Virtual Classroom for Crochet and Knitting Add Video

Hello and thank you for stopping by my somewhat disorganized "Classroom". The channels are split into Crocheting and Knitting so as I add a new video it will go into that channel. If there is a video that you would like to watch or a technique that you would like to see in motion just let me know and I will get one made for you as soon as I can.

     In this short tutorial I will show you how to crochet a fabric that consists only of Slip Stitches.

    I made this video because I was a tester on a Beautiful Unique Cowl. Only problem was I had never ever crocheted an entire piece using only the SL ST and When I was tried to find a tutorial myself I had a hard time finding anything that would walk me thru the whole thing so I thought I would make one myself :) 

    If you would like to see the Cowl it is designed by a very talented lady Yuliya Tkacheva and the Project is the Rusalka Cowl and Just click here to go straight to the project page! While you are there tell her I said hi!

    Hope you enjoy!
