crochet anyone ?

Ok I will give that a go tonight. Can't thank you enough!

I looked up the crochet treble stitch - which I think I have the hang of in my head so that's ok!

I got on ok...... can do the single and chain totally fine, it's linking it all together which is the problem . My stitches seemed a bit tight and i started to get confused where to put the needle in and if I was missing stitches out. Is this normal?

This was the problem I had with crochet for ages, if you persevere and keep having a go it will make sense in the end, I promise! I had to look at a few different books and things before I got it.

That's good to know, I usually take to stuff like this naturally and it's aggravating me that I'm struggling with it! Thanks:o

Here is a really good site for those who prefer a diagram to work from. It's really clear, shows all the basic stitches and uses UK terminology

One question when you do your foundation chain and your going along your first row do u pick up both loops or jst one ?

If that makes sense ? lol
