Jeg er flittig bruger af videoerne herinde men syntes også den her går meget stærkt. Dog er det lykkedes mig at få lavet en rude, men mangler kanten rundt. Forstår ikke det her: "Fortsæt rundt med 2 st-grupper med 3 st og 3 lm imellem i hver hjørne, og langs siderne 3 st i hver 1 lm-bue og med 1 lm imellem hver gruppe" og kan heller ikke se hvornår eller hvordan det gøres på videoen!! :(

Den mormorsrutan är helt omöjlig att förstå och följa, det går för fort och det syns inte alltid hur man ska göra. Delen när instruktören "drar" i maskorna är obegriplig! får inte till det alls : (

Génial, je viens enfin de comprendre comment faire ! C'est vraiment une très bonne idée d'avoir les explications écrites avec la vidéo, surtout pour les grandes débutantes :)

Tak for ideen med videoer. Visuelt ofte bedre. Men denne her er beskåret alt for meget. Det vil ofte være nybegyndere der bruger videoer, og delen med hvordan man afslutter første runde er væk mm. Det gør den desværre ubrugelig. Jeg talte med min niece som hækler for første gang, og hun ville meget hellere have haft den i fuld længde... Man kan jo altid spole. Garnet er også meget tykt. Svært at sammenligne med det man sidder med

Tack för era utomordentligt instruktiva videos! En trygghet när man kör fast o. inte riktigt förstår vad som menas i en del beskrivningar. Bra med en hjälpande hand!
