Garfield Sep 2022 8:19am, 18 Sep 2022 16,872 posts	0 Garfield I need to find the yarn I bought for a sweater for hubby...also need to find the pattern, which is in a magazine I subscribed to 12 years ago. I made one for me and hubby likes it and wanted me to make one for him, only I've misplaced the damned magazine!
Meglet Sep 2022 8:50am, 18 Sep 2022 22,974 posts	0 Meglet Teaching someone from scratch is hard! I taught my daughter to crochet, holding the hook and yarn and work all at the same time is intuitive when you’ve done it for so long, but really difficult to teach.

I remember having to teach someone at my office how to make a slipknot...make yarn into a pretzel shape and pull one bar through or something like that was how I described it to her! I need to continue practising crochet or I'll forget how to do it, now I've re-taught myself how to do it...
