1. There are quite some tutorials online, you can even find some videos like this one ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w45qDIM5S9Y Go to bookstore and get a book for crochet beginners, be sure to look for something has more pictures.
2. I love knitting and crocheting! Go to this web site and find a knitting store close to you. Then call and ask if they have an open knit/crochet night, most do, and then there will be someone there who can help you get started. Good Luck! www.dailyknitter.com *click on knitting directories, then yarn stores, then enter your info. Oh I just remembered you can go on you tube and watch instructional videos on crocheting and knitting. I've found then helpful when learning new stitches.
3. Hi! It's great that you're trying to learn to crochet! It is a great way to stop boredom, and make gifts that are really valuable and practical. My number one suggestion is trying this out: http://www.youtube.com/user/tjw1963 She makes video tutorials, with videos on basic stitches, patterns, and lingo. Another thing would be to look for a local yarn store. Many, like Jo Ann Fabrics, offer classes. You can locate stores here: http://www.joann.com/joann/index.jsp?_requestid=1015895 Finally, try asking someone who knows how to crochet to show you, like maybe a grandparent. This would be a fun way to bond with that person, and they would be able to help you with any of your problems. Good luck, and happy crocheting!
4. Hi, im new here too, i think the online videos are brilliant, i learned to tunisian crochet this way, however, confession time, i still can't follow paper patterns, ive never mastered the abreviations, im sure i could if i spent long enough, just never have and still manage to make things.
