I followed another way how to do a granny rectangle by Red Heart-- I like the technique she used, but it was too fast, and she didn't do a demo of how the second or third round was done. Now I'm stuck... I've started a project using that technique, but I don't know what to do next. I like how you explain patterns and techniques better. Would you mind checking out how to do the Red Heart pattern for a rectangualr granny and teaching us how to do it that way too? Pretty Please ? :)

@luvuJesusmySavior They are not interested in teaching you, only selling yarn. Due to intellectual property laws, I would not be able to work the pattern without permission from the author. I have tried contacting that company with no luck or response.

Almost everything I have learned I have learned from you!! You are an awesome teacher, you take time to explain things perfectly and slow the video down on the more difficult parts. I am a young crocheter so most people are floored by the array of things I have learned...I have always given credit where credit is due and now even my grandmother (who taught me how to crochet) is learning things from you!! You're great Teresa, thanks for taking the time to post your videos!!

[tjw1963]

@chellebean80 Thank you for your generous words. Very much appreciated. Say hello to your Grandma! It is great that she is learning new techniques.

omg... excellent video... this was hilarious for me, as i am workin w/ a size Q hook, using macrame nylon cord to make a rectangle rug for outside bbq... the 15 minute video took well over 2 hours for me!!!... had to stop/go because my stitches are at least 2" in height... am familiar w/ crocheting, but never made a rectangle, which, now that i have seen video, makes too much sense... tyvm for video... greatly appreciated... i think i can handle it from here...

@nobracobra I appreciate the comment, thank you.

[VickyVue]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! OMG! You are turning me into a lover of all things crochet! and I'm a newbie!

[luvuJesusmySavior]

@tjw1963 Oh, okay, I understand. Thank you anyway. I really do enjoy watching your

videos-- they have helped me so much! Since you have made each step so

clear-- I'm going to try the rectangle granny you have demonstrated here.

Thanks so much! :-)

I recently bought my wee mum a smaller bed (5ft 6" in length) and found that I couldn't buy bedding to fit. I came across your video and figured I might as well give it a try. Thanks to you I have just completed a warm arran crochet blanket and plan to make a few more! Excellent instuctions (even if it took me a dozen attempts before I got the gist of it) I couldn't have done it without your help.
