    Hi Betsy, Thank you for mentioning this! I honestly thought they did have titles when you put the mouse over but they don’t! That is very confusing. They are supposed to have the title there and a link to take you to the post that the video is for on my blog. I will let the company that hosts the videos know so maybe they can fix it for me. Thank you so much for letting me know!! Rhondda

    It would be helpful if the videos had a text title to show which stitch is being demonstrated. I like your teaching a lot. Thank you!

    Hi Anna Marie, I’m very sorry to hear about your great nephew and his diagnosis. I pray the treatment he receives is successful very quickly!
    I have never personally taught anyone to crochet who is left-handed. I asked Marie about this and she wrote a guest post last year to give me some tips: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2016/06/teach-lefty-crochet-righty.html
    Kathy from ELK Studio Handcrafted Designs is a Left-Handed Designer so she may have some ideas on how she learned how to crochet – I know she has a course available from Annie’s here: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2016/08/30603.html If you are familiar with video editing at all there is a setting on Adobe that lets you flip the video you record and it appears as though you are crocheting with your left hand rather than your right. I often think it might be easiest to teach by doing a live feed and flipping it to the reverse view if they cannot transfer the actions to the left view in their heads. I’ve tried to crochet left handed to get ready to teach a friend (just in case) and it is not easy to do. I can awkwardly manage a lot of the stitches but I cannot manage the starting chain row or working into the starting chain row. My son is left-handed too and he has been asking me to teach him and I am concerned I may not be able to show him properly myself. I wish I could be more help! Wishing you the best, Rhondda

    Hi Rhondda,
    I am having a fundraiser at my house at the beginning of December for my great nephew that is 2 years old that just got cancer in August. I will teach anyone who wants to learn, the basics of crocheting. I was wanting to know if you had any information on the best way to teach a left handed person to knit and/or crochet and any other information that might be helpful. I really do appreciate it. Thank you very much.

    Hi Beverly you left this comment on my Crochet Cheat Sheet Post so I do not know what blanket you are asking about. Can you please leave me the question on the post you are asking about so I can help you 🙂 Thank you, Rhondda

  7. BEVERLY W DENTON says

    30/12/2017 at 7:21 PM

    I would like to crochet this for my husband. I would, however, like to make it larger (48 X 60). In order to do this, what multiple would I use for the width?

  8. Rhondda says

    27/08/2017 at 1:29 PM

    Hi Silvia, Some crocheters use tc as the abbreviation for treble crochet – tc and tr are the same stitch – the treble crochet stitch. Some people also refer to it as triple crochet stitch. This is why I included both. It seems to depend on where you are from which one you use. The ‘standard’ is tr for treble. Hope this helps! Rhondda

  9. SILVIA TESSUTO says

    27/08/2017 at 6:31 AM

    Dear Rhondda,
    First of all, thank you for your great Tips, patterns and all! I am learning a lot with you!
    May be there is a little mistake in the chart above. Crochet cheAt sheet. TrebLe crochet (tc) on the color chart the same stItch Is named as (tr). Which one is the correct abreviation?
    Thank you for your kind Attention.
    Kind regards.
