If you can find a yarn store, they have classes in almost everything, but some of the answers are FREE and that's where I would go...

Just type in "Learn to crochet", into Google and you'll find a number of sites to check out to learn the basics.  Hope that helps

My wife found a really neat instructional video on You Tube about this.  It really helped her w/ her project.

Thanks for the info about the instructional video on You Tube.  Maybe I will be able to learn again after all.  It reminds me of my childhood.

I learned to crochet many years ago from my mother-in-law.  More recently, I have tried to learn to knit, but I could never get into it.  I think how much you like it depends on what you have learned and what you are used to.  I like crochet because you can work on it while watching TV and not have to think to much about what you are doing.  It is a great way to relax.

I have done a bit of crocheting. I found it a lot easier than knitting. I always am astonished at how complicated knitting seems to me.

I used to crochet a lot. My late mother-in-law taught me. She was fantastic! She made gorgeous doilies, afghans, shawls, even made some dresses.  I stopped when I developed tendinitis. They say crocheting is good for arthritis, but my hands started aching so bad, I couldn't hold the needles very well.

Since hubby was on the road all week and I worked 2 jobs, when we moved into our newly built house, we hired a friend to move our stuff into a shed. My crochet stuff disappeared as did a lot of other stuff, so I haven't really done anything in the past 20 years. I'd love to restart since I'm now forcefully retired, but can't spend the money right now. I am looking for another hobby, but haven't found anything satisfying.  :(

I learned how to crochet through a family friend back in middle school or elementary school. She also taught me how to so. But as of now I forgot how to do both. I'm not sure of any sites but I'm sure Google can help.  ;D

I never learned, my grandmother tried and tried and then gave up teaching me, guess I just can't get it.   ??? I think the Internet probably has places to teach you, or if there is a yarn store near you there might be someone there who could help you.

Another thing I would really like to be able to do is knit.  I never learned that.  If you get good, there are a lot of things you can make with knitting. :wave:

Yes I have crocheted to bed in bags. It consisted of a bed spread and 5 pillows one was red white and green for a Christmas present. And the other was also for a Christmas present it was just not Christmas colors.

How long does it take to make a whole set like that?  Is it a long term project?  Sounds like it really took a while. :wave:
