This week I learned how to crochet finally. Yes I'm adding to many skills. I know it's like an old lady thing but if your you g have time and want to relax it'll do the trick. I love to knit so learning to crochet can help me in certain ears of my knitting. I love knitting so much I sell,what I made and maybe when I'm really good with crocheting I can do the same or combin the two. Learning was a lot easier then I thought. My sister in law wSnt every good at explaining it so I had to teach. Y sell by looking online. I did the same for knitting sell it once it's prefect. For now ill preach ice my crochet till I good.

I've tried knitting and I just don't seem to get the hang of it. Although I haven't given up I don't think my knitting skills will ever catch up to my crochet skills. I'm envious of those that can do both well.

I love to knit, but also enjoy crocheting as well. I am a self-taught crocheter. Many of the projects I have done without patterns. Reading patterns has always been challenging for me.

Oh my I love to crochet and always have some sort of project going. There is a site called revelry that is free and you can find and see all sorts of knitting and crochet patterns and projects. There are patterns that are both free and paid. I can spend hours there just browsing the beautiful projects.

It's so easy to lean by watching a video. Some of the people do it really well and I fallow them because they do different projects that I can learn to do.

I learned to crochet in high school, my grandmother taught me. I always appreciated it and made many gifts over the years. When I was almost sixty I finally learned to knit!

Oh yes knowing how to do one or the other even both does help to make gifts. I made a friend some baby hats for her baby.

Oh yes, but on,y when it's done correctly and prefect do I sell it other wise I keep it and uses it as a gallery of what I can do. I love making blankets and scarves. I'm working on a few different things right now in the evening.
