alicekathleen Sacramento, CA age: 64	It takes TIME and patience to learn! Find a yarn store or a person (we have a Crochet Guild of America group in my town) to teach you. Check out many books from library (that is how I learned) and practice, practice! Save patterns and ideas you like, even if too hard right now, a year from now, you will be glad you did! Finally, use good quality yarn and thread. It takes the same amount of time and skill to make something with beautiful yarn as with the "bargin" stuff. Go to Borders and take a look at the many basic crochet books, and keep practicing, you will get it. It' s just like any other hand/eye co ordination, bike riding, skating, swimming, sewing. You will get it in leaps and bounds, and only get better!

alicekathleen Sacramento, CA age: 64	Yes, there are dvds you can buy or rent from library. Is there a yarn store in your town? They have classes, and probably have the name of someone who teaches. I teach, sell, and repair crochetted heirlooms. I leave a card at all the yarn shops to give to anyone needing help, a pattern, or repair done. Keep at it, persistence pays off! Rome was not built in a day, and do not compare yourself to others who seem to pick up quickly. We are all on the same path!

shirlgirl52 Manchester Township, NJ age: 57	Hi. I love crocheting!!!! My sister taught me when we were young. I work with thread as well as yarn. I don't have many books. but do projects from pictures that I see in books. I make doilies, layettes, afgans, clothes, and it's all so endless. It's nice to know I can get so much out of giving. I have donated to organizations, and that's a good feeling! Giving as gifts, or just plain make it for the wanting to make it, is rewarding by itself. We are all " HAPPY HOOKERS " Even though my fingers show a little sign fo wear and tear, the day I quit crocheting, is the day my fingers fall off !!!!! Ya'll have a good day, and may your baskets be filled with an abundance of yarn.

alicekathleen Sacramento, CA age: 64	I prefer thread. I use my stash, since Knit Cro Sheen is no longer made. I found a big bag of colored size 30 in a thrift store, and also some of the old metallic knit cro sheen. I make embellishments, edgings, toys, bags in thread. Need any patterns? I have a HUGE collection, most stuff from 1950's, and mostly thread.

saltypepper Roanoke Rapids, NC age: 65	My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about eight years old. My Granddaughter had her ninth birthday on April 1. As one of her gifts I got her a kit with everything she needed for me to teach her how to crochet. She was so happy and excited to learn she went to school the next day and told her whole class what she had learned. On my next visit I will start her on a new project. She is practicing now and getting her stiches even. Betty

scoobydee Centreville, VA age: 39	I love to crochet also. I've made afghans and scarves. But that's the extent of my knowledge at this point. I'm in the process of learning the different patterns and experimenting with different types of yarn. I'm always buying new books. It's very relaxing to me. [Edited 5/4/2009 7:39:04 PM PST]

okiemt Ardmore, OK age: 56	So nice to see a big group of crocheters. My mother crocheted for years and I never understood or liked it. She could crochet by site, not by pattern. I learned by a pattern when I got older and she was was amazed because I could make things she couldn't. I have loved it ever since. My favorite things to make are smaller items that don't take a long time, ie...hanging baskets, butterfly or fish mobiles (cute), houseshoes/booties, etc. etc. I used to make afghans but my arthritis hurts too bad. I have a really funny story...I ordered a magazine called Quick and EZ Crochet. My young son got the mail that day and ran in screaming....mom...you got a quick and EZ crotchet..so funny! I had to teach him how to say c r o c h e t.

missysue1230 Front Royal, VA age: 52	I too am a left handed crocheter and am self-taught. Been working on various projects since the age of 12. I subscribe to Crochet World and pick up patterns at second hand stores. I may have some round tablecloths in the pineapple design. I've been working on beaded, crocheted jewelry to raise funds for our local Relay for Life team. Also make Christmas gifts (trying to boycott the commercialism of the season) rather than ready made gifts. Currently working on some placemats for my own dining table.

sandymac12000 Vinemont, AL age: 57	My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was preteen. I have made afhgans, hanging dishtowels, angels for the Christmas tree, pot holders, capes, shawls etc. Now I have trouble because my hands cramp after just a few stitches. I have some yarn that was given to me and am considering starting up a new project. We make things for our family reunion every year and sell them to help raise money for the next reunion. I would love any suggestions that would not take long and would be handy. Crocheting is the one thing that I loved doing because you could see your progress fairly quickly. If you have any suggestions for my reunion project please email me.

laidbackandfun Havelock, NC age: 43	When I was 9 years old a lady taught me how to make a granny square. Then I learned little bits and peices here and there. I have made many afghans, a few sweaters, some dolls, lots of hats and scarfs. I even made a dress I am working on a very special dress. I'm using the real thin cotton yarn (more like string) and using a shell pattern throughout. I've been working on it for at least 6 months, and it has taken me a lot of yarn. But I think the finished product will be well worth the task. [Edited 10/15/2009 6:44:53 AM PST]

mowboss54 Springdale, PA age: 62	At present I am working on a Jacobs' Ladder afghan in fall colors. I started it back in July so I could take it on a camping trip to work on. I am using 6 colors and making 2 rows of double crochet per color. As yet I haven't gotten thru the second set. It only gets worked on lately when I have to go to the doctors or take the grandchildren to the doctors. The colors I am using are brown, tan, carrot, bright orange, light yellow and cream. Really coming out nice.

sonidays Montgomery, AL age: 56	I'm new here and love to see that there are other crocheters here!! I crochet for fun and also for two charities- one is for hospital noenatal babies and then for Disaster Relief out of Nashville. I enjoy being able to share them with the less fortunate. I enjoy other crafts also. I cricheted in high school and only recently started it again after putting my paintbrushes to the side for awhile. I've found tons of patterns on the net for free.

beadz Waterbury, CT age: 33	Hello! I'm self taught too... I was taught once as a child by a friend of my mother and made one little swatch back then but have come back to it a few times over more recent years. Unfortunately, I don't grasp technique too well (I don't think I'll ever really be able to make it up as I go and actually get the look I wanted LOL) I use the Crochet Answer Book when I need a quick reference. I've made two med size blankets for my kids and several hats, I've also made a few amigurumi for them, all from patterns online and working on a few I toy patterns I purchased on Etsy. If I could knit too I'd be all set. LOL I saw an awesome hat that used both...I just find it to hard to hold the tension and keep the loops on the needles... ah well that's a different topic. I do love to crochet, especially in the winter... making warm cuddly things I should have started in the summer LOL
