crochet stitches

Have you been thinking about learning to crochet? I find myself staring on the crochet handbags displayed in a store's marquee and these bags are just fabulous that I can't really decide if I were to buy one.

If so the first thing that comes to mind is a granny square hat. Its delicate look makes simple crochet appropriate for any number of designs; which is why you can find it on everything from tablecloths to dresses and purses. It is important to select the appropriate pattern that will fit the size of the intended project.

Finding new patterns and resources will help you to become more skilled and useful with your skill. Threading a large-eyed needle with the loose strings after finishing a project and weaving the loose strings into the project are easier than using the hook. When traveling, use an empty plastic coke bottle to keep the hooks from escaping.

Most of all, have fun and relax. There are some great resources out there.
