Crocheting is he best ! Don’t give up on learning anyone! My paternal grandmother taught me when i was 5 years old, and I haven’t put a hook down since. Now I’m 54. I taught myself how to knit too. I always favored crochet because to me its just much more relaxing. If you make a mistake just pull it out and do it again.....knitting is more like ???? . lol. i used to own my own yarn store in my town. unfortunately it did not attract as much interest as i had hoped. But now thanks to Etsy....i have an online store that i love and can connect with a lot more people. For beginners i would suggest small projects first like the leaves or acorn broach. whatever you do have fun!!!

I STARTED OUT WITH KNITTING FIRST AND THEN MOVED ON TO CROCHETING. BOTH OF THEM I LEARNED FROM YOUTUBE AND THE INTERNET. I HAVE BEEN VERY EAGER TO MAKE AN AFGHAN BLANKET AND HALLOWEEN TREAT BAG.
