[Nfb-krafters-korner] Need Help with a Knitting/Crocheting Device

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I didn't start with a chain in crocheting.  My mom taught me how to crochet, 
and she showed me stitches and did the chain for me until I learned how to 
do it.  I still sometimes chain too tightly and have to redo.
Thanks
Lauren
