So frustrated!!! I learnt how to knit with very great difficulty when I was a child, it was difficult because I am the only person in my family who is a lefty, and my gran (who is a lightning knitter) spent a lot of time and patience trying to work out the best way of teaching me to hold needles, wool etc. Whilst I have been off from work (and been instructed by the doc to relax) I decided to try my hand at crochet as I found a magazine with some lovely patterns in.
I CAN'T DO IT!!!!
I am so frustrated, I can't pick anything other than double and treble up and can't do any of the patterns or shaping. Have tried photocopying the diagrams of what to do and reversing it, and attempted it and pulled it back and had another go, but I can't do it. I now live 65 miles away from my gran, so can't pop round and ask her to decifer the pattern and show me how to make bloody magic rings and trb into ch sp
I've learned how to do everything else as a lefty, and do a few other crafty things, but sooooo wanted to crochet a lovely lacey throw/blanket for my living room. Have just put it away before my hook is ejected at great speed out of the window. Gutted
