Crochet Like An Expert
If you think that boys don’t like crochet, think again. I’ve had hundreds of hours of pleasure making usuful and decorative gifts with crochet. It’s probably my least energetic pastime, apart from reading books, but I can crochet while watching TV and I can’t read a book while watching TV.
It’s really easy, which is why I started when I was a child. My brother liked complicated things like tatting, but I preferred things that looked difficult but were really easy. That’s because I’m lazy.
Because it is so simple, you can learn most of what you need to make a start, from the five free lessons offered here. Of course, they hope that you’ll enjoy yourself so much that you’ll be eager to learn more, and buy their book. That seems reasonable to me - they have given you a chance to see if your hands are capable of doing the work.
I admit that some men with hands like spades might not be able to do thread crochet, and people with poor eyesight might also have problems, but some crochet work can be done with giant crochet hooks, which don’t need good eysight or nimble fingers. You should see the speed at which you can crochet a floor rug with a monster hook and strips cut from old stockings.
