BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet need help in learning crochet

No problem. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I learned the very basic chain stitch when I was nine and years later am giving it another go!

A few years back I bought some knitting needles and yarn and tried to teach myself, but didn't get very far. Maybe after I am able to do some good stuff with crochet I'll try again. I'll have to look at what Eva's got going on in the BellaKnit site. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Keep at the crochet! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> There's plenty of help 'round these parts.

Take care!

I was just amazed that knitters are having problems learning crochet. I've been crocheting since i was about 9 years old. I've tried knitting a couple of times, and even made a scarf (using ONLY the knit stitch...lol). But looking at knitting patterns looks like greek to me. I've never really been able to grasp it, no pun intended=) my hands refuse to accept the challenge of holding two needles instead of just one hook. I guess to me, crocheting is as second nature as breathing. knitting, on the other hand, is like rocket science. I love knitted items, and envy you guys who can do it. Especially you ambedextrious (sp?) folks who can do both! to me, you guys are 'yarn-godesses'! to me, knitting is much harder than crochet. I wish i could do it.
happy hooking!

I am now the Knitting host too so maybe you might want to give it a try again. And remember as always I'm right here to answer all questions and help.

Hi Butterfly....its funny...to me crochet is greek. I can knit but havent mastered crochet beyond the chain stitch & single crochet. Only used single crochet for edging a knitted sweater. I have the whole set of crochet hooks & am trying to teach myself. I make baby sweaters as gifts and have some really nice crochet patterns I would love to do. Hoping this site will do the trick for me.
