VIDEOS (uses American
terminology)
Also found at
Crochet
Cabana channel at YouTube
All videos use American terminology.
Videos were created using my Panasonic camcorder or my Kodak EasyShare digital camera and the program Pinnacle Studio 12. The "green screen" is a cloth that came with the program.
Thanks to my husband and daughter for teaching me how to use Pinnacle, to Beth Ham for her tips on making videos. Thanks also to all the wonderful people who have given me tips and taught me much about crochet itself through the years so that today I would have the knowledge to show you! Special thanks to Katy and Diane who gave me the first crochet lesson while on vacation in Mississippi, summer of 1980.
