I love love love this class! A awsome compliment to the written pattern. Lena explains very well, her demonstration paste is on point and the stitch close ups are amazing. The closed captioning is also helpful. I recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn not only this style of Afghan but also new stiches. I'm fairly new to crochet, still a beginner with several easy projects under my belt and I was able to follow through no problem just enough challenge for myself.

This was challenging and very rewarding. I enjoyed this beautiful pattern and look forward to making many more blankets with it. I highly appreciate the video tutorial.

I am fairly new to crochet and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern and class. The video tutorial was very easy to follow and the instructor referring to the written pattern really helped me learn how to read a pattern! The blanket is beautiful and I am looking forward to creating another one! Great project, great class highly recommend.

I love this pattern and video. I will make a few of these. The 4 stars is because the video repeat button function has suddenly disappeared. It was a great help to so see view over again in increments of 30 seconds 60 seconds and 90 seconds. I really hope this gets fixed. I know a lot of people that are making these are disappointed too.
