Hello. My name is Heather. I just bought my first set of hooks and yarn about 3 weeks ago. I watched a few videos and then started practicing. I already have some questions but I will save that for the correct category.

My interest was peeked for crocheting when I seen a skull scarf and I thought "I should try to make that myself". So here I am. I started with a regular scarf to get the hang of the stitches. I have only done the single stitch so far.

I seem to have a harder tension. I do things hard and strong. Like when I write on a pad of paper you can read what I wrote a few pages down because I push so hard. I am trying to lessen my tension but I just go back to pulling to hard automatically without realizing it. It's probably fine for some things, but I see not for all things.

Hello,

I use to do the same thing with the tension. You will find over time you will loosen up. Good luck with your projects.
