I sometimes watch them through the first time. If I want to make, I will save it and then rewatch and follow along. Which means I pause it a lot, lol. I’m so glad I found you.

Hello Tuula. I found this video very interesting. I didn't realise KZread gave you so many statistics. I always watch all of your videos, as they are interesting as well as informative, some I rewatch to see how you are doing something. Its also nice to see where you live and visit, I also like listening to your accent. Thank you for all you do for us crocheters. 🧶

Thank you so much! Glad you like my accent and don't mind it! It is amazing how many statistics KZread gives, you can go on and on deeper in every detail. Like about areas where people watch from, down to main cities in many countries, age groups, how people found the video and how many people exactly drop off a video at a certain second etc etc.

Yay a new video! Thanks Tuula for all your hard work 😊❤

You are probably right, and they may be a lot older than from the 70s when I first saw them!

Morning, Miss Tuula! What an INTERESTING bit of data! I typically slow the speed of the video & pause frequently, if I’m watching for instructions/tutorial or taking notes. I’m glad to learn about how important those first 30 seconds are! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I hope you have a sunny week! We have green on our trees here, at last ☺️🫶🏻🧶 xx-Lisa

Thank you Lisa, glad you found it interesting! Fortunately videos are easy to stop and rewind and change the speed! Yes, I think most people don't know about the 30 seconds. I try never to click off a video before the 30 seconds are done, even if I'm not going to watch it (unless it is someone who already has millions of views, then it doesn't matter!). Glad you have green we are still waiting for that but not long now!

I have rewatched your C2C shawl video several times. I’ve tried to follow other crocheters shawl patterns (written), but they are too complicated to follow. So, here one again I come to watch the beginning of your video. It doesn’t take me long to remember the steps, and your instructions are clear. Some designers assume too much, and I’ve discovered I’m a visual learner! I’ve made the shawl five times since the beginning of the year! I wouldn’t normally watch a technical video such as the one you published here, but I enjoy your take on things in general so I always try to watch. I’m part Finnish (Swedish and Norwegian too) so your way of teaching seems the most natural to me. Hope this helps.

I watch your videos in multiple ways. Sometimes I pause, then enlarge and reduce speed to see exactly where in the stitch you place the hook, or to otherwise clarify the oral instructions, etc. if we were in a live situation, I would say, “wait, show that again, very slowly “.

Yes indeed. Tuula is a brilliant teacher.

I usually watch videos from the beginning all the way to the end. The main exception is if it's a tutorial I am following along/doing, I'll pause and rewind as needed. I know now I can change the speed, but I get less anxious if I pause to catch up/finish the round/row at my pace, then continuing.

But also, I will go back over and over to compare what I am doing to what you are doing lol. Rewatching in which magazines You are published makes perfect sense to me!

Thank you so much Steph, happy to hear! What you describe is probably what lots of people do, listening in the background until there is something more interesting. And also, while actually making something, rewinding to see how something is done.

Definitely do , there is so much in it! Most of the designers used varied methods of crochet so lots of very experienced crocheters said they learned many new things.

I usually always watch your videos through to the end. There may be parts I wish to view again, but I will generally always do that afterward. I find it odd that people leave off early. One ought to give a creator the courtesy of a hearing. Besides, your videos are seldom so long as to strain the attention span of anyone but the most impatient! You are generally always direct, clear & to the point. So is your crochet! Thank you for the work you put into your channel.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you watch full videos. Overall with most youtubers, if you get an average viewing percentage of 50% you can already be glad. Especially in tutorials because people often look for one specific thing only and leave after finding that. It's hard to make tutorials interesting!

I found this video very interesting. I was not aware that a graph is available for the person posting. Enjoy your soon to be spring weather.

Glad you liked it. Yes, the statistics are extremely detailed about every aspect and the youtuber community spends a lot of time learning about and analysing them. It helps to decide what to do next when we see what our particular audience is interested in.

Hello Tuula Maria, I am so glad to find you on KZread. I rather knit more and know little about crocheting, and I watched lots of your videos and know that I can find right answers to my questions in your tutorials. So just recently after crocheting a big chunk of my bag-organizer for needles, I finally came to you to watch how to do straight edges in double crochet, and that saved my work). Thanks a lot, I find your videos both entertaining and extremely useful, and your channel is a great resource for me. All the best!

I like to watch from beginning to end and then if I want to make the item I stop and start a lot. But like many other people I might start watching and have to stop and go back later. I always click the like button at the beginning as I sometimes forget later and also if when viewing through the TV I didn’t know how to do that.. but have since learned this. I like the length of your videos and I also am interested in the things you talk about and the places you are. I’m retired and have the time. I like the way you explain things and I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Thank you.

I do one of 3 things. If I have plenty of time, I watch the entire video. If I don't have the time, I save to watch later. However, if I want to make something on a tutorial, I save the video to play when I have all I need for the project, then pause and start as I need to while I am making the item. I do enjoy your videos 😊

I am surprised if the reason for the drop of Christmas tree video is because you are giving an alternative simultaneously, I mean, when it is something as simple as telling you can do a chain and single crochet instead. Such thing never put me off as a beginner or a little more experienced crocheter. I am also surprised about the 10 seconds, I thought it was at least 50%. But I'm pleased it's only seconds, because I often start watching a video, knowing I haven't got the time to watch it all - but now I can find it again in my 'Recently watched' list. My Watch it later list is toi long now to be useful any more.

@TuulaMaaria

2 ай бұрын

Yes, I was just guessing about that Christmas tree video but the drop is surprising. The important bit is 30 seconds from the star. But the longer people watch, the better. The goal of course is that a majority would watch the whole video. That works in some types of videos but not in tutorials.

Oh I’m sorry, time is at a premium. Most of my time comes in bits and pieces throughout the day - after the dishes are done, before I fold a load of laundry, pick up one, and drop off another. I often don’t have time to watch the entire video, but so try to remember to click like and subscribe.

True, that happens with some of the videos I'm sure.

I don't like bringing up other content creators but just this once I'm going to. When YT changed how they did ads, some tutorials/videos were intolerable to watch. Craig from Fiber Spider was trying to fix his videos as it was a huge problem with a gazillion ads. In order to help him (and others I watch) out when I wanted to follow a tutorial, I'd let the video play through with all ads while I did something else. Then went back & watched & paused & rewinded/fast-forwarded as much as I needed to as well as skipping ads that were too long or too upsetting (sadly I sometimes have to skip ads that are too upsetting on first watches for short videos but try & play the video again later hoping for a better ad)

@TuulaMaaria

2 ай бұрын

That is a great idea to let a video run through first. Various youtubers make different choices as to what types of ads they allow. I have blocked out any to do with gambling of any kind as well as fast high-interest loans and a few other categories. I would get more income if I allowed those but I just don't want my audience to get those.

When i watch your videos I watch the whole thing,I don't skip on your channel. That's the reason why i watch your Videos. I click on them N others becuz I like your content. I like the Video that where you made your own Curtains out of doilies. Becuz it shows how you put your design together,what kind of style you like out all the doilies.

Fascinating! I tend to rewatch videos so i can mimic the steps and actions needed to create the crochet piece showcased in the video. Good thing my tetchy verbal responces aren't reported to creators!😂 Multiple choices can sometimes work for me provided they are simple and only at starting the project ie working into the 3rd chained stitch as opposed to a chained ring but this has to do with reducing bulk in my miniature projects or ease of seeing what i am doing. (Must say that i am mildly annoyed that KZread didn't present yr magic-ring video in my search six months ago.)

That is something KZread doesn't do yet, listen to what people say while watching! 😄 Would be scary if it did! Miniature projects probably require some things to be done differently, I have only made some earrings in sewing thread. I suppose it's a bit hit and miss whose video YT show in search results if there are lots of videos with the same or almost same title.
