Here is my opinion of the course.
If you want to follow a tutorial on how to make socks from the instructor, this course is for you. I was hoping that the course would give me more details on how to make my own sock based on measurements that I could adapt to future creations.
The instructions in the videos are very repetitive, in my opinion the videos from the second unit were enough to understand the concept.
Even so, the instructor is good.
