & enjoyment! Thank you sweet lady for sharing your time & talent with us! ❤❤

I like this one. Easy, fast, reversable, no stitch count needed, just chain to desired width. For this stitch though, like the moss stitch, I will use a bobby pin on the chain1 at end of rows. No missing them that way. And bobby pins work easier than stitch markers. 🙂

By watching your video, I you taught me a beautiful new crochet stitch; half double knot stitch. I had so much fun. You were a fantastic instructor. I was able to follow your instructions without much difficulty. The video was close to the camara and easier to watch your instructions. Your voice was slow and clear. I felt repeating the stitches was important while following your crochet technique. After following along with your instructions and finishing two rows, I was excited. It looked just like yours on the video. I agree it is a beautiful stitch. Thank you for sharing your video and instructions. I will continue my crochet half double, knot stitch, while continuing to crochet my blanket. After completing my project, I will present it to my family member, as a gift with pride 😅 Thanks to you. I am looking forward to watching your instructions again and learning how to crochet a border. Blessings and again thank you for your informative crochet video 🎉❤
