Una pena un curso con mucho potencial que tiene mala imagen, elemental en un curso donde se necesita ver el detalle. La traducción al español es confusa y las explicaciones son muy rápidas. Cuesta entenderlas.
Since she was six years old, Sonja has found crochet to be a form of meditation and balance, dedicating herself intensively to this art since 2014.
Her passion for granny squares and her ability to transform ideas into easy-to-follow patterns have made her a reference in the crochet community.
With a unique style that simplifies designs to make them accessible and relaxing, Sonja has collaborated and sold her creations through platforms like Etsy and Ravelry.
