The early development of the craft of crochet is linked to the imitation of lace and lace making. Are you wondering if that trip to your favourite craft store was a waste of time? Are you just wondering what else you can do with 12 coloured crochet hooks?
Amongst older people crochet is popular as a social activity and to help keep arthritic symptoms in check. Many projects were simply not documented, and a creation, or sample was passed down to the next generation to work their own magic from this sample they had in front of them. I ended up at Wal-mart late at night browsing through the craft aisles and inevitably drawn to all the cool yarns.
Yarn colors also have positive effects on the eyes too. When using a substitute yarn make sure the length is the same as the one suggested in the pattern.
Threading a large-eyed needle with the loose strings after finishing a project and weaving the loose strings into the project are easier than using the hook. If you can't learn from the Internet and feel that you need more of a one on one approach, check with your local craft store. For a beginner, you will want to stay away from using the fuzzy and fur yarns.
The story of crochet continues. Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go.
