. Great tutorial .

[@gobabe2396]

Hello and thank you. Excellent. You have done something very few do. Show us the product on you. And speak directly to us ! This allowed me us to focus on the instructor teaching. Bravo 👏🏼

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hi Gobabe! I appreciate your feedback. I do worry if the clarity of my tutorial is good enough. Welcome to my channel!

[@gobabe2396]

@@hooksknotslove1528 - I love crochet as well as Amigurumi. Some of the top “amigurumist” ( I made up that word) do not make a sound ! Can you imagine. I learned how to read crochet patterns from a Amigurumist artist. She teaches round by round. The Instructions are stated at the top of the screen at the start of each round. That was the beginning of how I learned to read a crochet pattern. I perfected it through studies and practice. So it doesn’t matter if the instructor speaks or not. It’s a matter of preference. I can follow either way. Your instructions are very clear. And you present the work clearer than anyone I have watched. I truly mean this. I have watched this video very carefully. It’s beautiful. You do not block your stitches while working. Now the volume. Obviously there was a technical issue. I don’t think you would take the time and energy to create something for the viewers- for us to not understand it. Some don’t realize just how much work goes into a project like making a you tube video. I have made very short clips of my projects , to send to family for recommendations or opinions. It’s not the easiest thing to do and takes time. I would not comment or criticize this tutorial, Because you are here to teach, and was probably aware. Please do not stop making videos. While I don’t need this type of instruction anymore, I do so enjoy watching them. Especially if it is a new stitch to me. It’s like making a project with friends. It’s 3 years now since I resumed crocheting. It had been decades of not knitting crocheting etc. I was wondering -why did I stop? Lol it’s so relaxing and therapeutic. And It’s rewarding to make something nice. I appreciate you Thanks again 🙏🏼☺️

@@gobabe2396 I just read tonight (actually it is 3am way pass my bedtime ...lol) You just don't know how much your input means to me. Video Editing DOES take time. Also, as you edit from your own personal computer, the volume is adjusted at your computer settings and not the viewers. My son is a tech and he said "momma you can't worry how the viewers hear. ... they have to adjust their volume" :) This video took over two weeks splicing ... inserting .... you name it. I had to go with what I thought was good enough for viewing. Currently working on my next tutorial project and I hope in due time, my video improves. Speaking of rewarding -- it feels good to know that someone out there appreciate what you do and get you. And once the project is done and completed -- it is gratifying!!! I am here to connect with other croheters whether they are advance or just starting out :) Thanks again!!! Merry Christmas!!!

I just got you in my feed...I love finding new crochet tutorial channels!! So awesome to join when you’re just starting out!!

Thank you Michelle! And Welcome :)

[@yolyrom7233]

I do too.

[@anjumsiddiqi3033]

Nice pattern! I just finished one with cables in crochet but it took me so much time. Now I will try this one. It look beautiful! Thanks for teaching us how to make it.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

I agree! I am glad you like it enough to try the pattern 🙂 I love beautiful hats/beanies especially ones that are so easy to do just like this one. I get too excited so I like simple patterns that I can do in two hours or less. Good luck and if you don't mind please do share a photo when you get done. By the way "Welcome to my channel!" and You are so welcome!!!

Love your hat and the color. You explain things very thoroughly which is nice. Maybe you should turn the music down a little bit would help. Have a great day💜🧶

Everyone should be able to use closed caption icon , then just block out the music . BTW i can hear her perfectly . Quit whining y’all 😊

Nice

Thanks Maria :)

[@lisacontreras9171]

What size hook are you using please?

Hello Lisa! In this project, I used Hook Size: I (5.5mm) Hook ... "I" as in Island :) Thanks for asking!

[@janetsutter5430]

You need to put some hay out in the nesting boxes. We did that with our hens. We had six hens and they were good layers.

[@zoilaadams4108]

I like your beanie😀 but your music is loud which makes it hard to hear what you're saying 🥺. Sorry 😐

[@linedanzer4302]

I agree. Mute the video and use the *closed captions.*

[@zoilaadams4108]

@@linedanzer4302 so true😊

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hi Zoila! I am made aware of that. Unfortunately, there's no youtube tools that can fix it. Sorry.

[@christinakorsak8438]

Why do you have such loud background if one reduces volume can’t hear instruction,

[@yolyrom7233]

The music is so distracting, unable to understand what you’re saying due to the volume of the music. Read your comment about the music feedbacks; thank you for being aware! Oh, and I really like the beanie, it’s so professional looking. I myself prefer a snug hat too. Thank you for your tutorial! Looking forward to more of your video tutorials!!

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Thanks Yoly :) I'm currently working on the next video tutorial. With Christmas quickly approaching -- it has taken a lot of my time and my goal was to have another video uploaded before Christmas ...lol. Wish me luck on that! (I have to wait 'til my son and hubby is at work -- it's quieter and I can concentrate and focus on the project better :) Welcome to my channel Yoly!! Thanks again for your feedbacks. Merry Christmas!!

[@beatricesangalli4730]

Nice pattern!! May i ask you which dimension is the yarn and the hook?

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Thank you for stopping by and for the compliment! I use 100% acrylic yarns by Big Twist. The dimensions are suited for adults. You may have to alter your project with your own circumference. Hope that helps.

[@olindafranceschetti4404]

Great video. Softer music would be better in order to concentrate on the stitches.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Thanks Olinda for your comment. I have a new video with softer music and a better camera as well. I did explain on my little video bio why the music is loud. My apology. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Merry Christmas!

[@noblumoon]

Nice pattern, why have music competing with your instructions?? Very distracting.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hello noblumoon. I have tried to adjust the music. Unfortunately, unless I redo the video there's no way to turn it down. As you probably have noticed by now, I am barely new to doing tutorial videos. I am learning :) Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback. Welcome to my channel!

[@noblumoon]

@@hooksknotslove1528 thank you for answering...keep in mind people want to see your nice work and hear your instructions. It's not just you, but others creating instructional videos seem to think they need music as a background, when no, it is totally unnecessary. Thank you for your work.

[@michellenash6802]

(Not sure what happened to my comment...??) Anyway, just letting you know I sub’d. Also...it would help A LOT if you could turn music down and your voice up. The instructions were good and the lighting, choice of yarn/backdrop, the zoom in of camera, were all good. (Things that most newbies get wrong...even some not newbies! Lol) unsure if you watch any other tutorial channels...but, Heart Hook Home; Bog O Day; Tamara Kelly (Moogly); MJs Off the Hook; and TCDDIY are just a few that do the video tutorials well (though TCDDIY could zoom in more to improve her technique). These would be good channels to learn from...esp Bag O Day, I believe her channel is the largest...but she does almost daily content, and a variety of content. Oh!! Hooked by Robin!!! She I’d excellent at tutorials!! She from England, but her camera/videography and tutorials are superb!! Def check her out if you don’t know her channel!! I’d dare say she n bag o day are neck-n-neck in that!

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hi Michelle! Thank you for subscribing! I'm learning my routes here on youtube. I will be mindful on the music with my next tutorial :) Welcome!!!

[@yolyrom7233]

There are other channels better than some of whom you’ve mentioned, js

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Oh thanks Michelle! I will definitely check those suggested tutorials videos you mentioned. I just bought a new gadget that can video overhead. So I am excited about that. I can finally a bit more comfortable at a table vs a couch. I learned my Magic Ring from Moogly :) I believe I am subscribed to Hooked by Robin -- just recenlty came across her video. I will definitely apply all of your suggestions with the volume. Thanks again! Merry Christmas!!!!

[@peggyharwell3674]

Sorry, but your music drowns out your verbal instructions

[@hooksknotslove1528]

All I can do is apologize to you personally that the video didn't meet your liking. I thank you for dropping in 🙂

[@dayneallensheetsftm]

I like the hat but the music is distracting and I can't hear you clearly. Too bad but it could be a good video otherwise.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hi Dayne. A few of my viewers have suggested turning off the music. I am looking into it. Thanks for giving my video a visit. Welcome!

[@annprice2127]

Please turn the music off. very distracting. other than that I like your video.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hi Ann! I will look into turning off the music. I have tried to adjust the volume but once it downloads from my phone app to youtube, it's pretty much uneditable. Thanks for being up front. I appreciate feedbacks to better my next tutorial :)

[@churchofthepresentation7966]

The music makes it hard to hear you.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Hello! I truly apologize. Once you upload a video, there's no way to edit the volume. Funny thing is that, I actually played back this video before I uploaded it and it sounded just fine but now I am fully aware. Thank you for stopping by :) Hopefully, despite of the music you are able to use my tutorial.

[@noblumoon]

@@hooksknotslove1528 the thing people who make tutorials should remember is that people watch to learn something, not to listen to music. Sometimes a very quiet soothing bakground music is OK, but hammering background music simply irritates and detracts from a positive learning experience.

[@doreenkrajewski9775]

Hat is beautiful. Music is so distracting.

[@hooksknotslove1528]

Well ... Thank You!! I love the hat. I made if for a friend's daughter. I agree with your comment on Music. Sorry about that. I appreciate your input, truly.

Turn off the noisy music too loud n annoying other that that great video.

What really spoils this video is that awful hammering music in the background. Just awful.
