I would love a tutorial on reading charts! I’ve found so many patterns that I would love to crochet, but can’t because they’re in that format.

I saw the article on pinterest and would LOVE a tutorial on reading charts. I too am self-taught and now have the gumption and confidence to spread my wings a bit and try different stitches.

Would love to know more about chart reading. I have completely avoided this in the only two years since I first picked up a hook.

Two comments…….Many yrs ago I came home with yet more yarn (I use to travel more by myself and would stop in anywhere that had yarn!! It was also an excellent way to stretch my legs) One day my husband said the funniest thing….”What?? MORE YARN??!! I just smiled & told him, “Look!!…..I don’t drink, smoke, gamble, sleep around, do drugs or pay for therapy!! I figured you’re getting off cheap!!” He never brought it up again!! My second comment is about making those happy mistakes. I made a blanket for a new great niece that turned out quite beautiful all because I made several mistakes! I’d gotten far enough along that I didn’t want to tear it out so I just continued the “mistake” until I was finished. I’m not sure if I’d EVER be able to replicate it and in fact….it’ll most likely turn out totally different. Which is fine. They’ll be one of a kind!! Years ago I told someone the only difference between an amateur and a professional in the crafting world is when the amateur makes a mistake a lot of people usually know about it because many times there’s a lot of loud ranting and raving. When a professional makes a mistake they just go calmly along and either fix it quietly or go with the flow. BTW…. I really love your blog!! I don’t think I’ve ever come across it before. But now that I know it’s here, I’ll be visiting quite often!! Thanks for all the fantastic ideas!!

I would very much appreciate a tutorial on how to read a crochet chart. I understand the symbols, but my mind wanders. . .and I tend to stick to very simple patterns. Also, I tried to click the HERE to read your earlier article, bit it did nothing. This is my first visit to your site, via Pinterest. You might be interested to learn that there are people out there like me–former crochet lovers who gave up their beloved yarn and supplies because arthritic pain made the work painful. That old arthritis thing sneaks up on you quicker than you might think. Luckily, I found ergonomic crochet tools designed for arthritic hands. Wish I’d saved my stash. So I am beginning anew. Like your site!

I’m so glad I found your blog! Thank you for the ideas, techniques, strategies and sharing your take on this subject. I’m so fortunate to have a husband who gets a kick out of going to the yarn shop with me. He’s always wanting me to do something adventurous with yarn, so I try to make him something unique each month. Doesn’t always happen but I try. He has a killer coozie coming!

I’ve put you in Pocket and pinned you in my Pinterest so I will be visiting again. Thank you!
