Live Video Chat - Happy New Year 2017! | Posh Pooch Designs

Happy New Year 2017! 

From Sara, Maximo and Rosie

 of

 Posh Pooch Designs

On Today's Video Chat,
 we are talking about our Plans for 2017!

We have so many fun things planned

And I am so excited to share them with you.

See the Live Video on my Youtube 

Channel at This LINK

We have started a A Year Long

 Crochet A Long

The Temperature Scarf

See the Blog about it HERE

We are doing a 6 inch Afghan/ Granny square 

each month, inspired by the Month's Birthstone. 

January  -  Garnet Square

We also have plans to re-film several of or videos

 on Youtube, as well, as many new videos

 of existing crochet Patterns.

 When I do this, the pattern gets re-tested and re-edited.

You can check out my Youtube Channel HERE

On My Youtube Channel You will find 4 types of Videos

1. Crochet Pattern Tutorials -

    These are Videos of my Crochet Patterns.

2. Videos to Answer Questions about my Patterns.

     These are videos that I try to answer questions

     that have been asked about my patterns.

3. Crochet Techniques  - 

    These are videos to demonstrate a certain technique or

    trick that I have learned and want to share with you. 

4. Live Videos - 

    I do a Live Video every Tuesday at 9:30 AM MST

   on my facebook business page - Posh Pooch Designs

I do want to address a few questions I received in the last few weeks concerning my Youtube Channel-

First Question, " Why do people give you a thumbs down (dislike)?

Answer: I really do not know. I do know that not everyone

 will like me or my style. I am OK with that. I want my Youtube channel to be different than what is already out there.

  Youtube does not differentiate between a "like" and a "dislike",

 it just sees it as interaction. So it is not hurting me in any way.

2nd Question: " How do I find the Crochet Pattern you are demonstrating in the video?"

Answer: All the Patterns being demonstrated will have a

 Link in the notes under the video demonstrating it. 

there is usually a "arrow" to click on to "show more",

 if you do not see it. You can also find them, here on my blog.

Use the tabs that at the top of this blog.

3rd Question: "Why was my Comment deleted?"

Answer: There are 2 basic reasons a Comment is deleted.

First- If  your comment contained any unkindness, bullying,

 or any negativity, it will be removed. 

Secondly- If your comment contained inappropriate language

 or curse words. Your comment will be removed.

Third- If the comment contains a link that Youtbe thinks is spam,

 it will not be shown till I approve it.

I have noticed that I will receive an email that says a comment

 was made, But then I go to the video and I do not see it.

 I do not know why.

Live Video Chat - Granny Square or Afghan Square? Posh Pooch Designs

In Today's Live Video Chat we are 

Discussing the Question,

"Is it a Granny Square or an Afghan Square?"

I Have loved Granny Squares since I first learned to make one..... 

Many, many years ago!

The Difference between a Granny Square and an 

Afghan Square is really quite simple.

A Granny Square is the traditional or classic Granny Square. 

The Afghan Square is any Crochet Square that can be

 make into a Blanket.

See the Live Video Chat at this LINK

"So All Granny Squares are Afghan Squares,

But not all Afghan Squares are Granny Squares.

Like All Mustangs are cars, But not all Cars are Mustangs."

See the Video  "How to Crochet  a Classic Granny Square"

 on my Youtube channel at This LINK.

Maximo Loves Granny Square blankets the best!
