J'ai suivi ce cours pour apprendre le tricot sans dépenser une fortune, et honnêtement les premiers projets sont parfaits pour les débutants. La progression est claire et les explications sur le choix des aiguilles très utiles. Le seul bémol, c'est que certaines techniques passent un peu vite pour quelqu'un qui n'a jamais tenu des aiguilles avant.

Solid intro to knitting on a tight budget, the shopping list for yarn and needles alone saved me a lot of guesswork. Some of the finishing techniques near the end felt rushed compared to the earlier pacing. Still ended up with a finished dishcloth and a coaster set I'm actually proud of.

كنت أبحث عن طريقة أتعلم بها الحياكة دون شراء أدوات غالية الثمن، وهذه الدورة كانت بالضبط ما احتجته. الشرح يبدأ من الصفر تماماً، من كيفية اختيار الخيوط الرخيصة المناسبة إلى طريقة إمساك الإبر بشكل صحيح. أعجبني كثيراً أن كل مشروع بسيط ومناسب للمبتدئين، وأنهيت أول وشاح لي بنفسي بعد أسابيع قليلة فقط. الإيقاع مريح جداً ولا يشعرك بالضغط، حتى لو أخطأت في غرزة كان بإمكاني إعادة مشاهدة الجزء ببساطة. أنصح بها فعلاً لمن يريد تجربة هواية يدوية جديدة بميزانية محدودة.

Ho imparato le basi del lavoro a maglia con materiali economici, anche se alcune spiegazioni sui punti più complessi potrebbero essere più dettagliate.

คอร์สนี้เหมาะกับคนที่อยากเริ่มถักนิตติ้งแต่ไม่อยากลงทุนซื้ออุปกรณ์แพงๆ เลยค่ะ สอนตั้งแต่การเลือกไหมพรมราคาประหยัดไปจนถึงการขึ้นเข็มแรกแบบละเอียดมาก ทำผ้าพันคอผืนแรกเสร็จแล้วรู้สึกภูมิใจมากจริงๆ

編み物はお金がかかる趣味だと思っていたので、手に入りやすい毛糸で始められる内容がとてもありがたかったです。最初の作品を完成させたとき、自分でこんなものが作れたんだと感動しました。基本の編み方の説明が写真と一緒で分かりやすく、つまずいてもすぐ戻って確認できました。欲を言えば作品のバリエーションがもう少しあると嬉しかったですが、初心者には十分すぎる内容です。気軽に手芸を始めたい人にぴったりだと思います。

Llevaba tiempo queriendo aprender a tejer pero me daba pereza gastar en materiales sin saber si me iba a gustar, así que este curso fue perfecto para empezar sin arriesgar mucho dinero. Las explicaciones sobre cómo elegir lana económica y agujas básicas son muy claras, nada de tecnicismos innecesarios. Cada proyecto está pensado para ir subiendo de dificultad poco a poco, y terminé haciendo un posavasos y luego una bufanda sencilla que uso todos los días. La instructora repite los pasos varias veces desde ángulos distintos, lo cual ayuda muchísimo cuando recién estás aprendiendo el punto. Terminé el curso con ganas de seguir tejiendo cosas para regalar.

Corso perfetto per iniziare a lavorare a maglia senza spendere una fortuna in filati, e il mio primo scaldacollo è venuto benissimo.

Utile ed economico, ma un po' lento.

I never thought I'd finish a knitting project without spending a fortune on yarn, but this course walked me through picking cheap materials that still look great. The instructor breaks down casting on and basic stitches so clearly that my first scarf actually came out even. By the third project I felt like I actually knew what I was doing.

Ero completamente a digiuno di lavoro a maglia e cercavo qualcosa che non mi costringesse a comprare filati costosi per iniziare. Questo corso parte davvero da zero, spiegando come scegliere ferri e lana economici senza sacrificare la qualità del risultato finale. Le lezioni sui punti base sono lentissime nel modo giusto, così anche chi ha le mani goffe come me riesce a seguire. Ho completato il mio primo sottobicchiere e poi una sciarpa, ed entrambi sono venuti meglio di quanto sperassi. Adesso guardo i gomitoli di lana in negozio con occhi completamente diversi.

Me gustó mucho aprender a tejer con materiales baratos, solo que algunas puntadas intermedias se explican un poco rápido.

Buen curso para empezar a tejer sin gastar mucho, aunque me hubiera gustado más práctica con el punto elástico.
