They will, but that's okay! You can do it
I can crochet afghans but have never learned the finer things like sweaters or booties. It is on my list to learn someday. Would love to see what you make!

Good luck Belinda! I learned years ago from a neighbor too! Only, she was about 18 at the time and righthanded...I was..uh...much older than that...and left handed! It was hard for me cuz I had to turn everything around that she'd do and do it in the opposite direction!
...I hope that's not the case for you! I did learn though and although I can't make sweaters & booties and stuff like that, I can crochet up a mean afghan...

Good luck!

That's wonderful, Belinda! It's actually quite easy to do, and works up really fast (much quicker than knitting)! I'm sure you'll love it and make lots of great little things for your new grandbaby!

I love to crochet. If you have any questions, just ask. My MIL tried to teach me to tat but I gave up on that.

I really like crocheting though the only project I've finished was the afghan for my BIL's wedding. I taught myself to tat - but it is so intricate that it takes a lot of time to do a little medallion. Usually, I will do Christmast ornaments.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out what sort of project I want to do next. I'm like advanced beginner so a lot of the patterns seem a little too advanced.

Good luck and have fun.

If you are going to take it up i suggest you learn to speak posh. It isn't crochet...it's crotch-et!! because it sounds funny......
