Crochet is a fun and exciting craft to learn. Make comething for yourself or for a charity — they're both wonderful ideas.  Check out your local community to find organizations who are in need of handmade items.
If you know how to crochet, teach a young person, family member or a co-worker. A few minutes during the lunch hour can be a great time to learn a stitch or two. As their skills increase, they will become more confident to try new projects and ensure their success. It's also good to have someone nearby you can contact if you're having a little trouble changing stitches.We have many books to help the new and skilled crocheter. From Single Crochet for Beginners (a great book for teaching children) to the new Postively Crochet, which offers a variety of fashion accessories and garments. And, with the choices of yarns we find today, you're sure to find just the right color for your special project.
If you've tried a new crochet technique, let us know how you liked it. Was it difficult or easy to learn? What did you enjoy about making your project with this technique? Did it turn out as you planned? We all can learn from each other, so send us your comments and photos and let's share the excitement of crochet.
