I have learned most stitches ( I call then non standard) from moogly.com . If I need to know a certain stitch for a project, I type it into google and the first video or tutorial is , 9 out of 10 times , from Moogly/Tamera Kelly. As part of my A Year of Projects , I wanted to learn how to make a Standing Double Crochet. I've been crocheting for 4 years and I had no idea this stitch existed! I hate chaining when I add a new color to the project I am working on. Below are my samples and the video by Moogly. Now my Temperature blanket squares will look better :) no more chains! Thanks again Tamera!!
