Struggling with a crochet pattern
Hi all, I'm currently working on a crochet blanket and I'm having some trouble with the pattern. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding the instructions or if there's a mistake in the pattern. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? Thanks in advance, Olivia

What do y'all do?
Hi everyone, I recently finished my big blanket project, and now i feel a bittersweet sense of completion. On one hand, im thrilled that it's done and i am super proud of it, but on the other hand, I can't think of what to do next. How do y'all deal with this? Thanks

Colors
Hey y'all I've recently found that the colors I choose for my projects turn out very weird. What I mean is, I can't seem to pick the right shade or hue, it always seems a little off. Maybe it's because of my perfectionism, or maybe I'm doing something wrong. How to you all pick colors? Thanks,

Important advice
Hello all, I come to you all in ask for help from professional or life-long crocheters for a very important question: where do you shop for supplies? My wife and I used to go to this craft store, but it closed yesterday! Now, we are empty handed and need a new place to shop. We live in Oklahoma City. Thank you

Help with organization
Hi everyone, I never had this problem before, when I crochet, my yarn and my crochet needles always get tangled. This never happened to me before as I never really thought about organization. Now as I start doing bigger project I noticed this is a problem as I use a large amount of yarn. Are there any techniques to help solve this let me know. Thanks

Crochet help!!
Hello I love to crochet, but i find myself taking way too much time for a project that isn't even too big. For example, my friend who's been crocheting for less time than me, crocheted the same pattern as I in half the time! I find myself frustrated with my speed. Any tips & tricks y'all could show me? Or maybe a tutorial? Thanks,

Yarn!!!
Hi all! I'd like to ask a really knowledgeable crocheter here a question: What kind of yarn do you work with? I've been purchasing this basic yarn from Michael's, but it has a cheap feel to it and rips quickly. I'd prefer something softer and more durable, as well as something that doesn't get filthy easily. I'd also like something reasonably priced, given that I don't make much money:((. Thank you very much!!

Hello and need some input from the experts!
Hi - I have been crocheting for close to 50 years (yikes) and I just found this site. I love it! I am very experienced with all kinds of stitches. My daughter just moved into a new home and I would like to make her a blanket to coordinate with her new couch. Any suggestions or colors/pattern? I think it's a butterfly on the pillow. Thanks!!

Crocheting earrings
Hi. I am new to this site and am used to making blankets. I would like to step out and try making earrings to sell to help with our income since my husband had a stroke recently. I am having a real hard time getting the tension right with the little hook and not making the earring to tight in the magic circle. Can anyone help because I'm about ready to give up. Another thing, I wanted to try and make the barefoot sandals for christmas gifts for adult/teenage grandkids. D...

Yarn for Amigurumi

What source is better for beginners?
Hello, ladies! A friend of mine decided to learn how to crochet. And she asked me where to find tutorials or tips. To read or to watch. The last question I couldn't answer. As for me, it's easier for me to read the instructions and follow the scheme. But I know, that many prefer video. What would you recommend? Thank you for your opinion!

Birthday Present
Hello, dear crafters! Can you help me with the present for my friend? She loves crochet things, but I don't know what to make for her. Shawl? Blanket? An ordinary thing not to mistake with the size. Thanks!
