Crochet?

The whole reason for the selfsufficientish website was to offer a place where anyone can ask, HOW DO I...? So who knows why it has taken us so long to have a HOW DO I? section, but here it is. So if you want to know how to do anything selfsufficientish then here is the place to ask.

Crochet?

Post: # 151524Post Milims »

I know how to make a long chain but I really don't know how to do anything else.
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

This lady has put all sorts of videos on You tube - it's really helpful.
I could crochet, but hadn't done any in a lot of years - a few hours watching her & everything came back - even down to the more complicated stitches & pattern reading too.

Enjoy!

Always helps to watch someone doing it - really gets it all into perspective :flower:
