Customer Reviews for Learn to Crochet

I just finished watching Learn to Crochet with Ellen Gormley. Ellen is an excellent teacher, and so enthusiastic. She makes learning fun. I have learned so much from this class, never having picked up a crochet hook before. I used to watch my aunt crochet slippers all the time and now I feel confident enough to tackle just about anything. Please keep the classes coming, this is a fabulous way to learn new skills and practice on some old ones. Thank you so much!

So I learned how to Crochet a few of the basic stitches about 10 years ago, and I wanted to get back into it. While I knew how to do some of the very basic stitches like the single crochet and chain stitch, there was a lot of things I could not do, like read a pattern, advanced stitches and measuring gauge. So after surfing the internet for videos I came across this site. After reading the reviews and thinking about it, I decided to give it a try!

I am on the Motif Blanket now, and I must say, Ellen is a wonderful teacher! I love the "rewind/playback feature" that allows me to watch the steps on a loop as many times as I need to till I learn the step and can move on. I have started a blog that show some of my creations as I make them, along with the ones you can find in this tutorial.

If you do not take anything else from this review know this ... I would highly recommend this class to anyone -- regardless of whether you are brand new or in need of a refresher to help relearn the skills again!

Thank you so much. I know how to crochet it just made things more simple and more easier and detailed. Thank you Ellen, I learned how to crochet as a young 13 year old girl and taught myself through the years. I see I was doing everything right except knowing how to connect the motifs right. Crocheting helps me relax and think more clearly. I'd recommend your videos to anyone that knows how to crochet to sharpen up their skills, and even for the beginner. You make it so easy to learn thank you!!!

I am thrilled I found the online class. I took a short class years ago but I had forgotten so much. This class with Ellen has I enabled me to be able to pick the craft up at age 63. My grandmother used to crochet all the time so I know where the love for the art started. Thank you Ellen and Annie's for offering such a wonderful class. I crochet some everyday and hope to get good enough to inspire my granddaughter. I cannot think of anything to change except I would love to be able to take additional classes taught by Ellen.

I loved the simplicity with which Ellen teaches crocheting. I learned how to crochet when I was a child but didn't really know how to read a crochet pattern. After taking the class, at my own leisure which I love, I can now read crochet patterns and learn new stitches as I go along! The class provided many new stitches for me. Thanks.

I love this class! I never thought I would be able to do this, but Ellen is a wonderful teacher. It's so easy, and I love how Ellen is here anytime I need her. Anyone can do this, it's so much fun and a great way to relax. Also, all of the amazing things you can make for friends and loved ones. If you want to learn to Crochet, this is the class for you. Ellen is an awesome teacher, she doesn't go too fast, and makes learning fun and easy! Thank you so much :)

I too just got done my dishcloth and it was really much easier than I thought it would be, although my edging needs some work. Because Ellen taught us the basic stitches, when my boss wore a gorgeous infinity scarf and she said "oh you chain one, double crochet three, chain one in three different colors" I knew exactly what she meant. Love this class!

I have been trying to learn to crochet. I recently took a class at a local craft store but definitely needed more direction. I bought the Learn to Crochet DVD and have already learned so much! I just finished the first project (dishcloth) and feel very proud of my accomplishment! Ellen Gormley's presentation is done at a nice pace and she emits a warm and patient presence! I wish she was my next door neighbor! On to the second project! We need more instructional DVDs like this one!
