I have been sewing for years, but consider myself a crochet novice. Somehow I have crocheted a few blankets and baby gifts. Right now, I am attempting Tunisian crochet. The photos in books don’t seem to help, so I searched online. I found an excellent tutorial video series on YouTube.
They have videos for knitters as well. I seem to learn best when I can see it action.
Easter is fast approaching and I came across this delightful bunny pattern. Seems like a great stash buster. This weekend is clear. I may have to try it out – too cute to pass up.
A great place to learn, well nearly everything, is at lynda.com. They provide software training for many software programs. I generally visit when I need a quick answer for Illustrator or Photoshop, but it has also been helpful when learning a whole new skill set – like Keynote.
And truth be told – I have used it extensively for Excel… Not a fan!
You can preview some videos before you buy. For the membership cost of just under $400, you get access to any and all videos for a full year. That amount doesn’t even start to cover your three-day conference registration fee, along with travel and hotel!
Plus, you can view them anytime, anywhere.
So I just couldn’t make up my mind and started looking under crochet. Found many adorable free patterns. Unfortunately, my skills didn’t match the cuteness. Twice I pulled the plug while watching college football. May go back to the sewing choices…
No, not mine! Have a co-worker who is expecting and just got the shower evite. Of course I had to scour the internet and Pinterest to find some ideas. Came across a lot of cuteness and haven’t decided yet. Part of the fun (most of it) is in the planning. Here are some possibilities I came across.
