    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has hair in their crochet...I always tell my daughter if she ever needs any of my DNA for any reason just look in something I crocheted......there is sure to be plenty of my hair woven in it.

    I've only done one project using cables. I made your men's pullover sweater, used dk weight yarn, and it was prefect size for a woman's small. But I thought I was doing something wrong because of those gaps. Because of that, I haven't done any more cable projects. This technique is the perfect solution!! Now I won't be afraid to do cables!! Thank you!

    Well I quit crochet on the spot 1 1/2 years ago because my granddaughter lost her baby at birth. He was who I was mainly doing all for. But now I guess I am sort of over the main pain and will start making things for others again. I used to watch almost all your videos but just shut them all out. Back to watching again because I love what you teach.

    Absolutely brilliant! There are times where the holes are desireable, but there are definitely times when they are not. This is such a simple way to resolve the hole issue that I can't believe I never thought of it, LOL! It's always exciting when you've been crocheting for almost 50 years to learn something new. This is why I love your channel! Thank you! 💜
