[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Beginner crochet

[Lovette Yewchan]

I like the idea of learning crochet.
I know how to do it, but doing it is a different story and the edges are rarely straight.
I’d like a class if I can attend.

I also create doll clothes and small creatures to make into magnets.  I have had people want to have me crochet things I have no pattern for.  I take it as a challenge and have crocheted John Deer Trackters, different animals, doll clothes and flowers.  I have even had someone want a wine glass and a high heel shoe.    Learning to read a pattern is important if you want to make Amigurumi.  You must count and use stitch markers or you will get off and it will look strange. 😉
