Crochet And Knitting

The magic of hook and needles is just addcitive once you start  Here when my son was suppose to born I just want to keep me engaged and do something creative .I hooked to crochet hook .
I was also a beginner one day in the field of crochet but once I learnt, I feel that the world is endless . I love to do variation and making new patterns and style .Is not that I am always successful ,intially the stitches looks so messy and untidy I always forget the stitches but stiking on one type of stitch made my path easier ,by practice and taking small project making them successful is the key .Intially better to take small project rather than bigger one .The best time to learn is during your pregnancy..the coming baby make you enthusiastic all the time you to love to see and make the small things.
