Average Review:
Tunisian is so much fun!
I took this class to learn the various types of Tunisian crochet. It is so beautiful and looks very difficult but it is really straighforward with Jennifer's instruction.
Colour and style
I had previously taught myself nearly all of the stitch work covered in this course as I have a fascination with tunisian crochet. However, I decided to take this course because I've been impressed with the instructor's designs and colour-work and thought I might be able to kick things up a notch.
I wasn't disappointed. Not only did I pick up a few techniques that I wasn't aware of - particularly the ending stitch of the forward pass before changing colours. But I got some fantastic ...
tablet love
Watch this on a tablet for the best experience. Video froze a bit in Chrome on my laptop, but steamed beautifully on the tablet.
A very relaxed pace with detail instruction. Very enjoyable. Can't believe how many stitches were presented. One of my favorite aspects was seeing the different stitches swatched. Also enjoyed the styling guide.
I had no intention of making the garment. I came strictly for the technique.... and I'm very pleased. Thanks Jennifer and crew.
Love The Class
I have done Tunisian Crochet before, and I wish I had taken the class first! I made the cropped jacket in the beginning of the year, and this course would have made it so much easier. I especially love the safety pin tip, which had I used it, would have saved me countless hours of frogging my sweater to get the edges right.
Thanks Jennifer for all the help.
Love the class
Jennifer is an excellent teacher. Her method of sharing information with her students is great. She gives you explicit instructions and she shows you as well. I am no longer intimidated to try Tunisian crochet. Thank you Jennifer!
