A crocheted afghan is a great gift for family and friends. Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily.
The great thing about crochet is that you have the option of using many different stitches in your blanket to give it a different texture and look. Many projects were simply not documented, and a creation, or sample was passed down to the next generation to work their own magic from this sample they had in front of them. Believe me, it's better to be safe than sorry as there is nothing worse than running out of yarn and finding that the yarn store has run out of your batch.
The weight of the hook, hook material, and finger size and length will influence your decision. Having these books on hand will also walk you through the stitches if you are still in the learning stages. While some people like to meet friends through this common interest, some people are also more comfortable working independently on their crochet and their work comes out just as fine.
Often others find themselves driven by many motives to continue doing this craft for many years getting past the frustration. Search the Internet for free crochet patterns.
