Make A Tutorial Request
We get requests across the social media platforms, including in email format. However, this page will act as a central hub for making a formal request. With being in business for over 12 years, I've come to understand what types of projects work best and what projects should be skipped.
Permissions to Film
We have the blanket permission to film any patterns inside Yarnspirations.com. However, we have a boundary set that we do not film another current Yarnspirations Teacher's patterns as they have the capability of filming up their own patterns. You can reach out to them to request they film up their patterns directly. Most of them have websites with a contact email or you can find them in social media. We can also film any pattern where Jeanne and I are the designers as well.
Legality
We do not film just anything. We do not film any designers' patterns where its a paid pattern or not listed in the Yarnspirations free pattern library. This also includes asking for us to film a section of a pattern that doesn't belong to Yarnspirations or our own designs. That's a copyright infringement.
Be Specific with Request
Designing one of the Study of Texture Blankets takes about 170 hours and that's not including filming. So requesting us to make a double size blanket with a certain stitch requests research and development which can absorb a lot of time. The goal of the requests is to find something that is already existing in pattern format for me to study, grab a camera and get to work.
When Requesting a Video Below
- Provide me with a link either from The Crochet Crowd Website or Yarnspirations Website where the pattern is. This will speed me through to find the resources to study your request. Any patterns outside of these two website properties are legally out of bounds for me to film. I won't take a risk on filming copyright materials.
- Provide me with a reason why you want it filmed up. Is there something about the pattern that is hard for you? If you cannot read a pattern, you can state that but I am looking for tidbits of knowing where to focus. If there is a backstory, I'd love to know that too.
- Be thoughtful in your request that is truly something you want to be filmed for you. Don't just randomly pick things that you think others would enjoy. We want to know your wishes.
Melissa Almeida says
I would love to see a tutorial of the Christmas Trimmings blanket!
Thank you for all you do!
JoAnn Miller says
I would love a tutorial on Jeanne's Christmas Trimmings. I'm stuck on row 10. Love the pattern and would like to gift it to myself for Christmas
Mikey says
Noted. I got stuck there as well. It was the way I was reading the pattern.
Marjorie Gibson says
Mikey could you please do a tutorial for Jeanne’s Christmas Trimmings Afghan. Thank you for all you do.
Darlene V Quinn says
I would love to see a tutorial on how to crochet sections together. You showed the pattern sections of the crochet woven pattern mosaic blanket in the week 1 video, or preview video, and said we could make them separate or do them all together. I didn't do them separate but had to cut off part of the blanket and would like to see a tutorial on how to attach the sections. I ran a piece of yarn through stitches and cut a row below to detach the section I needed to do over. I still don't understand, from other videos, how to make the stitches that I ran the yarn through stable and then make a seamless attachment of the zig-zag and offset blocks. I sent an email but saw this and decided to request a tutorial here, in case you didn't get my email.

Darlene V Quinn says
Not really, Marina, but thank you. I don't know what I am going to do. I might end up frogging the entire blanket, which I would rather not do, but it is for someone else, not myself, so I want it to look like I didn't cut off a section, redo and then try to attach it back to the main blanket
Marina King says
sorry just seeing this, I was off on the weekend. Just saw you're other messages, going to reread to make sure I understand then see what I can figure out. But for now, my suggestion would be to check out joins on youtube there are quite a few different techniques out there one may help
