    How lovely were all your "commission" videos... The softness and calmness of your voice, the way you speak and the story of your life you shared with us were all so touching that made me wish you were somewhere here round the corner or me there to have a coffee together, go for a walk together and share moments of our life... How sad some have unsubscribed! They did lost out! We've talked in the past about the different way of crocheting double crochet. Keep on what you're doing! Although I'm older than you, you taught me a lot on crocheting. Hello from Greece!! 😘😘😘

    Olga, you are a woman of dignity and grace!! Yes please make more of these types of videos. This scarf turned out beautiful. No, I mean stunning! I could just stare at it because it's so beautiful! It's meant so much to me to see your crochet with these different yarns. To get to know you better and as you have said make this connection. You're now a friend. I have a bunch of the yarns you just used and I actually purchased a few of the Hobbii yarns. I have a yarn I would love to see you work with "Scarfie" but it's bulky and I know you tend towards more lacey. I'm glad that as they say "you got your mojo back". You have a gift and I feel grateful that you share it with us!!

    It’s always amazing to me to see how different yarns change the look of the crochet fabric. I have actually learned a lot from these “commission” videos. I think that,you can learn a lot by just listening. So sad that people unsubscribed, they really lost out.

    • @OlgaPoltava
      @OlgaPoltava  2 роки тому

      Hi Zandra, I agree, the same stitch pattern used with different yarns create totally different looks, so it's fun to experiment! I've learned a few things alone the way too, especially that a scarf made with a lacy stitch will shrink in width under its own weight. It's ok that some people unsubscribed. As one viewer commented it means that the audience is being optimized for the channel. Different people have different interests and there are so many channels on youtube that everyone can find a good fit for them! Thank you so much for your comment!

    I’m sorry you’ve lost some subscribers, I personally feel they’ve missed a perfect learning experience.
    I received a bookmark from a site where I purchase yarn it says the following, “ Life isn’t just about finding yourself. Life is also about creating yourself”. (George Bernard Shaw)
