I am new to chrochet and I understood everything she was explaining.  I haven't tried it yet but the instructions were very clear and it seems quite doable to me.  I will, of course, follow along again once I get the yarn so I do not have to memorize the pattern.  

The leaves weren't very clear. Not sure why some of mine didn't look flat along the bottom when I finished the 6 small leaves before sewing together. That didn't help when attaching the leaves which was very difficult.
