Agree. She does a great job of providing the background info you’ll need (a list of terminology) and then doing individual clips that clearly demonstrate and verbalize the process. As a former career teacher, I give her an A+ for effectiveness. 👏

So great! I am relearning to crochet. I did a baby blanket many years ago so I figured I should be able to do it again. My goal is to crochet blanket sets for premature babies. The finished projects look so adorable. Gives me something creative to do in crappy weather or when my husband is watching sports which is a lot of time at the moment. Thanks for your easy to follow steps. You are like a VERY patient home economics teacher.

@marianeculek3261 5 ай бұрын

I should have looked for you're video a while ago! I've crocheted blankets for years with stitches friends showed me (I'm 52) I started making hats and tops last year thanks to You Tube. The one question I was always unclear on was whether to stitch under one part or the whole "v" of a stitch. You did a great job explaining and your camera angles were right on!!!!! Thank you❤

Hi Miss Daisy! I'm a (middle aged soon-to-be Grandma) beginner crocheter from BC Canada and have been very grateful for the wonderful tutorials you've done. I'm busy making a little summer to using the starburst granny squares and I can't wait for it to be finished because it's going to be super cute! I'm noticing you haven't posted any recent video tutorials but sure hope you come back soon. I'll be looking forward to them! 👍🏻

I'm a brad new, as in today, to crochet. I came across you beginner video and thought I could do that only because you made so clear and simple and at a perfect speed. Not so slow it's annoying or so fast I couldn't follow. I have tried to learn before but gave because I couldn't understand or there weren't any good advancement videos. I fully understand "life" and truly pray you are doing well. Thank you for what you put out already. I'm thankful to hear about the new one. I pray God blesses you with peace, health, and all the other gifts I know he has for. Thank you again!
