Crochet, like any form of art, is as much about skill as about innate ability. The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook.
In the 16th century nuns taught the craft to their students and it became a recognised accomplishment of a high-born lady. Its delicate look makes simple crochet appropriate for any number of designs; which is why you can find it on everything from tablecloths to dresses and purses. Believe me, it's better to be safe than sorry as there is nothing worse than running out of yarn and finding that the yarn store has run out of your batch.
It's always best to choose a yarn of the same weight - worsted, finering, chunky etc. Unlike knitting, crochet uses this single starting loop to work a row of individual chain stitches. The official Crochet Guild of America features lessons as well as crochet ideas for new learners.
It is also quite economical for those who are involved with making crocheted things regularly. Similar, but easier than learning a foreign language, after a bit of study, crochet abbreviations and symbols will make perfect sense! The repetition is something that your hands actually learn.
Take your time and concentrate on your technique. Often others find themselves driven by many motives to continue doing this craft for many years getting past the frustration.
