DVD Is Great Learning Tool But Buy Difft Yarn & Susan Bates Crochet Hooks
I am a beginner. I was practicing a bit of crochet with a Susan Bates crochet hooks before this item came. The dvd is a great learning tool, but I recommend getting the Susan Bates crochet hook to learn instead of the one that came with this package. I found that the thin 4 mm crochet hook that came with the dvd is too thin for the yarn that came with it. It's either that or the yarn is not that great since practicing on it, the hook would not pick up the yarn accurately - but cuts through the middle of the yarn string itself. I would think that would frustrate a new beginner trying to yarn over and bring to the front a full yarn string, but instead pull only half of it (in the middle of the yarn string). Have fun learning to crochet with this dvd, but I recommend just buying the DVD only that they do sell and get the Susan Bates crochet needle and yarn separately. Remember that certain yarns label certain crochet needle sizes. I looked at the yarn again and it is definitely weak yarn.
