I've been doing some front and back post crochet, but I've been wondering for a while how to do chainless foundations and those fancy diagonal textures. <br /><br />Secondly, about the spam: I signed up via email and and after filling in my email and password, unchecked a box asking if I would like to receive offers and such. Also, in my profile I made sure I unchecked everything under Email Notifications. Hope that helps!Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-37695319548060401832014-08-09T08:23:44.515+01:002014-08-09T08:23:44.515+01:00Oh, this looks fab!

I couldn't have done it better myself. And now you got me interested in trying a course as I never have... I might give it a go. As long as it is for free! LOVE your yellow swatch. I have this thing for yellow this summer. Crazy about it!!! And the cables.

I can't tell you how many times I've attempted to 'rewind' a vid and go back way too far! <br />Those are beautiful stitches Sandra! I would love to learn them!<br />Oh and...my favorite youtube crochet guru? Micheal Sellick of 'Crochet Crowd' fame.

Maybe there is some account setting you can change so you don’t get so many emails? <br />I also agree that the prices for the classes can seen expensive at first look. Until I took a class I would have agreed with you but now I’ve tried them I can see the value of them. I do also take your point about learning from books etc, that’s what I have done myself up to now, but everyone learns in different ways... <br />Sandra xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-18566118321454761302014-08-05T13:07:50.648+01:002014-08-05T13:07:50.648+01:00Once you sign up with Craftsy you get bombarded ev...Once you sign up with Craftsy you get bombarded everyday with sales pitches. And always nothing you want. Whenever I want to learn something I use a book. I can learn at my own pace then. I did crochet through back and front posts in that way. Books are brilliant and I have no idea why courses are so expensive. You learn through doing so why not just do it?Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.com
