As of August 20, 2014, we no longer offer personalized pattern searching due to the creation of social media. However, you can use our social platforms to make inquiries with community members.
YouTube Membership & Issues
We have a YouTube Membership, which includes Passport and Journey Levels. Both levels are set in Canadian Dollars, but the currency changes globally to match your country for the currency exchange. Journey Level has a full backstage pass to up-and-coming tutorials.
If you have payment issues, we cannot access your financial information or membership through YouTube; Google handles it directly. You can contact Google through this form for payment issues, membership, and other inquiries.

I had a comment on here and Marina King replied, but her link didn't really help me. Which I replied to her. Now my suggestion isn't showing. How do I attach the zig-zag pattern section of the woven pattern mosaic crochet blanket from this spring, to the blocks section. I had to cut off the zig-zag and stacked blocks at the beginning of the blanket to make a new chain, and then ended up having problems. I cut off the zig-zag section from the offset squares by threading a length of yarn through the stitches in the row above where I needed to cut. I don't know how to fix that row, as the length of yarn is the only thing holding it together. Do you have a video for crocheting a section to another section above it using sc, but not granny squares.
Marina King says
lay one side you want to join, out flat right side facing you, then lay the piece you are adding on top right facing down (towards the piece you are adding it to) starting at one end using a needle and thread you work the outside loop (the loop away from you on the bottom piece, and the closest loop facing you on the top piece) of both sides onto the thread continues to the end.
Darlene V Quinn says
I'll give it a try. I still don't know how to secure the stitches above where I cut off the section and only have a length of yarn running through them to keep them from coming apart while I cut below. Any suggestions? There are tutorials that I don't understand. Wish Mikey had one for this.
Marina King says
if you want to join through that side, work the needle of the bottom of the stitch where you have the yarn running through it and join it to the finished edge of the other piece. as long as you are able to get all of the bottom stitches where you cut, you should be fine. even if you want to work around the yarn you already worked in there to hold the stitch for added security. its a bit of a pain and may take you a little longer than a normal join, but it is doable, I have done it.

Hi Mikey! I am working on the Easy Cotton Bib video tutorial and happened to check Etsy for other bib patterns and I found a shop that is selling your bib pattern and even uses your thumbnail picture as their picture! I listed it in the website space of this reply.
Mikey says
I'll let Yarnspirations.com know. It's their pattern. Thanks so much.
