Halp! plzkthx. ^_^

#1

Okay, so I learned to crochet long before I learned to knit. But here’s the thing: I learned from my Grandmother, I learned as a kid, and she didn’t care much for teaching me stitch names, etc.

So, I know some, but I don’t know what I know. . . . does that make sense? The only proper name I know for anything I do is the chain stitch.

So here’s the thing. I’m wanting to brush up on my crochet so I can whip up a few amigurumi ornaments for mom for the holidays. BUT, I find myself in need of the KH eq of a crochet site! So, I’m posting here.

I know about Crochet Me. But… that’s pretty much it. And while cute and useful, doesn’t exactly scream “Lesson!”

I need crocheting for dummies - without the book. I need online help, interaction with other crocheters, happy hookers - I need videos! Pictures! Need input!

So… halp?
