Yey! Big news, my second video course is already available on Udemy! The course is 40$, but here is a discount coupon for you!

We will learn the following tricky items:

• Puff Flower
• Hibiscus Flower
• Irish Lace Rose
• Corkscrew Spiral
• Irish Lace Button or Pistil
• Irish Lace Leaf

We will practice the elements first with a thicker yarn, and than in the second half, we will assemble the wreath together.
Naturally you can use these items on anything, you don't have to make the wreath itself. You can saw them on a hair-clip, on clothes, on a hat, and the list is never ending. And obviously you can combine the element freely, as you wish!
This course was designed for experienced crocheters, so if you have done my Crochet Basics course, and practiced a little, you are good to go. I will explain everything in the ordinary way you are used to by now, also you will find the Pattern Reading explanations after each item, as well as you can download the patterns as PDFs, attached to the Pattern Reading lessons.
I show you one way of assembling, but you can do anything you wish! For collecting ideas, check for example Pinterest, type - crochet wreath.

If you like the course, please leave a review, this is very very valuable for me, and this way you help me to make more courses (more nice reviews - more sale - more chance to put more effort into course making).
Shall you have any question, suggestion, or would like to send me photos of your creations, I am always very happy to hear from you! You can get in touch with me on Udemy, my FB page or via e-mail.
Enroll quickly, and let`s start to crochet today!

I had an interesting conversation the other day with someone on FB. She was in a discussion with a friend of mine, and said, she forgot how to do granny squares, but wants to do them again, and searching for a video tutorial for that.
My friend suggested and tagged me in her response, so from this point, I joined as well.
I gave her a discount coupon for my Crochet Basics course, but she immediately replied, why to spend money, if she can find this information for free?
Fair point. And it made me think.
On one hand, I assume, she knows already how to crochet, was only looking for particularly the granny square - which I have as well on my youtube channel for free, so no need to invest in a  course.
I started to think about, what extra am I giving, which makes it worth to pay for my tutorials?

I know very well, what is available free on the internet, I have spent years and years to search for things, searching for certain things, and if I have found it, still the quality of the video, voice, the position of the camera, the style of the explanation... these are vary in a very big scale, and let's be honest, the majority is not very enjoyable.
Furthermore a great collection of all the needed skill, is really hard to find.
I try to design my courses in a way, they include some special tricks and skills, which also took me years to discover and master.
FSC - Foundation Single Crochet technique for example I only learned some years ago, and I find it really useful!
I will soon release the Floral Wreath course on Udemy, where I collected 6 items - each of them took me a while to find, how to make, and none of them can be figured out easily, just by looking at them. They are very special crochet items - not a surprise, half of the items are coming from irish lace crochet, which technique is fascinating me.

The other thing is, sometimes in the magazines they don't actually tell the entire process in detail. I have seen a lot of Xmas crystal pattern, only they forgot to tell, that you need to starch them - by pinning it onto a hard surface, otherwise they will never look like in the magazines picture. Honestly, they will look awful without starching.
I mean these little - but crucial details. I believe, these articles are made by non-crocheters, they have never made this item, found the nice picture, looked good, asked someone to make a description, and that is it.
I have a book, with lots of basic techniques described, from England. All the items has a diagram, they explain the pattern with abridgments and with the diagram also. I look at the diagram, I try to make it following the instructions, and it looks not nice. I try to do it again and again, finally I come up with a better solution. Because how to go to the next round, can be solved in many ways, (talking about patterns here) but it is matter, actually HOW you are going to do it!
So I keep on doing it, until I find the best solution.
And I provide these knowledge to my students. Everything I teach is tried and tested.
There is a reason why they emphasize in the cooking recipe books or sites, that these recipes are all tested and cooked. 
A proficient chef can figure out a meal in their head, like I can come up with new patterns easy. But when I actually do them, turns out, that what I imagined, doesn't work 100% the way I thought it would. And that little matters a lot!
So that is why. I put extra - hard to find patterns and techniques, most of the people never heard of, and I do actually try and test them, and provide a simple demonstration, with the most complicated thing can be done easily.
And my courses are really fairly cheap ;)

I try to edit the Floral Wreath in the next 10 days... so stay tuned ;)
Spring is coming, time to make some fresh beauty into the room!

Hello!
I am back here again! It has been very busy straight after Xmas, sorry to be silent for so long. A lot is going on, I try to get them all together for you.
Lets see...

Then I have started to record my new online video course!!
This time it is for experienced crocheters, but if you have finished my starter course, and practiced a bit since, you will be able to do it.
Anyways, a bit of a challenge won't hurt.
In January the weather was pretty awful, there were some days, when I couldn't go out of the house at all, so I really needed some colours, flowers and spring feeling, so I decided to make a crochet floral wreath as a video course.
And again, I make it in English and in Hungarian, but since I am not a voice actor, I need to record it twice... edit it twice... so this is quite a bit of a work, but I don't want to let my dear Hungarian followers down. 

I was contacted by OfCourse.co.uk, a British video course hosting site, that they want my Crochet Basics course on their site. That was a fantastic news, so I didn't hesitate at all, you can find my course there for 49 GBP on the link above.

So these are the major things happened in January, I don't complain at all, the year starts pretty well!
In February I plan to launch the new video course - Floral Wreath - both on Udemy and OfCourse - and of course :) on Webuni - the Hungarian site.
​
And I can start to plan the next one... What should it be about? I was thinking, to make it about granny squares, and how to make a bag out of them... What do you think?
What would you like to learn about?

I have finished my first kindle e-book about how to crochet a Puff Flower!
In this book I guide the reader through the whole process step-by-step, and while this is not for totally beginners, if the basic stitches are going well, with this guide it will be easy.
I wanted to find a a pattern which is a challenge, hence actually easy to do. I chose finally the puff flower, which caused me some headache back then, trying to figure out, how it is done really. The puff flower is not so easy to figure out at the first look, hence if you know the trick, it is actually pretty simple to make.

The book has 42 photos about every single step, and with every photo, excessive explanation comes along.
The price is: 5.07 $

I am running out of the basic stitches to make video tutorials of, so a bit more advanced crochet techniques are coming: puff and popcorn stitches. Obviously I had to make flowers out of them, and no doubt, the puff flower became the number one winner as my video crew concerns :)

I have made quite a few flowers, and been thinking what to make out of them… until this week my name sister – Mila Emese was born in Denmark, gorgeous daughter of my dear friends, Elvira and Kjeld, so the plan is forming, I need to make a baby blanket out of puff flowers… it will be super cute I am sure :)

The video tutorials will come out, just needs some editing… and yes, still translation to English. Now that is a challenge yet, but should be able to climb this too!!

I am volunteering at the Mályvavirág (Hibiscus) Foundation, which is supporting woman healing from cervical cancer. The foundation is still quite new, and cannot collect 1% donations from the annual tax.
So we had to come up with an idea, how to collect donation, and my idea was to make these badges - hibiscus badges - for donation, so the supporters can have something in return, and wear these sweeties proudly.
I am very happy to say, the plan worked very well, and the badges are making nice income month by month.

I was asked to make a video about how this flower is made, so we will record it on the tomorrow shooting ;)

Here are some of the previous ones:
