LOL! I bought a crochet book at Walmart a few weeks ago and the crochet stuff and am going to try and learn how to crochet sweaters for my babies. Is the knitting easier??? It is different isn't it???
I also bought a sewing machine today at Walmart and am going to try and make some dog clothes! I haven't a clue about either, except that my grandmother taught me how to crochet a chain....I'm gonna try to teach myself the rest, but you are right, the lingo they use in those books is foreign to me, LOL
Let us know how you are progressing!!!
