A. Hello! I will do my best to get you started crocheting! First of all, you CAN do this fun hobby! I've been doing this since I was 13 years old, and am 51 now....and still crocheting! It's fun, and you can always crochet gifts for your loved ones! I don't know if you've seen my 3 YouTubes about learning to crochet. If you haven't, here they are:

Annie's Attic (They list patterns for you to buy, but if you sign up for their daily e-mail, they send you a new one each day to look at. And if you check their site each day, there is a tab for a free pattern every day. There are different hobby patterns sometimes, but a lot of times it is crochet patterns.)

Hello Aunt Esther!
One of my cousins (who is a teacher)taught her students to crochet, and later on told me that she would teach me how to do it. Well today was the day and she showed me but I kind of forgot a couple of steps so I searched on youtube (like she recommended) and I found your video! I was so glad I did, I already watched the 3 videos and I have to say that they were the best! And I will for sure check the sites for patterns that you posted here.
Thank you so much to you and your niece for making them :)
By the way, as soon as I can I will add a link to this site and your youtube channel to my site :D
Have a nice day!
