Each year, I film upwards of 250 tutorials, that's not including the left-handed versions. Sometimes it's an educated guess of what I think the crocheters will love and other times, it's taking a chance.
With filming so many free tutorials, not everything flies out of the gate and tanks immediately. I can tell within 2 hours of a video launching if I have made a sound decision or a mistake. If it's a mistake, I don't linger long and look for another project to film.
The influence of videos happens based on The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social, video tutorial requests we get through this website and just watching trends. It's rare for Yarnspirations to request a tutorial, with exception to the Stitch Alongs.
Here is my List in Picture Format
If it compels you to know more, you can click the picture and you will get the pattern and tutorial that matches it! You can give it lemons! 🙂
I'll tell you what compelled me for each. Just for kicks! Fetch is never going to happen! 🙂 You can leave me a comment at the bottom of the blog if you feel you want to add why a tutorial tanked or it lacked your interest.

I am currently working on the Misty Vines design. I loved the pattern, but didn’t need a baby blanket, so it is becoming a pocket shawl. Not sure if I accessed the tutorial or just the chart. Just the chart, I think. I’m sorry, I’ll go and open the tutorial and mark it.
As a side note, I know many are really crocheting up a storm with the pandemic seclusion. I’ve done a lot less due to the need for masks in our area. I sew also and joined a nonprofit dedicated to making masks. I’m sure many in our community have done the same. Look forward to when these aren’t so necessary again.
Thank you for ALL the tutorials. They have made such a difference for all of us in our crochet journey.

I love the beret, it's gorgeous. I've been doing a mandala madness blanket this year but it's definitely going on my to do list.

Hi Mikey,
Love your tutorials. But here in Florida, we don't need as many hats and beanies as other places. Love the cabled baby blanket but not the velvet yarn so much. And you may be right about the blankets for college students. Not special if you are staying at home due to Covid-19. Don't stop what you are doing, though. You never know when someone is looking for a quick present or special baby blanket!
