logcabinmama Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks Wes, sure wish I could get going on some of this kind of work, but just can't get the hang of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 11, 2005 I can't get the hang of it either, but how I wish I could! so in hornor of our inability to crochet... http://www.crochetcabana.com/tutorials/ltc-foundation-ch.htm p.s. did you know that wrapping the yarn around your finger is like a tensioner on a sewing machine?! I just learned that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synn Posted January 13, 2005 I wanna learn how to knit! Cast on? Cast off? What the heck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo Posted January 13, 2005 Casting on is easy, it's the rest that I have trouble with and I was learning with a childrens book! My 14yo can knit and crochet, lets just say she didn't inherit that skill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redhenfarm Posted January 13, 2005 I do best with someone right there beside me showing me how to do things. I haven't crocheted for years. When my oldest was a baby our nextdoor neighbor taught me. I was making a baby afghan. We talked and crocheted and before I knew it it was a twin bed afghan! Jan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted December 13, 2005 I have been wanting to learn to crochet but I am left handed and needed to find instructions for left hander's. So....... Here they are for the lefties out there like me. http://www.crochet.org/lessons/lessonl/lessonl.html http://www.wonderful-things.com/newcrochet1a.htm http://www.craftbits.com/html/crochet-left.htm http://beadcrochet.com/lessons/lessonindex.htm http://www.crochetaustralia.com.au/webcontent4.htm http://ezinearticles.com/?Left-Handed-Crochet&id=85876 http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/crochetondoub.html http://www.crochenit.com/basic%20stitch%20...hand%20html.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 22, 2006 Well, I have been collecting crochet hooks, books and patterns for a few years now. I finally got a book that tells/shows very clearly how these stitches go together, both left hand and right hand. Where to connect them was my downfall previously. I started crocheting a week ago and so far have mastered: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and will be starting double crochet tonight or tomorrow. I'm just doing practice pieces. I can see where I have hooked into the wrong stitch and it shows on the back. Only a few places, though. The book says I can do a potholder with the stitches I've learned so far. I want to make a scarf with the fancy kind of yarns that I bought already, like eyelash yarn kind of. You mix it with regular yarn for strength and the fancy stuff for the feathery effect. I can hardly wait to get good enough to make it. The book I got is by Leisure Arts and is titled, 10 - 20 - 30 Minutes to Learn to Crochet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find crocheting to be much easier, for ME anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kygal Posted February 13, 2006 Quote: is knitting easier??? no lol patterns are easy depending on 2 things A) the ability of the person writing the pattern to explain things in an easy, non complicated manner. wether or not you know what the abbriviations mean. basic stitches and thier abbriviations: sl st = slip stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet tr = treble stitch, or triple crochethere is a pattern stitch that uses a treble stitch. this is the first pattern stitch i leaned. if you can make a sampler, or scarf, or something with these partterns, that you are doing good, and can move on to a simple garment pattern. when you get to more advanced patterns, you will find abbriviations such as these: blo = back loop only flo = front loop only combinations of abbriviations: dc in ch i sp - double crochet in chain space dc in ch 1 sp once you master all these techniques, you can make whatever your heart desires. here is the hat i made that everyone seems to like so much. nubby brim cloche i changed the pattern just a bit, if you want to make the hat and you want my version just let me kjnow and i'll get it down for you. hope this helps ! happy crocheting!

Guest Guest Posted March 24, 2006 Oh boy, I found a little bunny pin in a thrift store and bought it. Figured I could copy it. Now the shamrock push is over, I want to do the bunny. So I did a google search and found several types. This is one of the first I found and it is similar but mine has longer stick up ears Bunny Pin #1 This one is more like it. Bunny Pin #2 Then you can buy this one: Buy a Bunny Pin #3 This one is just a bunny face: Bunny Pin Face #4 Are we having fun yet?? ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
