I guess I am intermediate. I am 84 and first crocheted at the age of 5. It keeps me sane. This being said, I have made it a practice to learn something new every month. And….i love you to pieces. Thank you so much.
I’ve only been crocheting for two years. I want to let you know that every pattern I’ve done following you, I’ve completed. You are one of the best teachers I have found. Just wanted to say thank you.
I have been crocheting for 54 years. I am still learning. I learn the most from you Mikey. So it doesn't matter how long a person has been crocheting. It's wanting to learn different things. I am learning about texture. I have never done a front post crochet until l started watching Mikey. You are an inspiration Mikey to everyone.
I too have been crocheting over 50 years. Still learning which I love. I don’t like to repeat patterns. I prefer new challenges. Mikey is excellent at getting us through challenges. I never read diagrams before Mikey led us through them on one of the cruises where we only had diagrams😳 for the multi over layered pattern … yikes. But now I recently completed a huge pineapple doily in thread via a diagram! Thanks Michael Sellick for the journey
I do agree with you. Sometimes I just want a simple project with no thought involved, sometimes more thought is ok…. I sometimes do 2 projects at the same time and pick up what I’m in the mood for?
I am 11 years old and consider myself as a advanced intermediate crocheter I have learned so much from this channel even though I have only been watching for a week or so
I've been crocheting for almost 40 years, and while I "can" do the advanced work I much prefer to be an easy hooker *wink* and intermediate when I feel like something a little more complex. I always love your videos and the way you talk like we are right there with you having a conversation. Thanks for all you do to keep the craft alive!
I'm advanced, but I prefer intermediate and easy patterns most. A lot of my skills are thanks to you personally! Especially reading charts, I really owe you for that. My favorite things about your tutorials is that they all have charts and written patterns to follow along, and that you spend a few minutes explaining the pattern and what it entails before starting the stitching. It really helps me decide whether I want to do the project or not before wasting any time getting started only to realize it's not my vibe, as I'm not always in the mood for certain stitches or counting.
I crocheted for many years but followed patterns. When I started watching crochet designers on UA-cam I start learning new things. I also saved a library of stitches so that I can go back and learn new stiches when I want. And sometimes I don't always remember how to do a new stitch and by saving the videos I can go back and refresh memory.
I find many UA-cam crocheters say a pattern is for beginners when it has color changes, stitch changes or intricate stitches (using many rows in the stitch). I understand they want the viewers, but it’s frustrating for new and beginners. I’ve been crocheting more years than many of these UA-camrs have been alive. Lol! But I spent many years making afghans. I’ve been making cardigans for about 3 years. So I had to start kind of at scratch ina sense. Doing top down sweaters is a blast! I am advanced, but struggle with memory problems due to my health. It just takes me a little longer to catch onto something new. Thanks Mickey for all you do and for being you!,
Saying a project is beginner on UA-cam creates clicks and views. So it's an easy way to gain new followers but what becomes clear if the host is doing this and it's not beginner, it ruins reputations.
I have been crocheting for about 10 years. I have learned that crocheting has come a long way from when I first started. I love working with you but it is this one blanket I can not get. Lol but I will keep trying I don't like to give up. Thank you
I’ve been crocheting since Covid lockdown and still class myself a beginner. Listening to your definition I think I’m actually intermediate woohoo 🥳 thanks Mikey. I do still like to drop into the easy patterns sometimes though when I just want to relax and have some crochet therapy. You are the perfect host Mikey
Thank you for explaining the standards for grading "easy" to "advanced". When I was beginning, I stumbled when I'd get a pattern that said "easy" but I hadn't learned all the stitches themselves yet. So even though the pattern was easy on an engineering level-- how many repeats, how it was shaped--- if I didn't know all 8 stitches involved to make the pattern it was less than relaxing. Of course, once I mastered it and rose to the challenge I was so proud! Like you say, it's the zen of the journey and the learning :)
I think I'm a little over easy 😊 I definitely agree with you when learning crochet you have to find the right person, someone you can make friends with in your head to help you develop more toward advancement.
I'd say I'm intermediate to advanced. I've done at least one yearly CAL with you for the last 5 years. I love learning new stitches and get bored easily so I stay away from most easy patterns. I must say, Mikey, that I'd never have gone from beginner to where I am now without your help. You work is amazing and your teach style is EXACTLY what I need.
I started my crochet journey March of 2021 with a granny square blanket that I found a tutorial for on UA-cam. I did another blanket from Kristin Omdahl, then I found your 'Flower in the Square' pattern and tutorial. Because of you and your gift for teaching, I went from beginner to intermediate relatively quickly. It was my no means easy though!! I think I stopped and started that flower in the square tutorial a million times 😂 until one day, it clicked. The light bulb 💡 came on. Thank you Mikey for all that you do for the crochet crowd. 💙
I have been crocheting for several years but didn't realized how much I depend on crochet for dealing with every day stress. I spent over a month in hospital with Covid and one of the first thing I wanted to do was create something peaceful, I picked up the yarn and life was better. It took me a few weeks to get my crochet groove on , thank you for all your video they have inspired me so much.
Hi Mikey, I started crocheting 3 years ago. I watched a lady on yt to show me the basics and how to make a simple baby blanket. I wasn't getting it. Then I stumbled upon your channel. I was able to understand your style of teaching and when I completed the baby blanket, I wanted to keep learning more. You taught me how to read patterns and graphs as well. Thank you so very much. You are amazing. 🙂💗
I love your humor and naughtiness. I consider myself a beginner, just because I haven't crocheted anything in 15 years - I've been watching your videos to update myself and I've learned a lot - but I'm seriously thinking about making your pattern Autumn and Comfort Log Cabin Blankets. Wish me luck!
I feel like I’m in the easy phase of learning how to crochet. I’ve been teaching myself for the past year and a half on UA-cam. Thanks too people like you.❤
I consider myself between easy and intermediate. I’ve done many intermediate level patterns but only with some assistance of your tutorials. I’m currently working on an easy level pattern - Baby Shower Blanket 😊
I started crocheting 8 months ago. I learned by watching UA-cam. Im a nurse , which can be quite stressful. Crocheting helps me de-stress after a tough day at work. Easy level seems to be my sweet spot. It feels like meditation and usually helps me sleep. I just love the colors and textures of working with yarn. I appreciate the information I get from channels like this. I didn't realize that a yarn council existed. I'll look into that.
I learned by reading patterns. My sister, who is 16 years younger than me, loves graphs. I was like, huh? A crochet graph!!! You have been teaching me so much about graphs. The graph was especially helpful when we did the Fall Mandala. Thank you!
You're the best, Mickey. I've liked you for a long time, but a the age of 66, I've recently come out. So, now this is a place of comfort, navigating new waters as I am. Thanks for being on UA-cam. ❤
I've only croched for 18 months, but can work along with all of your tutorials, because you explain everything so well. I agree with you that you have to find the right person to follow and thats you for me. Getting there with reading the patterns. Thanks for all your help. Happy St. Patrick's Day frim Ireland.
Thanks so very much for explaining how the patterns are categorized. I’ve been crocheting off and on for 50 years and found myself frustrated because I’m still choosing beginner and easy patterns. My comfort zone - brain and hands - simply wants to enjoy the journey! I am trying to jump into non-comfortable areas now to learn more. This video just reminded me that it’s ok to struggle when learning something new! Thanks, I definitely needed that reminder! You are my go-to crochet teacher! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
First of all thank you for all of the tips, some wonderful patterns and most of all the inspiration! I’ve done expert patterns for years, but your videos still teach me many new things.
Thank you for the encouragement Mikey! I’m aways happy with how my finished projects turn out when I follow your tutorials, and I love how you include the pattern, diagrams, and stitch counts in each one. I’ve learned all I know about reading patterns and diagrams from you! Thank you so much!!! I’ve been crocheting for what seems like forever… But I agree with you… The projects I enjoy the most and keep me engaged are ones where I’m learning something new and pushing my limits… But I have times where I just want to quickly finish a few things so feel like I’m getting more done and so I will choose a pattern that is “Easy” but I’m comfortable in the intermediate level and I’m working to improve my advanced level skills… Clothing is so hard even if the pattern is simple just because I want it to fit the person I’m making it for perfectly and that often means quite a bit of fiddling to get it just right… Where it fits them and the finished product meets my personal standards (🤔 I’m a tad OCD and perhaps a bit of a perfectionist 🤭) But I like to think of every project I crochet as a work of art made by hand with deep love… I don’t ever make anything randomly I always have someone specific in mind when I’m making something and I enjoy the process of making it and thinking about that person with every single stitch!
I consider myself an intermediate crocheter. I love to learn new things and will find some advanced crochet patterns I can handle. I love texture! Thank you for bringing me along on my crochet journey! Hugs 🤗. Robin
You are so funny and warm spirited. At times I have difficulties with patterns but watching and “listening” ( I’m hearing impaired so this is actually Closed Caption) is so helpful. Also, a video can be slowed down, stopped, started, reviewed more than once and I have also used what is written in a pattern, or a graph while listening to you and that works brilliantly for me if I’m personally confused. Thank you for all you do for the community. Hooks up, hookers! We’ve got this!
I learned to crochet in October 2019. I learned by watching UA-cam videos. I have just ventured into the intermediate level work. My latest project was the hugs and kisses baby blanket. It was easy and fun!! It kept my interest with the variety of stitches! Love it! Thank you Mikey!
You are so adorable! I think I am intermediate, I started crocheting when I was 9 yo. My Mammaw and Godmother Marie taught me to do chains and how to basically hold and make slip knots. I picked it back up when I was in my early 20's when my friend and a lady I was taking care of taught me to sc, dc, change colors, and make a chevron afghan blanket. Than in my early 40's I really dug in and watched you, and Mrs. Bod two of my favorite YT's and have learned soooooo much more and have made in the last 7 years countless crochet projects from hats to cardigans to puppets, dolls, amigurumi, valences, and soooo much more! Thank you so much sensei for relighting my flame for crochet and making it into a huge bonfire for me!! Thank you so much xoxoxo Ginger xoxoxo
I think of myself as an advanced crocheter. While I like doing easy and intermediate patterns, I also like the advanced ones. I love learning new stitches and techniques. Your tutorials are always a help and make the patterns so much easier to navigate. Thank you Mikey. ❤
I love you Mickey, because foe me, you are one of the best instructors. I think I'm between easy and intermediate at this point in my journey. I've had only one problem with a pattern you posted that I've tried and it was a girl's outfit that looked like a two piece but was actually one piece. I wasn't ready then. Keep hooking my friend.
This was great. I was a beginner 2yrs ago when I started following you. I consider myself an intermediate now. Each stitching journey is like a person. Some parts are easier to understand than others. I've put something down, because it was hard for me, and come back later to successfully complete it. Hopefully, that person will have patience with themselves. Relax and enjoy the journey. ❤
Starting my third year crocheting, I would consider myself and advanced beginner. With the help of your tutorials (love the diagrams) I can be confident on stitches and patterns out of my comfort zone!! Thank you Mikey for being you!!!❤️
When I started crocheting, I wanted to make everything that was just way to difficult for me and I was so frustrated!! Then I watched a video, wish I could remember who it was, but the advice I got was that the more you practice, the better you get... I followed the advice and every day I practice new stitches, watch UA-cam videos and it inspire me so much. Thank you for your inspiration and advice it is priceless!! ♡
I did some crochet in my 20's, but my free time went away and the project was never finished. I am...well...older now, decided to try crochet again this past winter and have been loving it! Friends that do a LOT of crochet and knitting have complimented me on my work, so I guess I am doing okay. Many of the Beginner patterns became a bit boring for me, the Easy patterns providing a bit more challenge and I just finished your Show Time Crochet Hat, my first Intermediate project. I have been holding off on starting this project for weeks, but finally decided it was time. I am very happy with the finished product. I am with you on skill levels. I like a challenge here and there, love learning new stitches and methods, but often I just want to stitch and relax rather than count stitches! UA-cam has allowed me to watch and learn, making it much easier to know where to put that next stitch. Reading and crocheting from a pattern would not be easy for me at this point.
I've been crocheting since I was 8 or 9. I agree with you that sometimes I just want an easy pattern that stays in my head so I can just sit back and get into it. I'm between intermediate and advanced, but easy and intermediate are my favorites. I have multiple channels that I pull from. Yours is new to me, this video popped up as a suggestion. I like your humor a lot, so I will be checking you (and your channel) out. Thanks! 😁
Thank you for being a great instructor! I have learned so much from you during my first six months of crocheting. I learned by watching and I started crocheting to relax while sitting with my Husband in the hospital during the last few months of his life. I have completed projects that remind me of time spent with him. Thanks Mikey,💋
When I first started crochet is such a cool time for me. My bestie's Mom passed apprx 11 yrs ago. She had an enormous supply and offered it all to me, if I wanted to learn n would use it. And thats what I did. First going on utube and thats where I found you. I've completed many of your tutorials. My favourite big job was the granny square queen size blanket which included your tutorial on how to put it together. I thought it came out beautiful. I rarely do clothing and lean toward Afghan n doily. My skill level hovers btwn beginner n intermediate. I am still learning so much after all these yrs. Im sending a big Thank you to you! And thank you for all your time n patience spent teaching subs like myself. All the best to you🙂
You are so funny! 😆 When I first watched a couple of your tuitorials I thought "what the heck, I can't follow this guy". Oh how wrong I was! As I have watched more of you and all of your videos I have come to love watching you! You have such a cool sense of humor you always make me smile. Keep it up Mikey! ❤️
I am a beginner to intermediate and I appreciate your talking speed. Remind you viewers that they can slow down the video if they are struggling to keep up.
Never figured out the level I'm using..reached the stage where I see a pattern and before it's done have changed it several times..or see a pattern I like but end up making my own version..love using thread but will do yarn designs..mainly I enjoy crocheting holiday ornaments for family or friends...it makes me so happy to find guys are making videos and designing masterpieces..its not just a girl thing anymore..and men find this relaxing and challenging,too..bless you Mickey for showing anyone can make beautiful thoughtful projects to share!❤
You’re great! I am a talker, and I tend to over explain; so, sometimes we have problems listening to each other when we over explain. I believe that you’re just the perfect person to explain things for me as far as crocheting.
Mikey, you are the best host for me! The way you teach is the way I get things. It is nice that you go along with diagrams and the written pattern. I too am a fast talker, so I’ve no problems following along. You always manage to make me laugh and these days, we could always use one of those! Thanks for this video, I now know I am at an intermediate level.
I like to dive between levels. In all honesty, I do your projects, because you make me laugh so much, sometimes I can’t even see the stitches because I’m am crying with laughter. I especially love it when you are in your naughty cheeky mood… 😂🤣😆💕 You are an outstanding crochet tutor…
I used to crochet as a teenager, then again after I had my daughter. That was 40+ yrs ago. I started watching you tube videos when the pandemic started. I feel I'm easy and intermediate. I have a hard time reading patterns but I try. I have made tops and sweaters from videos even on my own without a video or pattern I've made tops for my grand daughter. I enjoy crocheting very much, now I'm making blankets some with videos, others on my own using stitches I have learned. I enjoy doing overlay crocheting!! Thank you for all your lessons!!
You are so funny and warm spirited. I’ve been with you for a number of years and have made a few projects. You have introduced me to new stitches and definitely new designs. At times I have difficulties with patterns but watching and “listening” ( I’m hearing impaired so this is actually Closed Caption) is so helpful. Also, a video can be slowed down, stopped, started, reviewed more than once and I have also used what is written in a pattern, or a graph while listening to you and that works brilliantly for me if I’m personally confused. Thank you for all you do for the community. Hooks up, hookers! We’ve got this!
I was so in love with your yarn balls I could barely concentrate on you. Lol. Jealous!!!! 🥰 I consider myself an intermediate crocheter but I enjoy all levels. If I had to pick a favorite level it would be intermediate.
I started knitting 40 years ago and have been crocheting just 6 years. Even the most advanced knit project pattern is far easier to read than even an "easy" crochet pattern. The first year I crocheted I made the Christmas snowflake afghan that Mike demonstrated here and it turned out gorgeous. I followed his UA-cam tutorial to a "t." So when I crochet, I don't usually read a pattern. I either follow the video or the stitch chart that Mike provides. I'm a retired school teacher of 43 years here. So the biggest group of learners are those who are visual learners coupled with minimal reading. Only 8-10% of a group learn exclusively through reading! Keep up the great tutorials!
I loved how you explained the different levels. I had beginner, advanced beginners ,intermediate and advanced classes for students both left and right hook. It was so much fun. I learned diagram symbol years later when my grandmother paternal side gave me patterns from overseas. My maternal grandmother taught me how to crochet stitches and gauge but she did not have education to read patterns. She just looked at something and made it. Watching you has brought so many memories up . Tyfs. I decided to subscribe.
I consider myself easy to intermediate. Same as others, sometimes I’m in the mood to challenge myself, other times I just want to crochet. I don’t like fussy things so I steer clear of more complicated projects. Thanks for all you do!
Mikey, YOU are the reason I haven't given up on learning to crochet! Your videos are so amazing. I love the way you walk through the pattern with stitch alongs. You are so funny too, I often laugh out loud at things you say off the cuff. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! I just finished the LLama No Drama, I am currently making the Fat Cat Stuffie and a few other projects from watching your videos. Be well!!
You are the one for me. 😁 I just found out that this is my thing for anxiety and quieting the racing mind at the end of the day and I am grateful that you are a click away.
I have been Crocheting for over 40 years. I had a babysitter teach me how to chain and double crochet in rows. I made a blanket for my Cabbage Patch kid with her scraps. (yes, I still have both!) She showed me how to do a granny square because she couldn't read herself. In third grade, I found a book with photos at the library and taught myself how to read patterns. Even though it's all supposed to be "standardized through the industry" I still struggle with some patterns. I'm definitely intermediate+. With your help, I'm learning to read diagrams. But I usually have to SEE you demo the stitches to be able to understand and visualize where the pattern is going. I have learned SO MUCH from you over the years. Thank you for continuing to challenge yourself and take us with you along the journey.
I started crocheting again after around thirty or so years of not crocheting. I started a couple of years pre COVID-19 and you are one of the first host I watched. You actually helped me to remember how to hold the yarn again. I had forgotten. I will always be grateful to you. I now crochet so many things again. I can even read most patterns because of watching your tutorials. Your explanations are easy to understand, they were for me. I watch different people but I have 5 favorites, lol and you are one of them😊.
I can't wait to dive further into your tutorials. I love how you talk to us like friends. And if I need to, I can always stop a video and go back. And you'll never get tired of having to repeat yourself for this beginner/easy level crocheter. ; )
First, I want to say thank you for your videos. I am self taught, and wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have wonderful teachers like you. That said, this video was wonderful. My daughter has been telling me that I am an intermediate crocheter but I still think of myself as an advance beginner. BUT, after this video I realized I AM an intermediate crocheter. And like you, I LOVE learning new stitches and techniques. Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful. Oh, and I love you using diagrams. Sometimes they make more sense than following a pattern. I like using both together.
I'm a solid intermediate but, as you said, I challenge myself with advanced patterns. But whatever the pattern is, when I get stuck or frustrated, I turn to you, Mikey. You've never failed getting me through a pattern and getting to the point where I complete a project. You're an excellent instructor and a little saucy...which always makes me laugh! Thank you for all the lessons!!! 🧶❤️
That is so true !! Not everyone crochets the same . Easy for me might be an advanced and for some a beginners pattern. Sometimes the teacher gets you , other times I have to “ scavenge” around for another teacher. It’s like being in school you loved your Science teacher, but 40% did not. I hear you ! 👍❤️
Thank you for all you do! Mikey you taught me how to crochet! Many of the projects I pick are because I like the way the finished pattern looks. My very first project was an advanced project. Friends I know who had been crocheting for at least 20years said it was too advanced for me. So I came to UA-cam to learn and was blessed to find you! Finished the football blanket for my nephew. He loves it with its uniqueness! 😎
I love, love, love your tutorials! I am relatively new to crochet and find your easy going nature so calming. Please, please continue making your tutorials I've learned so much! Keep making us smile with your sense of humour and don't change a thing!
Hi, when I first learned learned to crochet I wanted easy so I either did a single or double crochet. I then learned a granny square. That was it. I made projects in DC. I got tired of it and took a break which turned out to be 20 years. I learned a lot of new stitches. It is thanks to Mikey that I love t o crochet!!
Just picked up a hook that's how new I am. You are my first video that I saw and have learned single crochet so far. I know not much but I'm sticking with it. Thanks for being here.
Been crocheting and knitting for 17 years. I remember my first few knit projects. First was beginner striped scarf, then an advanced type of sweater that only took me 2 months to finish. Crochet, I went straight to advance based on what I already knew about knitting.
Your the best host mickey. I love love love all your tutorials, they are the best ever. I've completed so many of them just by watching and listening to you. You really are the best. Don't ever stop doing what you do. It's a pleasure to be part of all your projects. A fellow avid crochetier. Thanks for all of it mickey. I appreciate you and all the effort you show in all your tutorials. Carol x
I learned to crochet thanks to all the wonderful "tutors" of UA-cam. One of your patterns and tutorial was my first big project. Big thanks to you Mikey.
I think you are the best teacher. I have made an afghan with you which was a challenge, but I learned so many new stitches. I loved doing it. It encouraged me to try another one, but with a different company and teacher. The pattern and teacher are stressful. I won't use them again. I will be back to do another afghan with you. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
More then 10 years ago (think maybe even in the beginning of your channel) you thought me to crochet, I'm still super grateful for your video's back then that managed to teach me crochet and gave me a yarn hobby and a way to relax. Made many people happy with gifts through the years. I want to thank you for doing all you do. Woolly hug from the Netherlands
Been crocheting for 3 yrs now & being left-handed (was thrilled to find ur tutorials!), I have learned so much from you & have made many of ur well-explained patterns! Thank you for all your creativity, talent & sense of humour!
Ahhhh Mikey! Thanks to you I count myself as advanced but I tend to stay in the intermediate or easy level depending on my mood/ideas. You are my absolute go-to for all things crochet and you taught me just about everything I know. I LOVE these informal videos where your amazing personality just radiates through the screen! You are a pisser! Thanks for all the years and all your hard work and dedication.
I am beginner getting towards easy. I used to crochet in my youth & now x?x decades later am giving it a whirl again. My speed is slowly increasing which is fine with me. If only UA-cam had been invented back then, I believe I would not have stopped. My grandma taught me & when she passed, so did my learning. You explain the patterns in such a detailed manner, I have learned quite a bit. Thank you!
I’m intermediate, and it’s mostly because of you. I’ve been trying to crochet for years, but couldn’t get the hang of it for the life of me until I stumbled onto your chanel 6 years ago. Since then I never stopped learning with you. Thank you for your work and expertise. I always have a blast listening to you.
I consider myself intermediate, but love learning new things all the time. I think that is why I like watching your UA-cam/Crochet Crowd because you introduce me to new things. I am like you. I need a little push now and then :)
I'm advanced. My mom taught me to crochet as a teen (only a few years before she died) I've followed you for years and you have helped me grow and learn. I can't imagine my life without crochet. ❤️
Hope all is well with you. My mother taught me how to crochet starting back when I was in middle school, so, about 33 years ago, ugh. Lol. That little reality shock aside, you are my host. I learn very easily from you. The flow in your instruction is easy to follow and comprehend. I would say I can do intermediate though tend to veer toward easy. I stare in awe at my Mom whom I consider advanced. She would say otherwise though. We both have watched you to help us understand a pattern or stitch. For some reason we were both having trouble with the C2C pattern when it was really hot. I still don't know where the hang up was. We watched you and it just clicked. So, please keep the content coming and thank you for the inspiration and excitement you exude.
I have enjoyed learning from you. My mom is knitter, crocheter, and sewing person. while my grandmother was only a crocheter and sewing person. I learned to crochet by watching my mom and grandmother same with sewing. My grandmother never taught me per say but she taught me through watching her and letting me practice on my own. I have tried for years to learn to knit but I still can't knit. I will keep trying different teachers maybe someday. I am dyslexic so maybe to needles are to much for me and I okay with that. I taught myself many crafts by watching as I am a visual learner first. Thank you for all your shorts and teaching videos.
I guess I am intermediate. I am 84 and first crocheted at the age of 5. It keeps me sane. This being said, I have made it a practice to learn something new every month. And….i love you to pieces. Thank you so much.
I’ve only been crocheting for two years. I want to let you know that every pattern I’ve done following you, I’ve completed. You are one of the best teachers I have found. Just wanted to say thank you.
My pleasure to help when I can.
Same!! It has been 2 years for me come this October!! And yes, a fabulous teacher!!
Me too! He is definitely my favorite teacher!
I have been crocheting for 54 years. I am still learning. I learn the most from you Mikey. So it doesn't matter how long a person has been crocheting. It's wanting to learn different things. I am learning about texture. I have never done a front post crochet until l started watching Mikey. You are an inspiration Mikey to everyone.
My pleasure to help when I can.
I too have been crocheting over 50 years. Still learning which I love. I don’t like to repeat patterns. I prefer new challenges. Mikey is excellent at getting us through challenges. I never read diagrams before Mikey led us through them on one of the cruises where we only had diagrams😳 for the multi over layered pattern … yikes. But now I recently completed a huge pineapple doily in thread via a diagram! Thanks Michael Sellick for the journey
I do agree with you. Sometimes I just want a simple project with no thought involved, sometimes more thought is ok…. I sometimes do 2 projects at the same time and pick up what I’m in the mood for?
I am 11 years old and consider myself as a advanced intermediate crocheter I have learned so much from this channel even though I have only been watching for a week or so
Crochet is all about the love of yarn and the joy
I've been crocheting for almost 40 years, and while I "can" do the advanced work I much prefer to be an easy hooker *wink* and intermediate when I feel like something a little more complex. I always love your videos and the way you talk like we are right there with you having a conversation. Thanks for all you do to keep the craft alive!
I'm advanced, but I prefer intermediate and easy patterns most. A lot of my skills are thanks to you personally! Especially reading charts, I really owe you for that. My favorite things about your tutorials is that they all have charts and written patterns to follow along, and that you spend a few minutes explaining the pattern and what it entails before starting the stitching. It really helps me decide whether I want to do the project or not before wasting any time getting started only to realize it's not my vibe, as I'm not always in the mood for certain stitches or counting.
I'm honoured to have shown you that.
I crocheted for many years but followed patterns. When I started watching crochet designers on UA-cam I start learning new things.
I also saved a library of stitches so that I can go back and learn new stiches when I want. And sometimes I don't always remember how to do a new stitch and by saving the videos I can go back and refresh memory.
I agree. I can often decide if I'm interested in the project within the first 5-10 minutes, based upon whether or not I like the stitches.
I find many UA-cam crocheters say a pattern is for beginners when it has color changes, stitch changes or intricate stitches (using many rows in the stitch). I understand they want the viewers, but it’s frustrating for new and beginners. I’ve been crocheting more years than many of these UA-camrs have been alive. Lol! But I spent many years making afghans. I’ve been making cardigans for about 3 years. So I had to start kind of at scratch ina sense. Doing top down sweaters is a blast! I am advanced, but struggle with memory problems due to my health. It just takes me a little longer to catch onto something new. Thanks Mickey for all you do and for being you!,
Saying a project is beginner on UA-cam creates clicks and views. So it's an easy way to gain new followers but what becomes clear if the host is doing this and it's not beginner, it ruins reputations.
That walk off! I LOVE it.
I know you checked out my yarn balls right!?
I have been crocheting for about 10 years. I have learned that crocheting has come a long way from when I first started. I love working with you but it is this one blanket I can not get. Lol but I will keep trying I don't like to give up. Thank you
I'm between easy and intermediate. But I watch Mikey tutorials when I get stuck.
Thanks for your trust.
I’ve been crocheting since Covid lockdown and still class myself a beginner. Listening to your definition I think I’m actually intermediate woohoo 🥳 thanks Mikey. I do still like to drop into the easy patterns sometimes though when I just want to relax and have some crochet therapy. You are the perfect host Mikey
Thank you for explaining the standards for grading "easy" to "advanced". When I was beginning, I stumbled when I'd get a pattern that said "easy" but I hadn't learned all the stitches themselves yet. So even though the pattern was easy on an engineering level-- how many repeats, how it was shaped--- if I didn't know all 8 stitches involved to make the pattern it was less than relaxing. Of course, once I mastered it and rose to the challenge I was so proud! Like you say, it's the zen of the journey and the learning :)
Thank you.
I think I'm a little over easy 😊 I definitely agree with you when learning crochet you have to find the right person, someone you can make friends with in your head to help you develop more toward advancement.
Thanks for sharing!!
I'd say I'm intermediate to advanced. I've done at least one yearly CAL with you for the last 5 years. I love learning new stitches and get bored easily so I stay away from most easy patterns. I must say, Mikey, that I'd never have gone from beginner to where I am now without your help. You work is amazing and your teach style is EXACTLY what I need.
I started my crochet journey March of 2021 with a granny square blanket that I found a tutorial for on UA-cam. I did another blanket from Kristin Omdahl, then I found your 'Flower in the Square' pattern and tutorial. Because of you and your gift for teaching, I went from beginner to intermediate relatively quickly. It was my no means easy though!! I think I stopped and started that flower in the square tutorial a million times 😂 until one day, it clicked. The light bulb 💡 came on. Thank you Mikey for all that you do for the crochet crowd. 💙
I have been crocheting for several years but didn't realized how much I depend on crochet for dealing with every day stress. I spent over a month in hospital with Covid and one of the first thing I wanted to do was create something peaceful, I picked up the yarn and life was better. It took me a few weeks to get my crochet groove on , thank you for all your video they have inspired me so much.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Hi Mikey, I started crocheting 3 years ago. I watched a lady on yt to show me the basics and how to make a simple baby blanket. I wasn't getting it. Then I stumbled upon your channel. I was able to understand your style of teaching and when I completed the baby blanket, I wanted to keep learning more. You taught me how to read patterns and graphs as well. Thank you so very much. You are amazing. 🙂💗
That is awesome!
I love your humor and naughtiness. I consider myself a beginner, just because I haven't crocheted anything in 15 years - I've been watching your videos to update myself and I've learned a lot - but I'm seriously thinking about making your pattern Autumn and Comfort Log Cabin Blankets. Wish me luck!
You can do it!
I feel like I’m in the easy phase of learning how to crochet. I’ve been teaching myself for the past year and a half on UA-cam. Thanks too people like you.❤
I consider myself between easy and intermediate. I’ve done many intermediate level patterns but only with some assistance of your tutorials. I’m currently working on an easy level pattern - Baby Shower Blanket 😊
Thank you for your trust.
I started crocheting 8 months ago. I learned by watching UA-cam. Im a nurse , which can be quite stressful. Crocheting helps me de-stress after a tough day at work. Easy level seems to be my sweet spot. It feels like meditation and usually helps me sleep. I just love the colors and textures of working with yarn. I appreciate the information I get from channels like this. I didn't realize that a yarn council existed. I'll look into that.
I learned by reading patterns. My sister, who is 16 years younger than me, loves graphs. I was like, huh? A crochet graph!!!
You have been teaching me so much about graphs. The graph was especially helpful when we did the Fall Mandala.
Thank you!
I prefer patterns. I hate graphs.
Sometimes it's the only way to visualize.
I'm not a strong reader myself. so the graph helps me to teach.
You're the best, Mickey. I've liked you for a long time, but a the age of 66, I've recently come out. So, now this is a place of comfort, navigating new waters as I am. Thanks for being on UA-cam. ❤
I've only croched for 18 months, but can work along with all of your tutorials, because you explain everything so well. I agree with you that you have to find the right person to follow and thats you for me.
Getting there with reading the patterns. Thanks for all your help.
Happy St. Patrick's Day frim Ireland.
You are so welcome!
Thanks so very much for explaining how the patterns are categorized. I’ve been crocheting off and on for 50 years and found myself frustrated because I’m still choosing beginner and easy patterns. My comfort zone - brain and hands - simply wants to enjoy the journey! I am trying to jump into non-comfortable areas now to learn more. This video just reminded me that it’s ok to struggle when learning something new! Thanks, I definitely needed that reminder! You are my go-to crochet teacher! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
First of all thank you for all of the tips, some wonderful patterns and most of all the inspiration! I’ve done expert patterns for years, but your videos still teach me many new things.
You are so welcome!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY. 🍀🍀💚💚
Thank you.
Thank you for the encouragement Mikey! I’m aways happy with how my finished projects turn out when I follow your tutorials, and I love how you include the pattern, diagrams, and stitch counts in each one. I’ve learned all I know about reading patterns and diagrams from you! Thank you so much!!!
I’ve been crocheting for what seems like forever… But I agree with you… The projects I enjoy the most and keep me engaged are ones where I’m learning something new and pushing my limits… But I have times where I just want to quickly finish a few things so feel like I’m getting more done and so I will choose a pattern that is “Easy” but I’m comfortable in the intermediate level and I’m working to improve my advanced level skills… Clothing is so hard even if the pattern is simple just because I want it to fit the person I’m making it for perfectly and that often means quite a bit of fiddling to get it just right… Where it fits them and the finished product meets my personal standards (🤔 I’m a tad OCD and perhaps a bit of a perfectionist 🤭) But I like to think of every project I crochet as a work of art made by hand with deep love… I don’t ever make anything randomly I always have someone specific in mind when I’m making something and I enjoy the process of making it and thinking about that person with every single stitch!
Thank you for sharing Maile.
Thanks for sharing. I am easy to intermediate. Like pattern that are simple and fast to finish.
THank you.
I consider myself an intermediate crocheter. I love to learn new things and will find some advanced crochet patterns I can handle. I love texture! Thank you for bringing me along on my crochet journey! Hugs 🤗. Robin
My pleasure Robin.
You are so funny and warm spirited. At times I have difficulties with patterns but watching and “listening” ( I’m hearing impaired so this is actually Closed Caption) is so helpful. Also, a video can be slowed down, stopped, started, reviewed more than once and I have also used what is written in a pattern, or a graph while listening to you and that works brilliantly for me if I’m personally confused. Thank you for all you do for the community. Hooks up, hookers! We’ve got this!
I learned to crochet in October 2019. I learned by watching UA-cam videos. I have just ventured into the intermediate level work. My latest project was the hugs and kisses baby blanket. It was easy and fun!! It kept my interest with the variety of stitches! Love it! Thank you Mikey!
Great job!
You are so adorable! I think I am intermediate, I started crocheting when I was 9 yo. My Mammaw and Godmother Marie taught me to do chains and how to basically hold and make slip knots. I picked it back up when I was in my early 20's when my friend and a lady I was taking care of taught me to sc, dc, change colors, and make a chevron afghan blanket. Than in my early 40's I really dug in and watched you, and Mrs. Bod two of my favorite YT's and have learned soooooo much more and have made in the last 7 years countless crochet projects from hats to cardigans to puppets, dolls, amigurumi, valences, and soooo much more! Thank you so much sensei for relighting my flame for crochet and making it into a huge bonfire for me!! Thank you so much xoxoxo Ginger xoxoxo
I think of myself as an advanced crocheter. While I like doing easy and intermediate patterns, I also like the advanced ones. I love learning new stitches and techniques. Your tutorials are always a help and make the patterns so much easier to navigate. Thank you Mikey. ❤
Excellent.
I love you Mickey, because foe me, you are one of the best instructors. I think I'm between easy and intermediate at this point in my journey. I've had only one problem with a pattern you posted that I've tried and it was a girl's outfit that looked like a two piece but was actually one piece. I wasn't ready then. Keep hooking my friend.
This was great. I was a beginner 2yrs ago when I started following you. I consider myself an intermediate now. Each stitching journey is like a person. Some parts are easier to understand than others. I've put something down, because it was hard for me, and come back later to successfully complete it. Hopefully, that person will have patience with themselves. Relax and enjoy the journey. ❤
Wow that's a really prefound thought.
Intermediate checking in. You're a top drawer host, Mickey. A million and a quarter people can't be wrong.
Starting my third year crocheting, I would consider myself and advanced beginner. With the help of your tutorials (love the diagrams) I can be confident on stitches and patterns out of my comfort zone!! Thank you Mikey for being you!!!❤️
You are so welcome!
Mikey you are a space cadet!! But that’s why we love you so much!! 😊❤ Thanks for the video!! That helps!! Love you!! 🥰
When I started crocheting, I wanted to make everything that was just way to difficult for me and I was so frustrated!! Then I watched a video, wish I could remember who it was, but the advice I got was that the more you practice, the better you get... I followed the advice and every day I practice new stitches, watch UA-cam videos and it inspire me so much. Thank you for your inspiration and advice it is priceless!! ♡
I did some crochet in my 20's, but my free time went away and the project was never finished. I am...well...older now, decided to try crochet again this past winter and have been loving it! Friends that do a LOT of crochet and knitting have complimented me on my work, so I guess I am doing okay. Many of the Beginner patterns became a bit boring for me, the Easy patterns providing a bit more challenge and I just finished your Show Time Crochet Hat, my first Intermediate project. I have been holding off on starting this project for weeks, but finally decided it was time. I am very happy with the finished product. I am with you on skill levels. I like a challenge here and there, love learning new stitches and methods, but often I just want to stitch and relax rather than count stitches! UA-cam has allowed me to watch and learn, making it much easier to know where to put that next stitch. Reading and crocheting from a pattern would not be easy for me at this point.
I've been crocheting since I was 8 or 9. I agree with you that sometimes I just want an easy pattern that stays in my head so I can just sit back and get into it. I'm between intermediate and advanced, but easy and intermediate are my favorites.
I have multiple channels that I pull from. Yours is new to me, this video popped up as a suggestion. I like your humor a lot, so I will be checking you (and your channel) out. Thanks! 😁
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being a great instructor! I have learned so much from you during my first six months of crocheting. I learned by watching and I started crocheting to relax while sitting with my Husband in the hospital during the last few months of his life. I have completed projects that remind me of time spent with him. Thanks Mikey,💋
I like to crochet to relax, so easy to intermediate. I am a visual learner, so UA-cam is my favourite way of learning new stitches.
Wonderful!
When I first started crochet is such a cool time for me. My bestie's Mom passed apprx 11 yrs ago. She had an enormous supply and offered it all to me, if I wanted to learn n would use it. And thats what I did. First going on utube and thats where I found you. I've completed many of your tutorials. My favourite big job was the granny square queen size blanket which included your tutorial on how to put it together. I thought it came out beautiful. I rarely do clothing and lean toward Afghan n doily. My skill level hovers btwn beginner n intermediate. I am still learning so much after all these yrs. Im sending a big Thank you to you! And thank you for all your time n patience spent teaching subs like myself. All the best to you🙂
I wish you were my teacher in ALL my college classes!!!!! You are completely amazing!!!
You are so funny! 😆 When I first watched a couple of your tuitorials I thought "what the heck, I can't follow this guy". Oh how wrong I was! As I have watched more of you and all of your videos I have come to love watching you! You have such a cool sense of humor you always make me smile. Keep it up Mikey! ❤️
Ahhh ... enjoy the journey! What a perfect way to describe sitting down to take up a crochet project. Love you, Mikey.
Oh thank you!
I am a beginner to intermediate and I appreciate your talking speed. Remind you viewers that they can slow down the video if they are struggling to keep up.
Never figured out the level I'm using..reached the stage where I see a pattern and before it's done have changed it several times..or see a pattern I like but end up making my own version..love using thread but will do yarn designs..mainly I enjoy crocheting holiday ornaments for family or friends...it makes me so happy to find guys are making videos and designing masterpieces..its not just a girl thing anymore..and men find this relaxing and challenging,too..bless you Mickey for showing anyone can make beautiful thoughtful projects to share!❤
I love your sense of humour and how you talk like your just chatting to friends, it’s natural and relaxing, so don’t change, just be you 😊
You always make me have a giggle, I usually sing away to you saying hay Mickey your so fine you blow my mind with your creativity, hay Mickey ☺️ xxx
HEY MICKEY! haha
You’re great! I am a talker, and I tend to over explain; so, sometimes we have problems listening to each other when we over explain. I believe that you’re just the perfect person to explain things for me as far as crocheting.
Mikey, you are the best host for me! The way you teach is the way I get things. It is nice that you go along with diagrams and the written pattern. I too am a fast talker, so I’ve no problems following along. You always manage to make me laugh and these days, we could always use one of those! Thanks for this video, I now know I am at an intermediate level.
THank you for your insight.
I like to dive between levels. In all honesty, I do your projects, because you make me laugh so much, sometimes I can’t even see the stitches because I’m am crying with laughter. I especially love it when you are in your naughty cheeky mood… 😂🤣😆💕 You are an outstanding crochet tutor…
I'm so glad!
So, I crochet for two years and I really didn’t think any of these are easy. Now these are really easy. I am happy that I am in this community❤
I like you Mike. I like that you talk to us just normally and you be you. It's great
I used to crochet as a teenager, then again after I had my daughter. That was 40+ yrs ago. I started watching you tube videos when the pandemic started. I feel I'm easy and intermediate. I have a hard time reading patterns but I try. I have made tops and sweaters from videos even on my own without a video or pattern I've made tops for my grand daughter. I enjoy crocheting very much, now I'm making blankets some with videos, others on my own using stitches I have learned. I enjoy doing overlay crocheting!! Thank you for all your lessons!!
That's amazing.
You are so funny and warm spirited. I’ve been with you for a number of years and have made a few projects. You have introduced me to new stitches and definitely new designs. At times I have difficulties with patterns but watching and “listening” ( I’m hearing impaired so this is actually Closed Caption) is so helpful. Also, a video can be slowed down, stopped, started, reviewed more than once and I have also used what is written in a pattern, or a graph while listening to you and that works brilliantly for me if I’m personally confused. Thank you for all you do for the community. Hooks up, hookers! We’ve got this!
I was so in love with your yarn balls I could barely concentrate on you. Lol. Jealous!!!! 🥰 I consider myself an intermediate crocheter but I enjoy all levels. If I had to pick a favorite level it would be intermediate.
Excellent.
I started knitting 40 years ago and have been crocheting just 6 years. Even the most advanced knit project pattern is far easier to read than even an "easy" crochet pattern. The first year I crocheted I made the Christmas snowflake afghan that Mike demonstrated here and it turned out gorgeous. I followed his UA-cam tutorial to a "t." So when I crochet, I don't usually read a pattern. I either follow the video or the stitch chart that Mike provides. I'm a retired school teacher of 43 years here. So the biggest group of learners are those who are visual learners coupled with minimal reading. Only 8-10% of a group learn exclusively through reading! Keep up the great tutorials!
I’m at the easy level. However, I like it when the stitches used are listed. If I know the stitches I can get more adventurous.
Wonderful!
I loved how you explained the different levels. I had beginner, advanced beginners ,intermediate and advanced classes for students both left and right hook. It was so much fun. I learned diagram symbol years later when my grandmother paternal side gave me patterns from overseas. My maternal grandmother taught me how to crochet stitches and gauge but she did not have education to read patterns. She just looked at something and made it. Watching you has brought so many memories up . Tyfs. I decided to subscribe.
I consider myself easy to intermediate. Same as others, sometimes I’m in the mood to challenge myself, other times I just want to crochet. I don’t like fussy things so I steer clear of more complicated projects. Thanks for all you do!
Mikey, YOU are the reason I haven't given up on learning to crochet! Your videos are so amazing. I love the way you walk through the pattern with stitch alongs. You are so funny too, I often laugh out loud at things you say off the cuff. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! I just finished the LLama No Drama, I am currently making the Fat Cat Stuffie and a few other projects from watching your videos. Be well!!
THank you. The sly remarks are my inner thoughts that sneak out.
You are the one for me. 😁 I just found out that this is my thing for anxiety and quieting the racing mind at the end of the day and I am grateful that you are a click away.
I have been Crocheting for over 40 years. I had a babysitter teach me how to chain and double crochet in rows. I made a blanket for my Cabbage Patch kid with her scraps. (yes, I still have both!) She showed me how to do a granny square because she couldn't read herself. In third grade, I found a book with photos at the library and taught myself how to read patterns. Even though it's all supposed to be "standardized through the industry" I still struggle with some patterns. I'm definitely intermediate+. With your help, I'm learning to read diagrams. But I usually have to SEE you demo the stitches to be able to understand and visualize where the pattern is going. I have learned SO MUCH from you over the years. Thank you for continuing to challenge yourself and take us with you along the journey.
Thank you for your story.
I love how you explained the different levels of crochet. Great job!
I started crocheting again after around thirty or so years of not crocheting. I started a couple of years pre COVID-19 and you are one of the first host I watched. You actually helped me to remember how to hold the yarn again. I had forgotten. I will always be grateful to you. I now crochet so many things again. I can even read most patterns because of watching your tutorials. Your explanations are easy to understand, they were for me. I watch different people but I have 5 favorites, lol and you are one of them😊.
I'm so glad I can be part of your journey.
I can't wait to dive further into your tutorials. I love how you talk to us like friends. And if I need to, I can always stop a video and go back. And you'll never get tired of having to repeat yourself for this beginner/easy level crocheter. ; )
First, I want to say thank you for your videos. I am self taught, and wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have wonderful teachers like you. That said, this video was wonderful. My daughter has been telling me that I am an intermediate crocheter but I still think of myself as an advance beginner. BUT, after this video I realized I AM an intermediate crocheter. And like you, I LOVE learning new stitches and techniques. Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful. Oh, and I love you using diagrams. Sometimes they make more sense than following a pattern. I like using both together.
I love your sense of humor and I’ll always find myself smiling along with you🥰
I'm a solid intermediate but, as you said, I challenge myself with advanced patterns. But whatever the pattern is, when I get stuck or frustrated, I turn to you, Mikey. You've never failed getting me through a pattern and getting to the point where I complete a project. You're an excellent instructor and a little saucy...which always makes me laugh! Thank you for all the lessons!!! 🧶❤️
A little saucy! haha Who me... never!
That is so true !! Not everyone crochets the same . Easy for me might be an advanced and for some a beginners pattern. Sometimes the teacher gets you , other times I have to “ scavenge” around for another teacher. It’s like being in school you loved your Science teacher, but 40% did not. I hear you ! 👍❤️
Absolutely!! Sometimes we have to find our own way.
Thank you for all you do! Mikey you taught me how to crochet! Many of the projects I pick are because I like the way the finished pattern looks. My very first project was an advanced project. Friends I know who had been crocheting for at least 20years said it was too advanced for me. So I came to UA-cam to learn and was blessed to find you! Finished the football blanket for my nephew. He loves it with its uniqueness! 😎
You are so welcome!
I love, love, love your tutorials! I am relatively new to crochet and find your easy going nature so calming. Please, please continue making your tutorials I've learned so much! Keep making us smile with your sense of humour and don't change a thing!
Thank you so much!
Hi, when I first learned learned to crochet I wanted easy so I either did a single or double crochet. I then learned a granny square. That was it. I made projects in DC. I got tired of it and took a break which turned out to be 20 years. I learned a lot of new stitches. It is thanks to Mikey that I love t o crochet!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Just picked up a hook that's how new I am. You are my first video that I saw and have learned single crochet so far. I know not much but I'm sticking with it. Thanks for being here.
Been crocheting and knitting for 17 years. I remember my first few knit projects. First was beginner striped scarf, then an advanced type of sweater that only took me 2 months to finish. Crochet, I went straight to advance based on what I already knew about knitting.
Intermediate I learned alot of new stitches nd techniques for you .Thank you
My pleasure.
Your the best host mickey. I love love love all your tutorials, they are the best ever. I've completed so many of them just by watching and listening to you. You really are the best. Don't ever stop doing what you do. It's a pleasure to be part of all your projects. A fellow avid crochetier. Thanks for all of it mickey. I appreciate you and all the effort you show in all your tutorials. Carol x
Thank you for your support.
I learned to crochet thanks to all the wonderful "tutors" of UA-cam. One of your patterns and tutorial was my first big project. Big thanks to you Mikey.
My pleasure. Happy to help.
I also want to say that my attitude and feelings about what I enjoy about crochet matches yours exactly. Bless you and yours
Have to enjoy something in life eh! I love this hobby.
I think you are the best teacher. I have made an afghan with you which was a challenge, but I learned so many new stitches. I loved doing it. It encouraged me to try another one, but with a different company and teacher. The pattern and teacher are stressful. I won't use them again. I will be back to do another afghan with you. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
You are so welcome!
More then 10 years ago (think maybe even in the beginning of your channel) you thought me to crochet, I'm still super grateful for your video's back then that managed to teach me crochet and gave me a yarn hobby and a way to relax. Made many people happy with gifts through the years. I want to thank you for doing all you do. Woolly hug from the Netherlands
Thank you Purple for your trust.
I think I'm intermediate. I may be able to do something advanced...may. You have taught me pretty much everything and I will be forever grateful.❤
Im advanced ad have been corcheting for 40 years. I enjoy the crochet a longs with you.
Mikey, I love your approach. You're so real. Thank you ❤
Been crocheting for 3 yrs now & being left-handed (was thrilled to find ur tutorials!), I have learned so much from you & have made many of ur well-explained patterns! Thank you for all your creativity, talent & sense of humour!
You are so welcome!
I think that you are the very BEST HOST EVER.
Thank you for your confidence.
You make a lot of sense Mikey 😊
Ahhhh Mikey! Thanks to you I count myself as advanced but I tend to stay in the intermediate or easy level depending on my mood/ideas. You are my absolute go-to for all things crochet and you taught me just about everything I know. I LOVE these informal videos where your amazing personality just radiates through the screen! You are a pisser! Thanks for all the years and all your hard work and dedication.
Thank you for sharing.
I am beginner getting towards easy. I used to crochet in my youth & now x?x decades later am giving it a whirl again. My speed is slowly increasing which is fine with me. If only UA-cam had been invented back then, I believe I would not have stopped. My grandma taught me & when she passed, so did my learning. You explain the patterns in such a detailed manner, I have learned quite a bit. Thank you!
Appreciate your words here. I got your other message too. :D
I’m intermediate, and it’s mostly because of you. I’ve been trying to crochet for years, but couldn’t get the hang of it for the life of me until I stumbled onto your chanel 6 years ago. Since then I never stopped learning with you. Thank you for your work and expertise. I always have a blast listening to you.
Thank you for your support.
I consider myself intermediate, but love learning new things all the time. I think that is why I like watching your UA-cam/Crochet Crowd because you introduce me to new things. I am like you. I need a little push now and then :)
That is awesome!
I'm advanced. My mom taught me to crochet as a teen (only a few years before she died) I've followed you for years and you have helped me grow and learn. I can't imagine my life without crochet. ❤️
It keeps me mentally balanced as well. I'm sorry you lost your mom.
Hope all is well with you. My mother taught me how to crochet starting back when I was in middle school, so, about 33 years ago, ugh. Lol. That little reality shock aside, you are my host. I learn very easily from you. The flow in your instruction is easy to follow and comprehend. I would say I can do intermediate though tend to veer toward easy. I stare in awe at my Mom whom I consider advanced. She would say otherwise though. We both have watched you to help us understand a pattern or stitch. For some reason we were both having trouble with the C2C pattern when it was really hot. I still don't know where the hang up was. We watched you and it just clicked. So, please keep the content coming and thank you for the inspiration and excitement you exude.
I have enjoyed learning from you. My mom is knitter, crocheter, and sewing person. while my grandmother was only a crocheter and sewing person. I learned to crochet by watching my mom and grandmother same with sewing. My grandmother never taught me per say but she taught me through watching her and letting me practice on my own. I have tried for years to learn to knit but I still can't knit. I will keep trying different teachers maybe someday. I am dyslexic so maybe to needles are to much for me and I okay with that. I taught myself many crafts by watching as I am a visual learner first. Thank you for all your shorts and teaching videos.
I’ve been crocheting about 45 years. I consider my intermediate. Your tutorials are the only ones on UA-cam I have problems following.
I'm sorry. I am probably not the right host for you. You need to find the host that can connect with your mind the best.
