Mrs. Langford’s Review
June 23, 2009
Here is Mrs. Stepanie Langford’s, of Keeper of the Home, review of ourLearn How to Crochet DVD.
Personally, I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet and have tried to teach myself. In the process I’ve created some, er, interesting projects on my own. Who knew blankets were supposed to turn out even on the sides? 
It’s the type of skill that is just so much easier to learn when you can really watch someone else, have them explain what they’re doing, showing you what different stitches look like and how they’re done.
For a newbie like me, the Basic Crochet DVD did just that! There’s nothing flashy or showy about it, which is part of it’s charm. It’s simply one woman patiently teaching another woman how to learn this beautiful, useful skill. And one of the best parts? If you missed something the first time, just pop the DVD back in and watch it again!
I mentioned a while back that I was wanting to teach my daughter how to crochet, and I realized in the process that I really needed to be taught properly first, before I could teach someone else. Abbie and I watched Basic Crochettogether, and although we haven’t done any projects together yet (I feel that she’s still a little young for the finger coordination), she was excited and inspired by watching and I felt so encouraged that I could really pick up the skills to begin making some of the things I’d love to make, and one day teach my daughter to do the same.
There are so many reasons that I’m eager to learn this skill, but I am especially eager to be able to create special gifts for others, to make items for my children like winter hats or wool soakers, and even to learn how to repurpose old items (like unwanted sweaters) into new and useful items- another way to be both frugal and green!

Mrs. Langford has a REALLY NICE site, Keeper of the Home, for homemakers that want to go green!
