So far, I like the class very much. I have only finished the first project but am looking forward to learning the techniques the other projects will teach me. I do hope to take more classes when I am done with this one. Well done!

I know how to crochet, but this class gave me more skills to design beautiful scarves and the hat was very nice too. Please buy the class, it will be a good investment for the year and many more years to come.

So far I am enjoying the course. I used to crochet but haven't touched it in years and have forgotten a lot. Right now I'm working on a hat. Made many hat and scarf sets years ago and also mile a minute afghans Hoping this course will refresh my memory. Instructor seems easy to follow.
