Kristin Omdah's DVD goes way too fast. She doesn't really teach you anything. I feel like I wasted my money on this one. Love her work tho.
Not impressed. The beginner stiches are great for step by step instructions. But when you get to the more advanced. Parts are left out. In joining the hairpin lace pannels. Great explanation on beginning of the row. But, no explanation on what to do with the loops left on your hook at the end of the row. Trying to find the patterns mention is impossible. Not only are they just reference to go to the website. The name of the pattern is missing on all the patterns. I tryed to go find the patterns for the hairpin lace and the scarf motive. Unable to locate at all. Since I can not find the patterns. I am disappointed. At least they could of referenced the names or included the patterns with the DVD.
I was disappointed. On the hairpin lace especially. During the connecting of the pannels was so short it did not show how to finish off the rows. Just how to start the rows for connecting. When you get to the end you still have loops on the hook and are left wondering what to do with the loops. It is great video for basics. Very fast pace. very short clips. Looks like the video took parts of other videos and when edited together. No one notice missing information for finishing what was started. It refers to patterns which I would love to try refering just back to the website with out even the name of the pattern to search for. I tryed to search for the patterns referenced in the video and been unable to locate the patterns. Either for the hairpin lace or the scarf that shows connecting the motifs. Both of which I want to make. I have learned the stiches for each, but being unable to locate the pattern makes what I learned useless.
