Hi, I'm Kayla. I am very new at crocheting and I want to get the basic downs first. If there's any techniques or tools I need to be able to do so please let me know. I've provided a pic of a magic ring/circle I've down about 100 times already. I feel it's too tight and that I'm not holding the hook/…
Hi everyone, I'm curious to know - do you prefer knitting or crocheting? I love both, but I have to admit that I have a slight preference for crocheting. There's just something so satisfying about creating something with a single hook. What about you guys? Do you have a preference or do you enjoy bo…
Hey y'all! I've been a little unmotivated recently, and that's because a week ago my favorite crochet needles snapped! This is the second time it's happened with these needles, as I keep buying the same ones. I need a recommendation for some needles that can last me at least a few months. I cant kee…

I am a beginner and I'm trying to get my stitching and patterns down before I start making actual pieces. But I feel like all my stitches are too tight and I can seem to keep count bc everything becomes tight after the double crochets. How can I keep my stitching loose. I've order supplies like the …
Hello, ladies! Do you often meet patterns, which can be visually quite similar, but one of them is knit, another one - crochet? Which of them do you usually choose? Sometimes you can fins such a neat pattern and you may think (of course, if you are not so advanced), that it's crochet, but the instru…

I am new, can use all the help I can get. I want to learn to knit/crochet and know absolutely nothing about either. Would really appreciate someone's help. For instance I have heard to start with a simple little project. Dish cloth?
It is a pleasure to be a part of this group and learn to do beautiful things like you do. I don't know how to knit or crochet, but I always wanted to learn. You are never too old to learn.
Dear Craftorator, I hope someone could teach with a video online to show me how to crochet with a variety of sizes of crochet needles purchased from Amazon years ago as a gift, thanks to my brother Mike. I hope to add lining to a crochet sweater to be covered enough with substantial fashionable and …

If you make it, someone will fit into it. =) IMPORTANT! * Height given here is measured BEFORE you turn the brim u…
