What a fantastic introduction! I needed this in my life. Even if you have been crocheting for a while, there are so many useful tip/ tricks it's still a great watch. Can't wait to watch more from Ms. Chan.

This was great! I've been crocheting for a while and still learned a lot. And I would say it is very beginner friendly.
