Hi Everyone,
This is a quick video on how to get started in the world of crochet!
This video was filmed during a spring break vacation to my mom’s house in Phoenix, AZ. Lexi and I went for a week-long visit and had a blast. We made three videos: how to microwave corn on the cob in husk, this one, and another crochet video showing how to make ‘Granny Squares’! The granny square video is on its way!
I am a pretty accomplished crochet artist myself, but nowhere near as accomplished as ‘Grandma’.
I hope you enjoy!
These are the basics, and if you can get the feel of this ‘single crochet’ down you are on your way to learning more styles very quickly and easily. It takes a little practice, but nothing is cooler than handing someone a functional, beautiful item that you made yourself!
This qualifies as an old craft, not lost, but for sure an old skill where new twists are being added all the time.
I hope you enjoyed this!
Cheers!
Willie

Thank you for giving me enough support to try crocheting on my own. I am thankful your son took the time to capture you and post it on line for others. I found it incredibly rewarding to figure it out with your timely guidance next to me. The video also helped me think a lot about the inquiry learning cycle. I am a Kindergarten teacher and I’ve blogged about this learning experience at https://techieang.edublogs.org/2014/07/06/learning-something-new/
Thank you for teaching me something new!
