New kid on the block

Hi!

I am a caregiver for the last 8 some years for my 93 yrs. old mom..and crocheting gives me something to do besides chores and feeling depressed.I am learning to crochet, but having a hard time following the pattern directions. I am excited about finding this site..

Pattern directions are tough sometimes. But tehy get easier to understand. Try starting out on things that repeat the row the whole way through--and look on websites. I learned how to crochet completely through finding a bunch of websites to show me EVERY aspect of crocheting.

Hi Judie -

 

Welcome! I know you will find what you need here .. and a lot more too!

 

I'm also a self-taught crocheter. I used to rewrite patterns, before I started a project, in a way that made sense to me.

 

That got "old" in a hurry. So then I started "inching" my way through each pattern... stopping often .. making mistakes but not giving up .. and talking out loud to myself. It wasn't too long a time before patterns began to make sense to me.
