I have spent since before christmas trying to learn how to crochet. I gave up until a few weeks ago, and then tryed again. took various books out of the library. then i told my mum that i was fed up of it turning into a blob. did she know anyone who'd be able to show me how to do it slowly. (My aunt tried but she just does it without explaining it too well) so she told me to find the big orange book on her bookcase, called "Golden Hands complete crafts" and that there was simple instructions on how to make a granny square. so i tried. success? no, a blob. so i told my mum, and she said she'd help. and after an hour of her trying to teach me, she gave up. i'd made this:



so, she set me off trying to do the triple crochet in a straight line. which didnt turn out too bad..



then i gave up for a few days, going back to knitting my scarf. then last night i decided to have another attempt at making a granny square. and.. i did it :D not perfect, but its almost what its suppost to look like!




now just to see if i can learn how to do the other stitches. :D if not i'll just give up and stick to knitting ;)

but the book, "Golden Hands Complete Crafts" has so much stuff in it. so i might try something else from there. *bounces away*
