I want to do something

[AureateDawn]

Hey all!

I'll put it simply: I want to do something!

I know how to crochet - my Granny taught me how when I was little. But I can't ever do but a big long crochet chain.

And I am looking for some hobbies. I'd like to be the sort of person who knows how to knit, crochet, sew, quilt, etc.

How do I get started?!

Thanks!

LOL! Come to my house and I will teach you!!

Really, though, Lookaround at craft stores. Normally they will offer them, or have people who do. I am taking a quilting class this fall

For knitting and crocheting there are lots of online sources. Try googling "crochet (or knitting) intructions". There are also lots of how-to books out for just about any craft -- check at the library. Yarn shops, fabric stores and craft shops often offer classes in different crafts -- from simple to not so simple.

start at your local library. go to the crafts section and look for any book that has the word 'beginning' in the title.

second thing you can do is to find crafting groups online. try the yahoo groups for a place to begin.
one quilting board that i know of that also has members who knit, crochet, sew, garden, and quilt is www.quiltsyourway.com.

and if there's anything you want to know about quilting, I'm only a PM away and I'll be very glad to help.
