I know we all have our own technique when it comes to crocheting...but this is the weirdest yarn over I've ever seen !!

@Buckleigh No one has ever accused me of being normal.

Thanks - the quality can be better - this is just a fast and dirty video. I will be posting a much better quality video tutorial very shortly.

Thank you! This was an easy-to-follow tutorial! I've never done broom-stick before...cannot wait to try this! Thank you for taking the time! (Just because I do my crochet different from you, that doesn't mean either one of us is wrong! As you said, if you enjoy it, why should it matter to others how you do it?!?) A big thank you again!

I really enjoy watching different ways people have of doing the same thing. I especially like the way you set up the first row. I think that's excellent. c Thanks for the video.

I have never seen anyone do a yarn-over with every stitch. This seems to add a huge amount of time to the process of crochet. It is much more fluid and quick if you catch the yarn with the hook instead of doing a YO at every stitch. Where did you learn to do it this way?

A very strange and to much work way of crochet.

i wish the wool you use was light it was a little hard to see what you were doing.

but you explained it well. i was scared to try broomstick lace crochet. as i thought is would be very hard. but now thanks to you i reckon i will give it a try. a practice run first

Thanks. I love it. I am nervous about starting, but am ready to try. Hope to see more of you here.

Very nice video... a lot of people have done similar ones, but yours makes the most sense to me, I guess we share crochet style to a degree. I'm moving soon and want to make some yummy new blankies for the sofa so this is going to be the way to go. Thanks!

would help if you used light colored yarn....the darker the yarn the harder to see
