I did my first crochet square

With much help from sugestions and links from here, I did it. I made a 6x6
square yesterday for my March partner in crochet. I spent alot of time
looking at websites for explenations on how to do things, but it went
fairly well. I always wanted to learn to crochet, and it is all because of
the 6x6 exchange that I learned. Last month I learned to crochet a border
around my knitted squares, and this month I did an entire square, and if I
do say so myself, it's not too shabby . Wish I could show you all a
picture, but I don't want my partner to see it before she receives it in
the mail.

I had tried several times years ago to learn to crochet, and I finally did
it. I think it's just because I was so determined to learn...

That is wonderful, I had the same problem learning knitting eons ago, but
with the help of a friend, she got me going in the right direction. Why I
didn't think to ask my mom what I was doing wrong in the first place, got me
baffled, but I finally got it. Because I was messing up on the knitting, I
went to my paternal grandmother and learned how to crochet. I keep seeing
these 6X6 square received, and eventually want to get into that, but just am
too busy at the moment. But I know that I'll get into that also.
See what happens when we put our minds to something? hehehe

Hi Julie,

Congratulations on doing your first square. Now there are so many things that
you can make you won't know what to make first.

Hugs,

Nora

Well done! It is lovely to be able to share in your celebration of
your new skill. My similar triumph was not with crochet or knitting
- both of which I had learned at a basic level from my grandmothers -
but with tatting! Oh wow! The feeling when I cracked that! Thanks
for reminding me ;-)

tatting, so I cracked IT 'myself' too!! Small world!
