I crochet long ago but have not in over 30 years . I bought a beginners book, hook and thread and started
all over again. Please I need to start from the beginning as I am having trouble with being too tight and not able to turn to go back and the sides even.
Help, perhaps I can learn from you.
Thanks, Patsy
Hey Patsy, I’m working on some tutorials that might help you. Stay tuned!
Could you please give me some basic instructions for a project for beginners?
Hi Patsy! I’m currently working on some tutorials for total beginners 🙂 Stay tuned! If you want to try something easy, take a look at my free patterns section at the top – Lake Sunset Shawl or Sleepy Bunny Lovey should be easy enough for you to try 🙂
