Not long ago I got it into my head that I would like to crochet, so I bought a book, a hook and some yarn. My friend told me that it was easy, once you get going. I struggled with the book instruction, never sure if what I had in my hand matched the diagrams or if I was doing it right at all. I was struggling to make a foundation chain of the right tension, dropping stitches, dropping hooks, this DVD sorted me out in 20 minutes. Clearly presented for both left and right handers, excellent explanations and demonstrations, ample time to stitch along. After my recent experiences with hook and book, I can't believe I'm crocheting, but I am!
