    I'm happy I found your video. I learned nore then just the chainless foundation chain, I learned where exactly to insert the hook which as an absolute beginner couldn't see it as clearly as here. Thanks for taking your time.

    I've watched several videos on the chainless foundation, but yours are definitely the best. Your explanations are very clear, thorough and easy to understand. I appreciate the effort you go to. Thank you.

    The absolute best.
    Finally someone realizes that using yarn can be a bit difficult to see/understand for newbies like me.
    THANK YOU!!!

    Wow, I didn't know it was possible to crochet without making that long chain. Your video is so easy to understand. Thank you so much. I can't wait to watch your other videos.

    Best tutorial I've found for the chainless foundation. Using the rope, made all the difference in seeing where I needed to placey hook. Thank you!!

    OMGOSH!! Maggie! Using the rope was an INGENIOUS idea!!!! I could actually CLEARLY see which stitches you were referring to when demonstratingin it!!! Thanks!!!!

    Some beginners struggling with foundation chains have watched these videos which are very helpful - commenting with kindness is also helpful for everyone. Please consider the needs of others and jump forward if a part is too basic for your level of skill.

  • @patricialmaplesrdn
    @patricialmaplesrdn 3 роки тому

    What an absolutely BRILLIANT idea for teaching this! The stitches are SO MUCH EASIER to see using rope instead of yarn. I have sifted through dozens of other videos, but could not make out where to go through with the hook. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  • @pattimobley2865
    @pattimobley2865 10 років тому +2

    I so much prefer a chainless foundation row (and have used a sc foundation for some time). I have a pattern that calls for a dc foundation and thought I could figure it out (and may have been able to) but decided I would look for a tutorial on a dc foundation row to be sure.
    What is so impressive about your tutorial is that I not only know how to do a dc foundation row...I now understand the theory behind it all. You did *such* an amazing job not only explaining the technique, but the why behind the technique.
    Standing O. You did an amazing job. Thanks for this.

    Finally, a video of chainless foundation I can understand and follow! I, like others, have watched several videos on this and this is the first one that truly helped and started out basic enough for me to follow. As a new crochet-er (previously a knitter) I needed an instruction that started at the VERY beginning and didn't use lots of shorthand terminology. Thank you for helping me finally understand this!!

  • @jeanicehillhouse5750
    @jeanicehillhouse5750 8 років тому +1

  • @msbrowneyes0164
    @msbrowneyes0164 10 років тому +1

    Thank you so much! I have searched and searched for one that I could follow. Using the rope was the best idea ever. I could clearly easily see and follow your directions. I had given up a Katniss Cowl Project because I could not follow her directions of a chainless crochet.

  • @ajinmyopinion
    @ajinmyopinion 10 років тому

    I have been forever to understand how this stitch works and the light just came on....Thank you! The instructions were so clear, I need to create at least 10 more scarfs in the next 45 days for a charity project and the foundation stitch will make it so much simpler for me.

  • @merrymary6542
    @merrymary6542 8 років тому

    @carriehenson652 8 років тому +6

    I am originally a knitter, and found a pattern that I wanted to try that was crocheted. The pattern had another video attached to it for the foundation double crochet, I tried it and she went so fast I couldn't see which loops to use and thin yarn so you couldn't see the stiches. Your video was awesome for explaining the stich, and using the rope helped show the different loops better than even a super bulky yarn would.

  • @Charlenedoesstuff
    @Charlenedoesstuff 11 років тому +5

  • @wyldeness

    Maggie! This was absolutely mind blowing to me! I've been crocheting, at an intermediate level, for some years now and I have never seen anything like this. The use of the rope was a very neat idea. It was easy to see the work being done. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @amiyamura9010
    @amiyamura9010 5 років тому

    Thank you for so clearly explaining (and describing how to tell) exactly which two strands to insert under. Other video said “to the left” which wasn’t useful. I’m recommending this video to my friends and keeping it as a reference video. Thank you so much!!!

    @PeggyJoB 7 років тому +12

    Number one, you do not talk too much. I am an experienced crocheter (about 50 years) and like the slower tutorials. Why? Because I try to do the stitches as the same time as you do. Thanks for this, I have to go back to it every single time I do a chainless foundations.

    Maggie, if my neighbor and I needed help figuring out something, I'd call to ask advise. The rope is an excellent prop too enlarge and sharpen to clearly show what the steps look like. No confusion on hook placement, amount of yarn on hook. Will be saving in a list of go-to's
