Excellent DVD for Beginners!
|
When I bought this dvd, I was hoping that it would help me with my crocheting skills (okay, I have very minimal crocheting skills). I couldn't really figure out the abbreviations in the easy crochet books. If you're like me, I'm more of a visual learner.
This DVD is great. It demonstrated how to go over the different basic stitches, such as, single crochet, slip stitch, half double crochet, and treble crochet.It also shows you how to yarn over and how to hold the hook properly with the right tension.
What's really important is that the camera zooms into the actual stitches, so you can see HOW it's supposed to be crocheted. I had looked at most of the You-Tube videos on-line, and they are not as detailed as this video, but I suppose that's to be expected. I also had another crocheting dvd, but it wasn't as good and thorough and detailed as this dvd.
Another good feature is how they step you through the projects that they have on the dvd. (Their projects on the dvd are a spa cloth, open work scarf, granny squares mini-purse, and a belt.) After showing you the stitches, it pauses to allow you to keep up with Melissa. Then you can start the dvd again for the next segment or phase of the project. Also, it shows you the instructions of the project after each segment. (This has helped me decipher crochet patterns.) I was able to do granny squares with one of the projects (granny square mini-purse), but of course, I had to redo it a couple of times because I needed to figure it out--challenged that way. However, it didn't take me long to complete it.
In any case, I highly recommend buying this dvd if you are a beginner. I think intermediate crocheters would probably find this too basic. I am going to order the Crochet Stitches in Motion dvd, and I have bought the kitting version of the series. I can't wait to watch them! :) |
