Here are some of them:

    Thanks for reminding me about the wonderful things to be found on You Tube! I had no idea it had grown so large. :-)

    Since Kim Guzman is such a tunisian crochet guru, I’ll add that there are numerous you-tube videos for tunisian also. I think they would be great for visual learners. Also, just fun to watch. I find that I pick things up so much more quickly if I can see them being made. I guess that’s what you-tube is all about.
