I've only been crocheting for 5-6 weeks now. It was going to be snowy here and I decided by golly I was going to learn to crochet. I was tired of telling people I was "yarn impaired" when it came to knitting or crocheting. First thing I did was a scarf. Then I decided to crochet a hat for my dear daughter (who promptly claimed the scarf which I happened to be making for myself). I found a great youtube teacher http://www.youtube.com/user/tjw1963 this woman can do anything and has some really easy patterns on video. I learned how to use the "magic circle"
from her shell beanie video.
I tried and tried to figure out that hat. Finally I ended up going to the "Crafty Cottage" in town where a lady there showed me how to start the hat. It was an invaluable learning session! Amazing how much easier it is when there is someone there to show you how. From there the sky was the limit...well as long as the pattern was fairly simple.
