Yet more wonderful, creative ideas from the internet. Don't you just love all these people sharing their skill and talent like this?!
Make old tee-shirts into yarn and crochet with this, using massive crochet hooks of course, to make rugs, bags etc.
It works best with tee-shirts that are made in the round, i.e., seamless, although it doesn't really matter if you have the seams in there.
Another great thing I've seen on there is "loom" knitting using old tissue boxes. (Not crochet, but still creative).
There's a site called Red Ted Art with many kinds of beginner friendly crafts.
I'm itching to make a POM-POM RUG, and a BRAIDED LIGHT PULL CORD for the bathroom, made from an idea on Red Ted Art for a friendship bracelet, but I'll extend it in a long strip.0 -
The Crochet Crowd on YouTube do left- and right-handed versions of their tutorials. I know you posted this a long time ago but I've only just found this, isn't it great!scaredy_cat wrote: »i've just started crocheting, can anyone recommend a tutorial for left handed crocheter for basic squares or granny squares?0 -
I always specify left-handed uk when I search YouTube, I can usually find what I want. I've recently made three blankets and I'm currently working on a circular waistcoat in King Cole Shimmer. I made one for my daughter and now one for a granddaughter.
I'm aiming to master amigurumi next.Chin up, Titus out.0 -
Love to crochet.
Ravelry is a fabulous site to record your projects, find pattern and inspiration.

Local library is a good source for some how to crochet books.woolly_wombat wrote: »I recently bought myself a lovely crochet pattern book in The Works, only to find that it has no 'how to crochet' instructions and my old craft books aren't much help - doh!
I've come across this Stylecraft How to Crochet instruction booklet which will hopefully help get me started, and thought I'd post a link in case anyone else found it helpful. It uses UK terms but has a handy list at the end explaining the corresponding US terminology:

I can knit anything, from dolls house stuff on <1mm needles, to full sized arans and fairisles - but crocheting continues to defeat me. Everytime I try, my hands just cramp up.0
