Vickie is such a wealth of information! This particular class might not be the best choice for a completely brand new crocheter, but if you have crocheted anything already, the explanations are great. She makes doing picots seem really straightforward and un-intimidating!

Love the pattern and how easy and fast it works up. Live instruction was difficult to follow at times primarily due to the inability to clearly see the work. If lighting and camera angles was better and different colors were used, it would have helped.
