I completely agree with you on the book part. I feel it’s easier to use a book for crochet. With a video, I’m having to pause it frequently which means moving my fingers from their “spot” on the project and then having to reconfigure them to do what I just watched. My brain can’t hold instructions for that long, better for me to have a book open to the spot and re-read than pause and rewind a video.

Which Tunisian crochet book are you using? I learned from a book that had Excellent instructions and so many different stitch types. I can’t remember the name of it and it’s probably hiding deep in my craft closet ATM.
