    HEY EVERYONE! :) Newbee from Baltimore - Just Moved to NYC!!!

    How is everyone? I'm still fairly new to crotcheting.. I've been doing chains since I was 6, and started making slouch hats from vids I watched on Youtube. I want to make skirts, and learn how to make patterns and do measurements. I have so so so much yarn and needles and no confidence that I can create beautiful dresses, skirts, etc.. so I need help..

    Hopefully someone can help? <smile>

    Blessings to you all.. I hope all is well here in our group and I look forward to posting more and also having conversations here in the group..

    -Tanisha

    If you have a pattern that you are having trouble with we will try to walk you through it. You know that Youtube is a valuable resource as well. My favorite site for free patterns is FreeCrochet.com they have hundreds of patterns. I've never made a skirt but I know you can if you get good advice. Welcome.

    Hey, Tanisha! I'm Lynn, another newbie. Welcome to the group. These folks are great, you'll be making that skirt you're dreaming of in no time. Barbara's right about starting small. Take it from me LOL! :-)
