Hi there kitschy. I haven't used this book myself, but I think there's a few on here have, and it gets brilliant reviews on Amazon. Good luck.

Lovely, thank you - I have ordered a copy! I had another go last night and ended up with a very stiff caterpillar-like thing, so hopefully this'll set me right :rotfl:

Kitchy I learned to crochet last year after going through 6 books and 1 dvd trying to pick it up ( I can already knit) and tbh I found it impossible to learn from a book or video. The only way I finally got it was by doing a 1 day course at my local John Lewis, it really is something you need to have demonstrated and have someone explain your mistakes! I would look for a course or even ask about if anyone locally could teach you (grannys are great for this!) - good luck

Thank you - the nearest JL is about 40 miles away, so I'll try the book, but will try there if I'm still producing caterpillars! I had no idea that they did things like that, so I could save up all the things I usually do a trip for to make it worth my while. x

Hi kitschy,

I've added your thread to the existing one on crochet books for beginners. This thread has lots of posts from experienced crocheters which might help too:

crochet anyone ?
