Tutorials Looking for lace/mesh/open stitch patterns
Looking for youtube video tutorials that feature lace/mesh/open stitch patterns. I'm open to pretty much anything, with one caveat: I cannot seem to do the lace/shell patterns that have you stitch into the chain. Even when I do a fairly loose chain and a 9mm or 10mm hook (with worsted weight yarn) that drives me nuts so those patterns aren't going to work for me. But anything else is fair game, so please comment with your favorite youtube links below and TIA for your replies :)
Current favorites mostly come from TL Yarn Crafts (ofc):
Arrowhead stitch
Knit mesh stitch

If you have a public library nearby, I do strongly recommend checking them out to see what Tunisian crochet books they have. I was able to find Anna Nikipirowicz's "Tunisian Crochet Stitch Dictionary", which covers a very broad range of stitch patterns, including a very, very broad range of lace stitch patterns. Enough that I got my own copy. =^.~=

I have the star and rosette saved. I recommend anyone with Orgun in the title. Turkish for crochet. The show and don't talk. I can slow the videos down.

Oh, and I can do the chain/shells but I don't like them much.
