To Melanie’s family thank you for leaving your sweet Melanie’s videos up for us to continue to learn from. I refer back to her videos all the time. She had such a gift for teaching. My heart breaks for the loss of your sweet beautiful Melanie.

Yes cancer she vlogged some of her journey 😢

I was coming to find a video on gauge and found Melanie's old video. She is so loved and missed by this community and it's so wonderful to be able to still see her beautiful face and hear her voice. Thank you, Robert, for allowing us to still have Melanie with us. ~Cynthia

Normally I go to old Melanie videos for quilting, but went searching for info about gauge and of course she has one for that too ❤

Finally a youtuber that explains correctly and cares

All very important reasons why gauge matters! Your demos were so helpful to see how the gauge can drastically change when using the same yarn but changing the crochet hook. As an experienced crocheter, I know that I have to downsize 1-2 sizes of hooks to achieve the given gauge since I crochet more loosely. Your little tool looks like a great way to quickly assess the gauge of your work.

@@MelanieHam I tend to be a loose crocheter. I made a beautiful sweater watching directions very carefully. It turned out horrible. I'm starting over and I'm taking Sybil Derderian's comment about downsizing my hook. Off I go again to make this sweater. :-)

You are the best teacher on KZread! Thanks for always inspiring and keeping it simple for us. xo!

Will you do a video on blocking yarn? Like what does it mean n do n when you should do it and why. I see about blocking yarn/blocking your project all the time on pinterest but I dont understand why n what it is.

Melanie, Have you made the next video in this series about reading a pattern? I've looked but can't find it...thanks for all the help you give us beginners!

Thank you so much Melanie. Very helpful

Love all your videos .. can you teach us how to make a men's scarf

Got it! Thanks so much.

"Ah-ha! Now I see," said the blind man to the deaf dog - using a Wellerism to exclaim my understanding! Thank you so much. PS- I love your gauge tool. You are so creative and I love that about you.

SO FAR SO GOOD!!!! I LIKE THE IDEA, THAT MELANIE EXPLAINS, REALLY WELL. AS I LIKE TO SAY IN PLANE ENGLISH!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH..

Hi Melanie! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Im in the process of making an afghan. And I read somewhere that you should measure the width of one repeat in the swatch to determine the number of pattern repeats necessary to make an afghan. What does that mean, and could you please provide an example from an actual pattern? How do I measure a pattern repeat? What does that look like in a swatch? Thank you, thank you soo much!

Love your Videos!

Hi Melanie, how can I adjust a baby dress pattern? I started a dress for a one year old but really would love to make the same dress for 0-3 months. Is it possible to adjust a pattern or whatever size the pattern is make for is it?

I was wondering if you could sew fabric like minky onto a crochet blanket or if it's even possible?

Do we need to check the gauge with only single crochet or even the wat stitch we make

Hey melanie, Can u plz do a tutorial on how to crochet a crocodile stitch book cover?

Melanie, Would you please explain what this gauge means and how do I count it. 1pattern rep = 2 inches.

I am having trouble making a gauge for a pattern. It says 6.5 stitches x 6 rows equal a 4 inch...but when I use the hook recommend across it measures 3.5 “ across and length wise 4.5”. I thought it would be close enough, but when I tried the pattern...it was way off in width! Should I go up a hook size which will change the wide but it will make it off length wise? Thank you!

Hi! I can't find your yarn gauge in the shop. Will it be available soon?

I love your gauge tool Melanie, it's so sweet. I bet you will sell a lot :) *****
