I tried crocheting a few times before with books, but didn't get it until this kit. I'm glad I started with the blue penguin because that is what all of the intro videos use to teach the techniques. The videos are short and bookmarked, so you can easily go back and rewatch them. They are very clear. By far the best I've seen. The kit comes with everything you need to make the cute toy except scissors." - Motek Fourtytwo
