Me encanto hacer este curso! Las explicaciones son sencillas y es facil seguir el video . Las explicaciones paso a paso lo hacen muy entretenido, aunque el proyecto es largo y se requiere paciencia. Faltaria un video en donde enseñe a cambiar el hilo, ya que explicado escrito es medio confuso. Pero todo lo demas esta muy bien. Mi cardigan quedo divino!

I think the translation is not very acurate, also I am not sure when is a double stitch and when is a single stitch needed? I would still recommend this course for people who already have some crochet basics but not for complete beginners.

Explicaciones sencillas y fáciles de entender
She taught herself how to crochet during her free time in between work as a preschool teacher in rural areas. She slowly began selling her own designs until one day she decided to fully devote herself to the beautiful art of creating with hooks and yarn. That's what led her down the path to teaching classes and where she is today.
