prevents frustration.

While having a book or two on crocheting is certainly helpful, a newbie like myself found this DVD to be the most valuable in terms of actually learning basic stitches. The close-ups of Melissa's hands make it easy to see exactly what she is doing. Once you get the basics down, the written directions in books are much easier to understand. I started with the DVD, practiced my stitches and then went with a pattern in one of my books.

If you cannot afford a DVD, check out YouTube. There are a couple of crochet veterans who have made their own homemade tutorials. :o)

Very in depth instruction on crocheting! I'm very pleased with this DVD! I already know the basics (how to make a chain), but after that I'm lost. I've tried looking at books, but I need to physically see someone doing the stitches. My grandmother and mother are pros when it comes to crocheting, however, they work too fast for me to really see how they're making the stitches. Now that I have this DVD, I can roll with them! Highly recommended!!

The classes are good, but the DVD format is bad.

Once you are in a section, you cannot go to another. For instance, while doing a project, I could not go through a menu to a lesson to refresh my memory. I was very disappointed, because in order to see the main menu I had to remove the CD and start from the beginning to see all the chapters.

I bought the "The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting," by Nici McNally, at the same time as I bought "I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting," and the difference between the two DVDs is like night and day. Navigating in the knitting video is a breeze, while navigating in the crocheting video is very time-consuming.

The crocheting presenter, Melissa Leapman, doesn't look too happy about what she is doing. She is probably mad because someone made her wear those ill-fitting crochet sweaters. A smile once in a while never hurts!

I do not recommend this DVD and the reason is, " I don't know why this lady is going at the speed of light crocheting". Is she not suppose to be teaching us to crochet? I watched 5 times her doing this square and she is going so fast that you can't see anything she is doing. She does at one point in the video say, " I know it looks like I am going to fast but when you get more experienced with your crochet you will too." Hello, lady! More experience is what we are trying to get too. So, after she flys through it with a blur she says," when you get too the point I am at press play and a crochet instruction for the square comes on the screen, duh! You are going so fast that we will never get to the point of pressing play because you need to let us watch you crotchet. That is all I have for this DVD. I would give her no stars if I could. Next time you make a crotchet instructional dvd just remember it is too teach others whom has never touched a crotchet needle before that is why we ordered your intructional video and (slow down).

After struggling rather unsuccessfully to teach myself via books I bought this DVD in the hope that it would be as if someone was right there with me showing exactly what to do. And I wasn't disappointed! Everthing is demonstrated, and the crochet patterns are also on view so you learn how to read a pattern as well. I had this delivered a couple of weeks before Christmas, since then I have made 6 scarves, 5 hats and two handbags!

I found that I gained confidence quickly, along with techniques and speed. The DVD is well presented and easy to follow and the menu includes an A to Z of crochet terminology. I heartily recommend this DVD to everyone.

CONS
DVD ORGANIZATION - The organization of the topics was very unorganized. There were too many topics to choose and when you would pick one, it would only last 20 seconds. So you would have to keep pushing the "play" button every 20 seconds, then click on the next topic.

INSTRUCTOR
She rushed through how to hold the yarn. I watched it several times, but she went at 90 mph so i never learned.

CAMERA WORK
It seemed like a lot of vital moments were cut off. Like it would show the instructors hand with all the yarn placed on her finger instead of showing how she placed the yarn on her fingers

LACK OF PROJECT LESSONS
She never showed all of the projects step by step, the wash cloth only had written instructions, it never showed her doing the project. It was really weird.

I really wanted to learn to crochet, but this dvd was a huge disappointment. It is by no means a way for a beginner to learn. And if you are advanced, then theres no need for a dvd such as this. On a side not, the instructor was posing in awkward positions and she was very serious. It was not fun at all.

This DVD has everything you need to begin crocheting. Even if you're a beginner, pop this DVD in and you'll be on your way within minutes! I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting has everything you need to get started and has an excellent reference guide to help you get past common roadblocks. This DVD makes it really easy to dive into the world of crochet and the projects are totally fun!...definitely a good buy!
