Ok, this year I promised to teach myself to crochet. At the weekend I 'mastered' casting on and chain stitch - at least enough for me to contemplate single crochet. I've been working on it all afternoon - with the book and you tube vid. I have finally produced something. It doesn't look much like the one in the vid but I think that's more to do with keeping tension the same than anything else. I WILL get this (I may be some time ......)
