My 10 year old daughter came to me one day because someone was teaching her to crochet and she needed some help with it while she was working on it at home.At the time I had no idea what crochet even was! So, I decided to pick up a hook and learn along with her. And that’s how it all started. Most everything I have learned about crocheting, I learned right here on RU-vid. It was a life saver for me. Not every video was for me. Not everyone explained things in a way I could follow. And that's ok. We all learn differently. I suggest you watch as many videos as you can until you eventually find your own groove and what really works for you! And don't forget the most important thing about having a hobby; Have fun with it! And yes...I do have a funky thumb!
