Hi Myrna, Thank you so much for the video on how to fix your foundation chain. I was trying to figure this out when I received your email. I am new to crocheting and did not know how to do this. You really made my day. Now I can finish my scarf. Again thanks for the great video. I will send a picture when I'm finished.

Hi Myrna, I am so glad to hear that especially since I am not a native English speaker and making videos always makes me nervous.

I often have too many chains. I always pulled them out and started over. Wow, you make it look so easy to shorten my chain. I NEVER thought of doing it the way you just showed on your tutorial. Thanks a million!
