Just wanted to say hi. I am new at crochet. Hopefully I will one day be new at knitting. That's what I set out to do and then found that the crochet hook suits me better. Knitting is not a natural activity for my hands but I'll get on that sometime.
Anyhow, name's Beth. Hello all. :)
Hallo Beth , Welcome Here , and into the wonderful world of `the magic wands =3Dcrochet hooks and needles . mirjam from Israel.
Welcome Beth.
I hope you enjoy crochet - and this group of course.

Welcome, Beth. I don't get here as often as I would like, but do stay and play. If you have questions or problems, feel free to post them here. Someone will be sure to answer.
Higs, Katherine
Beth,
Hello and welcome. My wife and I both spin wool to yarn. I crochet (albeit poorly) and do a bit of cross stitch. We own llamas and Icelandic sheep in sothern Michigan.
I do enjoy crochet. My projects generally are scarves and such. This allows for uneven ends that turn into "art" where I can add tassles and such to hide the imperfections of my skill level.
Have fun and enjoy!
Regards,
Rick Boesen Olivet, MI
HI Beth and welcome! I have dabbled in crochet but am a knitter at heart. I struggled at the beginning too but this group came to my rescue and helped get me on my way. Now I am addicted :)

Welcome! Noreen
Thank you very much! :) My husband is quite amazed at what I'm doing. He helps pick out patterns and gives me ALL sorts of ideas of things he wants me to make. LOL

I appreciate that. I'm glad I found at least one group where people post. All the others are inactive.

I imagine I would be too. I thought I'd get it but I struggled and struggled till I finally picked up the crochet hook again. I learned some when I was a kid, as my grandmother and two aunts crocheted a lot. But I never bothered to really learn. Turns out, I read a novel where the main character owned a yarn shop and learned from her grandmother and all...of course, the story included a lot of what went on in and around the shop and it got me wanting to learn. I went to the library and got a good book, but picked up the one for crochet too. Bought some yarn and the needles for them and started. I kept dropping my knitting work and even tried a couple of the methods of holding the yarn. It just didn't click. I will do it again though. I figured since crochet was easier that learning to knit might come easier once I'm proficient at crochet. lol Don't know if that logic will work but I've been happy at least accomplishing something with the one craft. :)
I will take pointers on both though. Now that I know a little, I realize I can make some of the pretty stuff that I thought could only be knit. I always had in my head that crochet was all old-fashioned looking stuff but have since seen some gorgeous patterns for contemporary items also. Funny, though, I read somewhere that knitting takes up less yarn. Someone please help, as my husband has put in request for a couple of aphgans! I have a feeling that this new hobby's gonna cost more than my bowling habit. lol :)
Beth
Thanks, Noreen! :)

Welcome, Dennis & Gail
Dennis How are you ? how is the HEALING going mirjam
Mirjam,
All is going as expected. I would like it to move a little faster but breaks take a while. I am getting better every day, that is good.
I hope all is good with you.
Dennis
Hi Beth -- I just wanted to suggest that if you find crocheting easier to learn, then when you do learn to knit get someone to teach you "Continental style." It is more similar to crochet (in the way you hold the yarn) and would be easier than English style to learn if you are already familiar with crochet.
