Hi there! Lots have been happening here at Debajo un botón... but I've been (obviously) pretty bad about keeping you updated.
The big news is that we have a 10-class course to learn knitting for absolute beginners at curious.com and it's ONLY $9.99 for a limited time! Each lesson builds on the one before and it takes you from choosing your tools to doing simple colorwork, with a ton of little tips along the way to make your life easier. In the techniques lessons (cast-on, cast-off and so on) you will learn three different ones to give you options (i.e.: long-tail, knitted and single-loop cast-ons).
All lessons where professionally shot and edited, so the quality is excellent, with close-ups when you need them and an easy pace to follow along. We are very proud of it and really believe that it is a great tool for beginners. Just click on the picture to go over to Curious.com to check it out! The first lesson is a free preview so you get an idea of how I teach, and if you want a better idea of how I teach techniques, you can have a look at the free Teo Hat Lessons on my curious profile.
Buying is easy: if you are getting it for yourself, just click on the yellow button and follow the instructions, if you want to give it as a gift, click on the small "Gift this course" link under said yellow button and you can schedule an email to be sent to the lucky person with instructions to enrol. Easy!
So, if you are looking for a last minute gift for a crafter in your life (or for yourself), look no further! All courses on Curious are half-price for the holidays! For just $9.99 you get 10 lessons and full support from me at Curious. And you can download the pretty gift certificate above by clicking on the picture; just print it, cut along the trim marks and slip it into a standard A-2 envelope!
If you want to make it even better, just add some #8needles and yarn for a perfect gift! (By the way, the course also comes with recommendations for tools, and documents to guide you through the tougher techniques).
Cheers to all and a very happy New Year
