[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet help?

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Joyce,
It was only to teach the chain stitch to a newbie......not to go beyond that point.

Haven't I heard of finger crocheting.  I am not sure how I would do it  
beyond a chain, but I am sure it is possible.  You don't use a crochet  hook, 
you do use only your fingers.  It will come out being a loose  crochet, but 
it will work. 
 
I can picture in my mind how to do a chain and a single crochet, but going  
into other stitches in crochet with your fingers are beyond me.

Just use  your fingers by putting your fingers through the loop and 
grabbing ahold of  the WY.  Pull the WY through the loop.  Your fingers can grab 
the WY  easier than the hook while you learn to get the hang of it.

so how do you do it with just your fingers to make sure I am  doing it 
right?
