Honestly, I am trying, but I am BAD at this...
There might be some good videos and tutorials as well as publications and experts at my disposal but I think I am ready to cry 'uncle' and give up, for now at least.

....and that's the reason that I gave up on my crochet dreams....
ReplyDeleteDon't give up. You just need to sit beside someone who knows what they're doing. You'll be right.
ReplyDeleteNooo... don't give up. Keep at it, all of a sudden it just comes. I think I watched the same YouTube video a million times!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours!!:)
ReplyDeleteKeep trying because sometime soon, just when you least expect it it will click. Gorgeous colours! X
ReplyDeleteI'll help you next time we meet up. You'll get it, it's just difficult to switch your brain from knitting to crochet, but when it does you'll beoff like a rocket.
ReplyDeleteI found it quite difficult at first too and realized that I needed someone to show me and to be able to ask questions. Grab one of those helpers and give it another go! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can come join me in the"CAN NOT CROCHET TO SAVE MY LIFE CLUB" Would like to one day GET it:)
ReplyDeleteWe cant be good at everything dear:)
Don't give up! once you get it crochet is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThe best way to learn is to have someone give you a quick tutorial, much easier than learning from the internet or a book. Good luck!
Hang in there - you will get it! Kirsty is right - watching someone in real life is the best for learning. Nic
ReplyDeleteHey! Don't diss learning ;-) I agree with the others - one day it just clicks and you wont look back! Endless chains can get a bit tedious, though, so giving something like a granny or even a crooked square sampler with different stitches might help. I did a number of really dodgy granny squares before I got the hang of it! And I recently borrowed The Happy Hooker from the library which has a really good intro in it, though it's in US rather than UK lingo which can be a bit confusing. But it's still good!
ReplyDeleteI so know how you feel! Don't give up! I had a shocking start too and I had a teacher looking over my shoulder the whole time. Then, when I finally got it I came back a day later and I'd forgotten it all ;) My teacher told me it actually rewires the brain to think in a different way while you are learning so don't be too hard on yourself. I love crocheting now - my favourite thing to do - so restful. You will get there :) Kx
ReplyDeleteabsolutely agree with kirsy, find a crochet buddy and hook,hook,hook you will get it
ReplyDeleteAt least you're trying & with gorgeous colours, you'll get it!! Love Posie
