01You don't have to be crafty. You have to be shown the first step.
Most people who give up on crochet were never shown the beginning. They opened a tutorial that started in the middle and assumed the rest.
Here the second lesson is only about how to hold the hook and the yarn. The third is a slip knot and a chain. Nothing is skipped.
02One teacher and one path, instead of forty saved videos.
Free tutorials are good. The trouble is the order: each one is by a different person, with different yarn, and none of them knows what you watched before.
This is thirty days in order with the same teacher. Each day adds one thing to the day before.
03You finish real things, not practice squares.
What you make along the way
- A granny-square pouch you sew together yourself
- A headband and a beanie
- A bee keychain
- The bunny
★★★★★I've never made anything with my hands in my life. I was the girl who never completed her art work in school.
04Mistakes get a lesson of their own.
Stitches too tight, gaps, edges that slant: Day 7 is a whole lesson on tension and common mistakes. Almost everyone's first chain is uneven. It is not a sign you can't do this.
05You learn to read patterns, so you are not stuck with us.
Day 12 teaches the abbreviations every pattern uses: ch, sc, hdc, dc, inc, dec. After that, other people's patterns stop looking like a foreign language.
06The BBC told your teacher's story. So did The Times of India.
★★★★★Now I can understand patterns, all thanks to you. It's a very big achievement for me.
07It is $29 once, and you can change your mind.
