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.

Have you ever made sweaters or cardigans?

@TheWickyd1 Haha thanks!!! I have made a hoodie once, Maybe I will do a vid showing some projects that are personal that I have made. :)

thanks for the sub!

@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.

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.

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!
