My Polish grandmother could crank out an afghan quilt in one afternoon, and all of her kids had enough blankets and crocheted sweaters to keep them warm on the coldest Midwestern night. Today, with inexpensive alternatives available at any Wal-Mart, many would simply say "why bother?", but the fact is that crocheting--along with knitting, sewing, and quilting--are perennially popular activities. In Learn to Crochet, host Aurèle de la Brosse teaches viewers how to do a simple chain, a single crochet, a double crochet, and--for those bold of heart--a treble crochet, using straightforward instruction and good close-ups. Other videos in the series include Learn to Embroider, Learn to Knit, Learn to Needlepoint, and Learn to Make a Granny Square. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Asala)
