It sounds like a hen house...I think it's great. I wish I had a group to join. I started my adventure in yarn with knit, so now I can't hold the yarn still with my left hand, I have to loop the yarn over the hook like I did with my knitting and it takes me longer to crochet...watching these ladies, I might be able to mimic something that will give my work more speed.

@IvoryKohl Oh yes it is such a hen house !!!! We giggle so much :O)

I have a question. My cousin is 73 years old. She told me that when she was a young woman, her mother showed her how to crochet holding the crochet hook very differently than how it is held today. Her mother's family was from Hungry and Eastern European countries. Do you have any idea how this was done or maybe a link you can post on this site? I've gone all over the internet and cannot find a darn thing on it. PS: Thanks for this great video!

@silentwriterofpa HI, thanks for your comment. That is very interesting. I have never heard of such a thing but it has me wondering what it is also ....Happy Crochet !

This was a great idea...I was beginning feek funny about the way I held my hook. There are as many ways as there are people;~D

@bobwilson123

Thats a good idea... except. I only started about 3 weeks ago... so far I have made a HUGE scarf... ruffled one... and 11 hats... because everyone wants a hat!!

So I have 2 more hats to make and then my daughter wants a Cat and 5 kittens!! (Do you know any where where I may get a cat and kitten pattern?? Cannot find one anywhere!!) then I may have some spare time to practice and make me a blanket which is why I started in the first place!! LOL

[bobwilson123]

@smekat with alot of practice you ill be faster ...I used to challenge myself on a scrap piece and see how fast i could get lol

[smekat]

@bobwilson123  Glad I am not the only one, wish I could do it the other way... it is faster, on average I am 4 stitches behind in every row...lol..

Never mind!!

Thankyou x

@gbmaltese HI !

I am so glad that you found ths video. I once got told that i was holding my hook WRONG and the lady was very mean about it ...As long as you make the stitches thats good enough ! Doesn't matter how you hold the hook or yarn :O)

[gbmaltese]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I am teaching myself to crochet by reading books and watching videos, and I felt hopeless at holding the yarn the way all these resources have shown me. How refreshing to see these ladies making such beautiful items, and using their own personal ways of holding yarn and hooks. I feel relieved to see that it is okay to be free with any technique!! Gorgeous crocheting too!!
