Christine June 13, 2009 at 7:47 pm: Please enter me in! I can crochet a little, but would love to be better at it!
Nichole June 13, 2009 at 7:23 pm: Hi ! I’d love to learn how to crochet for real…I’ve tried a little from a book before and couldn’t quite get the hang of it. There are so many things I’d love to make but I think I’d start with baby blankets, especially for gifts. My aunt crocheted a blanket for me for Christmas when I was a teenager…I still have it ! Let’s just say it’s been with me for more than 20 years…I’d love to do the same for others as well as keep some around the house.
Kim June 13, 2009 at 6:31 pm: I have been trying off and on for years to learn how to crochet. I had a friend show me and when I brought my results back she said it was pretty, but it wasn’t crocheting. lol I have no clue what I did wrong.
I would like to win this DVD so I can learn at my own pace and back anything up that I didn’t catch the first time.
Sheri June 13, 2009 at 6:21 pm: I self-taught myself simple knitting and have been wanting to learn crocheting for a long time. I would love to win!
ThereO June 13, 2009 at 1:16 pm: I’m wanting to teach my daughter to crochet so this would be perfect. When I learned to crochet, I learned “wrong” (I don’t hold my hook the right way), so I need to correct my mistakes and teach my daughter the correct way. This would be a huge help. Thanks!
Monica June 13, 2009 at 11:21 am: This would really help me to remember what I learned oh so long ago. My eight year old daughter doesn’t even know what this is……time for her to learn. We would love to win this.
Bethany June 13, 2009 at 10:17 am: I would also love to learn to crochet. I am pregnant and it would be great to make things for the baby! Thanks for the giveaway!
Charissa June 13, 2009 at 8:22 am: I’d love to learn to crochet. I sew and usually have a craft or two in the works, but I just told my husband the other day I’d like to learn how to crochet or knit. This would be perfect. Thanks!
Megan@SortaCrunchy June 13, 2009 at 6:26 am: Oh, Stephanie! Oh, how I would LOVE to win this. I am so handwork-challenged, but I really, really want to learn. Like you said, I always think if I could find someone who would just sit down with me and teach me with patience and grace . . . This sounds like it would be so helpful to me! I would be happy to learn to crochet ANYTHING!
Cara June 13, 2009 at 5:58 am: Just like you I’d love to teach my (9 year old) daughter to crochet…but, ahem, I don’t know how. :)
Rachael June 13, 2009 at 5:30 am: I would truly love a copy of this DVD. I taught myself to knit a couple of years ago, but like you, I felt frustrated at times because I needed an actual human being to help me and show me how to correct my mistakes. This DVD sounds like a wonderful tool!
Cynthia June 12, 2009 at 11:15 pm: I would love to win this DVD since we already know the basics of crochet but would love to add on some better skills!!
~Cynthia and her three daughters… Shiloh, Bethany and Eden
Laura June 12, 2009 at 10:17 pm: I’d like to be able to crochet washcloths–my sis-in-law made us some awhile back and we really like them!
Kristi June 12, 2009 at 7:40 pm: Just recently started learning the art of crochet. Would love for my girls and I to learn this and make dish rags, towels, and they want to make purses.
so … sign us up :o)
Jodi June 12, 2009 at 6:31 pm: Oops! I posted my comment under the wrong heading! I would love to enter your contest! I have requested a DVD from my local library but the one time my number came up I was just too busy to sit down and do it! Thanks for entering me into the contest!

Blogged about the giveaway too.
Emily June 12, 2009 at 5:16 pm: I have been trying to self teach myself to knit and crotchet to no avail. I not only want to learn for myself but to also teach my girls when they are older. What an awesome giveaway.

Katie June 12, 2009 at 4:51 pm: I would love to have this DVD to teach me how to crochet the “right” way- I have done a few crochet projects, but really do not know the correct way to do it- I too would like to teach my daughter!
Mrs.Pear June 12, 2009 at 2:16 pm: Generations of women in my family crochet, but in the generation before mine, my mom has forgotten and my MIL hurt her finger and cannot anymore. I would like to learn to bless my family and teach my daughters.
I would like to crochet the accents for their pillows that my great granny put on mine (as well as accenting clothing), I would like to crochet them blankets and dishcloths.
I would love to be able to crochet blankets for babies in our church, and, Lord willing, the next generation of our family.
This DVD set is on my birthday list, it is one I think would be excellent, and I would love to learn!
Jenn June 12, 2009 at 1:43 pm: I bought a crochet kit because I really, really, really wanted to make the cute little sweater it had directions for. (I was pregnant at the time and feeling a little hormonal/emotional/sentimental.) Now that baby is 4 months old and big sister is 2 it’d be good to have some help getting the basics down so I stand a chance of actually making that darling sweater (and maybe some other cute things)!
Brooke June 12, 2009 at 12:29 pm: I’ve been wanting to take up a new craft, and crocheting would be fun to learn!
Amy June 12, 2009 at 11:31 am: I would love to learn to crochet! I think it would be great to crochet baby blankets for friends and family.
leslie June 12, 2009 at 10:20 am: it takes a good give away like this to make this lurker respond :) i’d love to learn how to crochet and could use all the help i could get.
Kristen June 12, 2009 at 10:19 am: I would love to learn to crochet! I love learning new skills and attempting fun projects such as this.
Traci June 12, 2009 at 9:10 am: I have been teaching myself to crochet and this would be really helpful. I want to learn to do something creative that creates products that I can share with others as gifts. Plus I like the simplicity of handmade items and the process of creating something from nothing.
Lenae June 12, 2009 at 9:04 am: I would love to learn to crochet with this DVD! My husband’s grandmother is amazing at crochet and has made a blanket for every one of her grandchildren. We have one for both our sons, and even have my husband’s from when he was a baby! I was honored and touched when she gifted me with a crocheted blanket of my very own a few years ago. I would love to be able to pick up this skill and bless people the way she has through a simple, homemade gift.
Darcië June 12, 2009 at 8:31 am: I was taught to crochet in college and the poor girl who taught me had her work cut out for her. I never want to put someone through what that poor girl went through teaching me so I think a DVD would be a perfect refresher! (My blankets are still crooked!)
Cathy June 12, 2009 at 8:25 am: Oh I would LOVE to have this DVD! I have 2 five-year-old girls that desperately want to learn crochet and knitting. Unfortunately, I was never taught. I also have a 4 week old baby girl that will need to learn! Thank you for offering this!
Courtney June 12, 2009 at 8:17 am: My grandma tried to teach me to crochet when I was a girl, but I could never get past one row. I would love to have a skill like this for relaxation and making gifts for others.
Marisa June 12, 2009 at 8:15 am: I have a basket of yarn, several different hook sizes and a few crochet “how to” books. They look lovely sitting on my shelf in the living room! Maybe one day I can actually create something!
Gina June 12, 2009 at 8:15 am: Looks great! I’ve heard crocheting is easier than knitting… I hope so:)
Kim June 12, 2009 at 8:08 am: I would enjoy brushing up on my crocheting and teaching my daugther. I know the basics, but have a difficult time with beyond that. Thank you for the giveaway.
Muthering Heights June 12, 2009 at 7:42 am: I would love to learn to make clothing items/diaper covers for my (soon to be) three little ones! :)
Thank you for the entry!
Liz L June 12, 2009 at 7:33 am: I want to learn how to make a granny square blanket!
Mrs. Hewett June 12, 2009 at 7:30 am: This resource sounds like just what I need. I have been wanting to learn how to crochet for a while but really need someone who can show me how to do it and who doesn’t mind repeating instructions over and over (the DVD would totally fit the bill).
My main inspiration to learn to crochet is to be able to make blankets, hats, booties and sweaters for orphaned babies in China. We have several friends who foster these children and need a regular supply of infant items. Added to that the personal nature of the handcrafted items and the result not only meets a physical need but is also a way to share love to these precious little ones and the families who pour out their lives for them.
Please include me in your drawing and thanks so much!
Blessings,
Mrs. H
Sandi June 12, 2009 at 7:26 am: I would love this…to learn a handy craft on my own time, anytime, is great. Can’t beat the DVD way of learning. Journey would enjoy this too.
JessW June 12, 2009 at 7:23 am: I have always wanted to learn crochet but never seem to have time to meet up with someone who has the time to teach me! This could be the perfect solution!
Amanda June 12, 2009 at 6:28 am: Oh how I would love to win this DVD! I have been wanting to learn how to crochet for a few years now, but have never gone out and purchased something to help me learn. My mother tried to teach me to knit when I was younger, but she is left handed and I am right handed and I couldn’t replicate in backwards what she was trying to show me! It would be such a blessing to win this. I would love to make our little baby (due in November) a lovely blanket from its Mommy!
mrsDeb June 12, 2009 at 6:21 am: I have a cyclical problem… I keep buying and storing skeins of yarn (sometimes instructions books or booklets). They stay neatly tucked away for a magical time when I’ll finally sit down to learn – but I never do :( and once I gave it all away, but this time I’m holding out because I know I’ve got the knack hidden deep within me :)
hope I win!
Risha June 12, 2009 at 6:14 am: I would love to win this! My mom taught me to knit, but she doesn’t really know how to crochet, so she couldn’t teach me. I would love to knit wool soakers, too, or dresses or those cute beanie hats for my girls! I’d love to crochet anything!
Bobbie June 12, 2009 at 5:45 am: What an awesome giveaway. I have tried to hard to do a granny square. I just don’t get it. And serioulsy, are blankets supposed to be straight? lol. And to learn how to read patterns would be awesome. I have 5 children and to be able to make scarves hats and gloves and even some sweaters would be so nice and make the budget so much easier.
Heidi June 12, 2009 at 5:44 am: That looks so neat! My daughter would love to learn how to make those flowers. :)
Sarah M June 12, 2009 at 5:29 am: I love to knit (working on baby legwarmers right now!) but I’ve never learned to crochet, so this would be perfect!! Apparently, it takes roughly 1/4 of the time to crochet a baby blanket than knit it! What a time-saver!

TallyMichelle June 12, 2009 at 5:13 am: Oh, this would be wonderful, and something I’d like to share with my daughter when she’s old enough.
Thanks!
Erica June 12, 2009 at 4:52 am: Hi. I’m trying to learn some home-skills that I’ve missed out on and crocheting is on my list :) I’ve recently seen some gorgeous baby hats that I’d love to try for babies of friends and babies at church :)
Katie June 12, 2009 at 4:51 am: I would love to crochet. I knit, but find it very different. I also love teaching good things I hear rave reviews about their cake decorating dvd.
Stacy June 12, 2009 at 4:14 am: This sounds great! I would love to learn. I had a dvd to teach me to knit and it was the best way for me to learn.
Meggan June 12, 2009 at 4:13 am: Oh boy! I’ve really been wanting to learn to crochet! I just taught myself how to knit a few months ago. I’d really like to make us some kitchen dishtowels to use instead of paper towels! Thanks!
Holly June 12, 2009 at 4:12 am: I have tried to teach myself how to crochet and can do very basic stitches (I know enough to make scarves, for instance) but am limited because I have trouble understanding the pattern language. I’m not even sure if I taught myself correctly! I would love to be able to crochet afghans especially…..I could make beautiful gifts for others AND keep warm as I stitch during the cold winters! :) Granny squares sound fun, too. I am definitely a visual learner and it would be so helpful to see an actual demonstration of how to crochet the correct way. Please enter me in the contest! Thanks!
