No problem! I had trouble in the beginning too, so I decided to make some tutorials based on how I figured things out! I'm glad they're helping you! Don't give up, practice makes perfect!!!!~

Thank you!!!! I can now crochet!
It took quite a bit of work; I had much more trouble learning to crochet than I've ever had with knitting. The part when you go back on the chain was very difficult for me until I went to my local librarian who helped me out.
Amazing, amazing tutorial. Please, please do more!

Damn, thanks a lot really, this is SOOOOO helpful (I've been searching for a clear explenation on how to count on crochet works and couldn't find it anywhere -.-).

For anyone who doesn't want to go out and buy stitch markers (like me) the best substitute I have found is just a basic household bobby pin. I only use the markers for amigurumi and the like, but it's still very nice to know that I have two hundred of them sitting in a mug in my room.

I tried that, but I didn't like the fact that I had to ruin a bobby pin (an item I use A LOT for my hair) so that it wouldn't snag stitches when I pulled it out. Another thing people use is a piece contrasting color yarn. But I find that this leaves fuzzies all down the side that are in a totally different color. xp

Yeah, I made the mistake of using red yarn when I was making a white ball...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did that with orange and blue... that's when I decided to get markers XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, how did you ruin your bobby pin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had to pull it open a bit so that it wouldn't catch onto the yarn every time I pulled it out! It was pulling the stitch and ruining everything! x.x lol

Hm, I don't even understand this problem...

Eh, either way, it didn't work for me. I love my stitch markers xp

So I'm just wondering, how do you make these tutorials? Do you use photoshop or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I use my camera and a wireless shutter remote to take the pictures, then I use photoshop to edit them pictures and put them into the setting. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah *disappoint* T.T I've been asked to do some crochet tutorials myself, but I don't have the photoshop. Back to the drawing board, so to speak. Thanks though! ^_~

There are some free photo editing software out there, but none of them really do what PS does. It sucks when you can't directly help someone, but you can always direct them to a good source, that's what's great about the internet. ^^

yes yes 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's always an option too!~ ^^ I like patterns and tuts that I can download as a PDF, it makes printing SO much easier xp I've been thinking about doing that with mine.

Thanks! This is so helpful! Maybe I will learn to crochet after all!
P.S.- I love Sugar N' Creme too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love it! I think cotton yarn is a bit harder to work with but it's more soft xp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And they have pretty colors, too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
omg yes!!!! They have LOTS of pretty bright colors, and even some nice looking mixes.

Variagated is always beautiful, but I always try to buy from them.

I just used my first acrylic yarn the other day, it feels so different... I'm not sure if I like it x.x
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use acrylic all the time, 'cuz it's cheaper. I like it fine.
But when I make something special... COTTON!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it is cheaper, those Sugar n' Cream ones are $2 for not very much but $5 buys a HUGE skein of acrylic x.x I guess I just have to find a brand of acrylic that I like is all ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like Caron- you can buy a pound, which means I don't have to do any math! I think Lion Brand and Sensations also have 1 pound varieties.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I dunno, I just haven't found an acrylic brand I like yet... I'm super picky x.x lol
I guess I'll have to go to Hobby Lobby and feel all their yarns XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never heard of Hobby Lobby- who's that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a craft store in the US. Kinda like Michael's but bigger, and like Joanne's but less fabric xp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your profile says you're in the US, there should be one in your area? o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope! I'm in the middle of nowhere! (Not many places like that left anymore 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh yeah, that's how it used to be for me. I had to the middle of the next town over from me, which was about 45 minutes, but it was well worth it. Then after about a year of me doing that trip once a week they finally put on in my town, since it was becoming more city like, or what have you. You should do a store locator search on their site to see where your closest one is, it might not be too far, or on a rout you take all the time xp
