Introduction

[doorknobs3]

Hello to everyone from Washington, I am a experienced crochet beginner. I learned to crochet as a young child and when I wanted to learn more my grandmother would show me a new project. I thought that was all there was to it for years and tried many times to read a pattern and it was all done in some foreign language.lol.. So now that I am learning to read a patterns I can expand some what. There is still so much to learn, and I am now 60. I am going to muddle thru and learn to do the projects I aspire to get done... my biggest friend has been you tube. A Big helper... especially when I am the only one in my friend base that knits, crochets, cans and sews. I thought I was all alone until I came to Crochet Talk.... YEAH!!!.

Hi. You are gonna love Crochet Talk. I've learned so much just from reading. I am self-taught, and still learning. I have made everything from afghans, sweater, doilies, to fingerless gloves, to tablecloths to stuffed animals, sewed prom dresses, but darned if I can knit. Judy

Hello,

Welcome to the group! I love to crochet, but really hate to read patterns! I do much better watching someone and following along! It is foreign to me many times, but I manage! Glad you are here!
