1. hi there!! have a look at the below link. it's to a lady's website where she has hundreds of instructional video clips on how to crochet. this is where i first learned - i found it sooooo easy because i could pause the clip whenever i needed to. if you look up the following within the website - chain stitch - how to single crochet - how to double crochet - treble crochet that'll teach you the basic stitches used in most simple baby blankets, also known as baby afghans. once you've got those done, and you're comfortable being able to do them, then browse through her other videos. she's a brilliant teacher. p.s, i agree, it's a brilliant little hobby for passing the time EDIT: sorry, got the names of the clips wrong, in the search box type 'crochet 101:' then SINGLE or DOUBLE or TREBLE etc, the crochet 101 clips are the instructional videos for beginners, there's also a video in there for doing a simple baby afghan blanket, just search for afghan
2. One of my favorite crafting sights is called Craftsters It is full of people ready to help at any time. The crochet board is linked here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=354.0 and there are archives of helpful hints and sites to visit also they are pretty good about answering your questions and usually have a large list of tutorials. Plus its fun to browse and see what others have made. Good luck on quitting smoking
