I'm having a difficult time with chain stitches. Instead of getting a nice row, I'm getting a spiral staircase effect. What's causing this? Is it that some of my stitches are too tight, and if so, do you have any tips on remaining consistent? Thanks in advance, but I understand if you don't have time to answer. ^^

[BCKrudwig]

@xTHExFALLx chances are that your stitches are too tight. I suggest relaxing your yarn hand. don't pull so tight when making a stitch. I can't remember which video at the moment, but I think it is the color change tutorial where I talk about tension a bit more.

@BCKrudwig

Ahh, thanks very much for getting back to me. :D It's fairly uncommon for people who do lessons or tutorials to reply to further questions, so I appreciate it. I'll go check it out.

@xTHExFALLx your first chain will go all spiraly, just carefully straighten it as you go.

once you add more stitches after chaining, itll be okay.

Although I already know how to crochet, I loved watching this video. I've never searched crochet tutorials on youtube before now. Your voice is so soothing and you explain things perfectly!

Yaaa! I'm so glad you are doing tutorials! The only yarn I can seem to find at walmart is either 96% acrylic or 100% acrylic.  Where do you find cotton yarn?

[BCKrudwig]

@MsCarla44 hey! glad you like this! I buy my cotton yarn off of the internet from peaches and creme, however you can buy a similar brand called sugar and cream from Lily at any hobby lobby or joann stores :-)
