Thank you, Grace for this excellent course! Everything was very easy to understand, and your style is inspiring! I was able to follow along and make sense of what I was doing each step of the way. I definitely recommend this course for other fellow beginners or anyone needing a refresher course!
She explains wonderfully and shares great ideas, I am excited and inspired by her, thank you so much!! 🥰🧶
ótimo!
This is the course I started with to learn from zero experience. The instructor shows you how to do the stitches well enough to get started, even if you have to consult some other sources, as I did, to see the techniques done with slower explanations and from different camera angles. This is specific to me, as I like to see various perspectives on new skillsets. Others might find all they need from watching Grace. She is a very good teacher and a fantastic designer. Check out her social media.
Lovely course and very well explained step by step. Finally I learned to crochet in an easy and guided way.
