HodgePodge Crochet24,500 Subscribers Later… Thank You
Today my YouTube channel officially crossed 24,500 subscribers, and honestly, I’m still trying to process it.
When I first started sharing crochet videos online, I never imagined that thousands of people from around the world would one day be watching my tutorials, following my crochet journey, supporting my designs, and becoming part of this amazing creative community.
What started as simply sharing something I loved slowly grew into something much bigger than I ever expected.
Over the years, HodgePodge Crochet has become more than just a crochet channel. It has become a space filled with creativity, learning, experimentation, encouragement, late-night crochet sessions, yarn piles taking over the house, cats supervising projects 😂, and people who genuinely appreciate handmade art.
One of the things I love most about this community is how supportive and encouraging everyone has been through every stage of the process — even the messy stages.
And trust me… there have been MANY messy stages.
If you’ve followed me recently over on Patreon, then you’ve probably seen me deep in the process of designing the new Lattice Top. This pattern has gone through more revisions, frogging, measuring, grading, and restructuring than I can even count at this point. Some days I’ve completely reworked entire sections just trying to get the drape, fit, and stitch flow exactly the way I imagined it in my head.
But that’s also the beautiful part of designing.
Sometimes crochet patterns don’t appear perfectly on the first try. Sometimes they evolve slowly through testing, experimentation, mistakes, and learning. And honestly, I think sharing that process openly has become one of my favorite parts of this journey.
Seeing people excited about the Lattice Top while it’s still being developed has been incredibly motivating for me. Knowing that people genuinely care about the work behind the scenes makes all those long design sessions feel worth it.
As my YouTube channel continues growing, I have so many exciting things planned for the future:
- New crochet patterns
- More detailed tutorials
- Behind-the-scenes design content
- Crochet vlogs
- Morocco lifestyle content 🇺🇸🇲🇦
- More pattern testing opportunities
- More creative experiments and projects
I’m genuinely excited about where things are heading.
And to every single person who has supported this channel in any way — whether you subscribed, watched a video, left a comment, purchased a pattern, shared my work, or simply followed quietly from the background — thank you.
Your support means more than you probably realize.
Creative work can sometimes feel very solitary behind the scenes. There are long hours spent designing, filming, editing, writing instructions, troubleshooting mistakes, and doubting whether anyone will even care about what you’re creating.
But moments like this remind me why I started.
24,500 subscribers may just look like a number to some people, but to me it represents years of learning, growth, persistence, creativity, and community.
And honestly?
I feel like we’re just getting started.
Thank you all so much for being part of this journey with me 💛
