Kalliopeia Posted February 8, 2009 Hello. I'm Shannon. I haven't been crocheting for very long; I started right after Thanksgiving of last year. I'd have been doing it for a lot longer, but I'm left handed. In sixth grade (over 25 years ago), I joined a crochet club at school, learned how to chain, and then no one had any clue how to tell me to do anything else. I made lovely chains, while everyone else was making granny squares. Fast forward a couple of decades or so, and I for some reason decided to try again. I bought a little kit at Barnes & Noble, that had instructions and hooks, patterns and a little yarn. I fussed with it for awhile and gave up again, and then a few months ago got annoyed that I couldn't figure it out and fought with it until I did. Looking forward to poking around.

dobermama Posted February 8, 2009 to the Ville! I have been crocheting more years than I can remember and I still am learning. When a new to me technique comes up, I go to this youtube site http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=FFF15236A0B97605&page=1. It also has instructions for lefties. And it's so nice to see someone else learning this wonderful craft to pass it forward! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiffer93 Posted February 8, 2009 Hello & Welcome from Elizabethtown, KY! Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. You'll learn so much! I have only been crocheting around a year and was very frustrated when I started as well. But, like you I just fought with it until I figured it out. Good luck to you and have fun!!
