Do you want to learn to crochet or brush up on your skills? I found a great beginner series yesterday. Actually she has a tutorial for a shawl I want to make that lainey shared. As I was looking at her other videos, I came across her beginner videos. She even has a magic ring tutorial, a corner-to-corner tutorial, and granny squares. She starts from the very basics--supplies, chain stitch, etc. She teaches very clearly. I thought some of y'all might like it so here it is. Enjoy! Oh, and if you are advanced at crochet, check out her entire channel. GREAT stuff there! m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm1v3H_zVy6YFQVc9SXtHXboTBSAS9bUl |

Thanks! Excellent timing also.... I've been saying for years that I want to learn to crochet and I just never get around to it. Last summer dd and I bought these crochet kits to make Star Wars figures even though neither one of us knows a single crochet stitch. lol I'll take a look at these videos...maybe over Christmas vacation we can learn together.

Cool! I just learned a few years ago entirely from books and videos. My work is rough but getting better. I love videos like this, thanks!

Sweet! Thanks for sharing! Iāve always wanted to learn to crochet. I much prefer the look of crochet hats to knitted hats as a whole.

Thanks for sharing this! One of my goals for 2018 was to brush up on my crochet skills. I've made a few crocheted baby blankets, but haven't done anything for many, many years and can't wait to start again. I guess I'll have to roll this goal into my 2019 list!  |

Thanks for this. Love your new picture. š Awe, thank you. I took it in the car Saturday morning before heading to a Women's Ministry event at church. Thought it was time for an update. And hope these videos help each of you. She really has some great stuff. Definitely a great channel to subscribe to (at least for me). |

(Well, technically my mom showed me the very, very basics when I was young.) I got halfway decent, and then didn't do anything with it for a few years. Now I'm kind of restarting again, and if you read the craft thread, you'll see I've had some, ahem, challenges. Thanks, Patter! |

One thing that has helped me a ton is using the various ergonomic crochet hooks. Otherwise my hand cramps up and I don't generally have muscle/joint/hand problems. It helps kids, too, since there's more of an area to grasp.

You are just so talented when you say there are a bunch of ācardigans youād like to makeā I know you are serious and will have all these new clothes. That is just so cool. Back to regular crochet talk... |

Thanks for the link! My grandma taught us how when we were young, but I haven't crocheted in years so this will help. I've been thinking about taking it up again.
