| Learn to Crochet |
| Crocheting will give you a lifetime of pleasure and relaxation. You can learn to create handmade items for yourself and people you love. When you give a lovingly crocheted gift, part of you goes into it. Your time, talent, the yarn and color you select -- even the thoughts and feelings you have as you work -- are part of your gift. You can learn to crochet by following our simple instructions and by the end of chapter 4, you'll be on your way! | |||||||||||||||||
