[@Moxie351]

❤❤wow😊

[@Moxie351]

Gorgeous. I love the color. Missed you on the last live. 😂 You're the funniest one. You're just a sweetheart that is very talented. 😊

[@mariarichards8229]

Hello, Hello! I have no idea how I found you, but I'm so glad I did. I was looking for an easy shawl to make for a loved one. This one is perfect. Thank you

[@lindg83ify]

Love the way you talk as you are doing the project. Very soothing and relaxing.

[@Janet-fo6sg]

Thank you for this tutorial. The only way I can learn to crochet as I can't decipher written instructions. I am using your technique to crochet a prayer shawl.

[@angelaglikos3126]

I have been watching your tutorials for quite awhile and I just wanted to let you know that you really are a gifted teacher and have a great way of communicating with your followers! You have a gift! Keep up the amazing work you do! I am sure many people like myself have learned so much from you! God Bless!

[@crochetwithcindy]

Why do I love your tutorials and patterns?....let me count the reasons. First off, they are absolutely beautiful! I honestly haven't seen a tutorial of yours I didn't like. Secondly, you use yarns that are easily available to everyone. Next, you don't waste time demonstrating how to make stitches (hence making things very boring and frustrating) Your tutorials are "easy" but not "beginner". There is a difference, and you have that down pat! Thank you! Experienced crocheters like easy patterns, but don't need all the extra. I can just listen to your tutorials and follow along. I have made several of your shawl patterns and love them all!

[@cherylosborn8886]

Hi Craig, I too am a blind crocheter. I also appreciate your detailed narrative. Thank you so much! 😂

[@LindaGarrett-ob1if]

Mikey, I love you 😊 you're the best! I have been crocheting since I was 17 and I'm 69. Your beautiful work is a pleasure to do.🎉

[@dreaedwards9103]

Thank you for making these, I'm starting a prayer shawl ministry, and I think this shawl is perfect for what I was looking for. All of your tutorials are always easy to follow along and do. Thanks!

[@Just_Jillian]

❤ you are the Bob Ross of the Fiber universe!!! I adore your videos ♥️

[@k.s.k.7721]

These are my favorite tutorials. Not too fast or slow in explanation, a great view of the stitches and how/where they are placed, enough repetition of the rows and pattern; and the wonderful options/variations that are possible. Thanks for these!

[@jennyepreston1144]

Like your tutorials for prayer shawls use them for our group get lots of compliments on them.

[@cmartin836]

Thank you so much for this wonderful shawl pattern. I love your ability to teach so well and I really enjoy listening to you talk. Your crochet stitches are beautiful. Thanks again for everything!!

[@KindLovelyLife]

I've made granny merge blankets before, and just recently I was thinking it would be nice to make a shawl like this...and here you are! Perfect timing! Thank you!!

[@judyf3684]

Howdy Fiber Spider! I've heard that you are the shawl and hat guru/instructor extraordinaire, and I must agree! Thank you for this pattern..

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you for the great tutorial! Super easy to follow and beautiful end product. You have a new follower!😍

[@samanthak5831]

I do not understand how each shawl you make is more beautiful than the previous one. This is exquisite. Blessings

[@mirelapuicatantan6726]

I congratulate you for your talent, I appreciate your work, and I thank you for the beautiful models you give us. ❤

[@rosescrochet183]

Hello Craig! I am in the process of making this shawl for someone as I am sending this comment. You are truly a great online instructor. Your instructions are very easy to follow and that makes me want to continue following you. I’ve seen quite a few others that I am very interested in making as well. Thank you so much for sharing your craft! You are truly a gifted crocheter. 🌹

[@zelmabotha1880]

Craig, finally I am going to do this shawl.thank you for your lovely tutorials

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

**WOW! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS PATTERN 💝💝💝! THE HAND DYED MERINO TOOK MY BREATH AWAY 💝💝💝! I WAS LOVING THE FIRST YARN BUT MAN YOU BLEW MY MIND WHEN YOU PULLED OUT THE HAND DYED MERINO! THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS 😊💝💝💝!!! YOU ARE AWESOME 😊💙💙💙!!!*

[@NoBodyKnows514]

It reminds me of something I tried in your Starburst shawl. I was following the tutorial and then decided to try a few peek holes and it kinda came out similar to this. I really love your work and I've tried following other tutorials, but your voice is the most soothing for my adhd and hypersensitivity to sound so I always come back to your videos 💕 thank you!

[@LesleyAbbott-z8k]

I love your way of teaching and your friendly manner. Keep on doing what you do.

[@dianeedge7465]

Just love your crochet tutorials , clear , precise ,fun and you explain yourself so well , manty thanks for all the happy hours of crochet and the lovely results !

[@kristinlaspina9967]

Beautiful demonstration and yours is so easy to follow. I've tried so many, but this is the best tutorial. Big thank you ❤

[@lynnjaynes3452]

Absolutely love this pattern. Beautiful colors and stitching. I was able to work along with you Thank you.

[@vikkiarmsworthy2617]

I love your work, your patience and your sense of humor ! Here is my attempt at your beautiful pattern ,, I added a cross stitch ❤

[@vikkiarmsworthy2617]

Ah well I can't send a pic 27:07

[@Judyunknown1]

I thank you very much for showing how to crochet this beautiful pattern I was able to follow your instructions .Only hope I can finish this shawl.

[@katieos1457]

I love your videos.... could listen to you all day and crochet...... if you could go to row 15 in your patterns would be good as repeating helps us remember :)

[@doristucker4061]

Beautiful Fiber l love this pattern and I love all of your videos.

[@gkondracki3724]

Thank you for your lovely work and demonstration. It was so helpful and useful for me. Thanks and keep up your wonderful work and demonstrations of tour helpful skills.

[@deborahb.7222]

I hope you're proud of yourself! I donate 9/10ths of what I make. A friend gave me yarn that she didn't like (neither do I), but they are 3 colors not full equal skeins. I had started a shawl in a plain old granny stitch & got a fair way through. I saw this video & started it with another yarn. The other shawl just looked boring, so I am now in the process of taking it out! LOL. I really want to maybe try one of the variations you talked about. Thanks, as always, for your great tutorials.

[@adafloyd2705]

Your shawl was very easy to follow. Thank you. I will send picture when done.

[@lynnemiranda1728]

You are awesome! Really like the way you do your videos. Doing it once and then doing the pattern again. Me.....I follow the visual. Have never been able to follow a written pattern. I do write down each row for me to remember. Like you, I love the none stress , as you say EASY PEZZY . THANK YOU

[@lindagarrettgarrett4419]

Luv ya, Michael! My son has that name. I discovered you on KZbin and love your tutorials so much. I stay home, and it seems crochet is what I live for lol. You are my favorite tutor because you are so meticulous at explaining the patterns . I started crochet when I was 17. It's been a few decades 😏

[@kannylane9597]

I absolutely loved it! I'm making one right now. Thank you so much, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I'm keeping this one but I'm definitely making one as a Christmas present for my mother in law.

[@lenninewilson4418]

This shawl is on my hook at the moment. I just love the easy flow of this shawl.

[@cristinapalacios7446]

Your an awesome teacher ! so thorough and patient :) I appreciate it- novice stitcher here!

[@retrogal8888]

Hi Spidey, I started granny virus then changed to granny merge after first rows of granny. Really lovely....love your projects. You make me a Star!!!

[@traciwesthoff4759]

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm starting one now that will be a prayer shawl that my group donates to people. You are so easy to follow and enjoy listening to you!

[@theclassicrockperson]

Ha! I thought the thumbnail was mandala spirit! I just finished a plain granny shawl with that yarn. Thank you for this pattern, it really is one of those auto pilot patterns that are simple yet still visually appealing.

[@sofiablakey6454]

Love & appreciate all your tutorials! Currently I’m working on the ripple blanket which my daughter saw & loved. You never complicate the work. And your explanations are so helpful. Thank you so much!🤩🤩🤩😁😁😁💕💕💕

[@evelyngonzalez5223]

Beautiful! Although I have never commented before, I enjoy watching your tutorials very much. You explain very clearly the patterns and you encourage your followers to go beyond the pattern. Thank you for sharing❤❤

[@loriegonta3622]

I will have to try this one next. Thank you. I love your tutorials.

[@barbaraculwell4812]

I love the pattern and the mandala you used. The colors are so nice. Definitely want to make this.

[@janiceprice1602]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, you explain things so clearly. X

[@silvershadow013]

The rust coloured shawl is GORGEOUS! By coincidence I am making this pattern as we speak! I just finished a plain granny shawl and wanted a little different stitch. Much love!❤

[@CyndiG-rv3iq]

Thank you for this tutorial!!! My shawl is beautiful, I am using to snuggle up and read ❤📚

[@KHiggsBham]

Thank you for your excellent tutorials. Your work is so beautiful and looks so complicated, but you give just the right amount of instruction. I don’t have to sit through you explaining how to make a slip knot, but you make every stitch right along with me, so I can tell if my work is matching yours. Plus, your extra tips are invaluable!

[@sandimichaels2324]

Thank you fiber spider for this ltutorial and the the easy breeze shawl tutorial. I am making this one 1st and the other one next for xmas presents. So thank you again.

[@LaClairEtoile]

[@blancamontes33]

I started and unraveled a shawl attempt several times because I did not like the way the project was looking with the yarn choice. Then I saw your video and “Ahhhhhhhhhh” it was a perfect fit. Thank you for this tutorial. My shawl is amazing ❤️🥰

[@heidigeib2660]

Thank you for sharing. I love making your items & always get compliments. You are an awesome teacher.

[@normastufflebean267]

Wow love this pattern. Needed a break from a busy afghan I'm Making. Easy no pattern to follow. Using Caron skinny cake. Ty spider

[@heartspace8]

I ended up buying different color cake skeins "just because they were on sale"! And I have been looking for a pattern that would require only 1 skein! This is just a wonderful pattern and I love that you don't go too fast nor too slow. Looking forward to beginning my shawl. Thank you - you're a great teacher!

[@laurelgirard8475]

Surprised no one thought of it before! Terrific!!

[@erikamellis8023]

I loved making this shawl! I am a visual learner, and beginner crocheter, but your tutorials make me look so good!

[@betsey96]

Just gotta say, been trying to figure out how to do merging for ages and your tutorial has been a life saver! Also can I say listening to you gives me such Bob Ross energy and can't explain it 🤣 will definitely be checking out your other videos!!

[@roserenik6375]

Great instructor, easy to follow with beautiful yarn.

[@TheLemerys]

I love your videos! I’m self taught and still learning to crochet. Your instructions are easy to follow and have used several of your videos for shawl patterns. Thank you so much! I love to crochet because it gives me a break from my busy day and helps calm me down. It’s relaxing to crochet.

Love this shawl! Looks fun to make! Can't get enough peeks at that gorgeous orange one! That just screams Fall!!!

[@wolfsquaw09]

Outstanding instruction, as always! This is why I love you and always head to your channel first❣️

[@nhjaydee]

WOW...such an easy peasy pattern but with so many ways one can change it up! LOVE LOVE LOVE It....I started mine using Red Heart Super Saver Ombre in 'sutherland stripe' with a K hook....and it is coming out SUPER WONDERFUL....as SUPER WONDERFUL as you are as a teacher! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Craig, for another awesome tutorial!!! :)

[@Sharoncat2008]

Thanks for the quickly shared tutorial of this shawl. I love it and funny thing is I have and use the same exact H, blue hook you are using. I think it's a Clover which is easier on my old, arthritic hands, so I'm ready to go. Have a great weekend and I'm going to attempt this today since I've been on a brief hold on crocheting and it's almost like a drug habit. Crocheting is my drug, lol. Have a great weekend. Big hugs to you.

[@docgregg2]

Thank you for the lovely shawl tutorial! It is gorgeous. I can’t wait to make it. I am going to check my stash today.

[@trishh9219]

I am working on this now. This is my second shawl from your patterns. I love your videos. Thank you!

[@marjie8959]

This tutorial is amazing already planning a big shawl as the tester I made looks awesome

[@virginiasomerville1195]

Thank you. I appreciate your careful descriptions. It always makes sense.😍

[@kathrynjuliegreatbatch1594]

Having such fun with this shawl, I'm taking you at your word, and playing with these rows lol. Thanks Craig 😍😍 xx

[@avisbrown7957]

I took your rectangle granny with the 2 loops and adapted it to do the merge granny. I also do it on a hexagons. This is my favorite pattern since Thanksgiving. I did several blankets for Christmas and a gift for a baby shower.

[@auntie44m]

Fabulous, perfect design for mandala colourway. Can’t wait to start. Thank you.

[@rebeccalockhart5244]

Wow, really love this pattern! Can’t wait to try it! Take care and stay safe and be kind to yourselves forever and always as well as others.

[@debbiechase7762]

Love the color way on the finished shawl. The blueberry is nice also.

[@Jayneswoolandbuttons]

This is amazing. I’m adding it to my list to make. It would make a fabulous blanket too, by making 2 shawls and joining them together, by either crochet or sewing.

[@CanadianMum444]

♥️love this tried and true! Thanks for everything you do dear Craig.🌷
