Delta Dawn just enjoy the process. When I think of my first afghan I laugh. It was a learning experience. The important part is you should be just chilling out and enjoying yourself. It's my favorite chill out activity. Ok I undid it all. I couldn't follow the video and she was going faster than I could keep up. Plus I couldn't see well enough

Delta Dawn just enjoy the process. When I think of my first afghan I laugh. It was a learning experience. The important part is you should be just chilling out and enjoying yourself. It's my favorite chill out activity. Ok I undid it all. I couldn't follow the video and she was going faster than I could keep up. Plus I couldn't see well enough Oh no! Well, don't give up! I have attempted various video tutorials on youtube before. Some know what they are doing, and others? I don't know why they made a video! Impossible to follow. Even Mickey from Crochet Crowd sometimes does a bad job of making a video. You mentioned that you haven't crocheted in such a long time. Maybe do some smaller projects to get back into it. Re-learn how to do a single crochet, a half-double crochet, a double crochet. Make some swatches and get used to doing them. The Caron Cakes colors are gorgeous, but I had the same reaction as you in waiting to get to the color change. So put it away for now, go get some cheap yarn for practicing, then try again. I love shell stitches, but they get tedious after a while. Plus they use up a lot of yarn! If you are on pinterest, check out different patterns and see if there is something that catches your eye. Then research it. Some videos are better than others. It's just a matter of finding the person who knows what they are doing. Good luck! Keep on keeping on!

I put it down for the night. I got too frustrated with not being able to see. I can't see what I am typing now even. I think it's going well. I am on row 2 and I am sure there are mistakes but it's fun and I like concentrating on it even for the few minutes that I am able. It gives my mind a rest as all I need to do,is count and find the right stitch.

Then I just found a big mistake I made. I don't want to unpick so it will have to be ok. I don't think it's the end of the world. The next row is kind of tricky so I have to rewatch the video a few times to get it I think.
