#Litsysummercamp arts and crafts! I love em. I made a TON of beaded alligators 🐊 at camp back in the day. Now I mostly knit and crochet 🧶
I found the attached book to be the most helpful I‘ve found in beginning to understand crochet and not just be frustrated by it. ( never mind the profanity! )

When you run out of yarn storage casually crochet yourself some more ... one of my 2017 goals was to figure out crochet - I'm one of the weird ones to whom knitting came much easier but I think I'm starting to get it. Also listening to Stephen Fry narrate The Tales of Max Carrados helps keep me from over thinking and just getting into a rythem. Not a bad initial effort I think!

BookMusings I found knitting way more intuitive too. I don't get crochet at all. :( 8y
Lacythebookworm Love the basket! I'm a knitter first myself. I can crochet, but knitting is easier for me. 😊 8y
