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.

Norma says
Ohhh I second this one. It's SO gorgeous - but I won't be able to do it without a video. Thank you!
Sally Hagarty says
Are you able to do this pattern on a knitting loom? Your tutorials helped me learn how to make so many things on the looms!
Bernat Knit Baby Cardigan
Mikey says
Hey Sally, that's not a loom knitting pattern. You know Kristen at Goodknit Kisses is a loom knitting expert. She may be able to help you. I'm not that familiar with looms for the conversion.
Donna Wise says
Please do Healing Stitches II or guilt Jeanne into it. ?
Would love to have a diagram. Pretty sure Jeanne won't do that. ?
Mikey says
The diagram will take Daniel several days. I cannot foresee him doing that. Noted for the tutorial request though. Daniel hates doing the diagrams and it's like pulling teeth in asking him for something that complex.
Donna Wise says
Thank you for your reply and considering my request. Knew a diagram was a long shot. They are a pain to do but fun to use. Daniel seems to be happy and healthy and enjoying working outside. You both do. Don't upset your apple cart.
Marina King says
if a graph isn't included with a pattern, I haul out paper and draw row by row to where I am in the pattern, it usually helps.
Tracey says
Hi Mikey!!! I have learned and created so much with your tutorials! Thank you for all the time and hard work you do for all of us! I know this is a beginner pattern, but I would love to learn to make a rectangle basket. Remodeled the bathroom and the round ones do not fit on the vanity as nice.
Thank you!
