No, I won't be able to teach you, but I wanted to tell you about the wonderful person who taught me how to crochet, just in case you were thinking about learning. I am a visual learner and found out quickly that I would not be able to learn through the crochet books I purchased.
So, I searched the internet and came across the lovely Dana at Craftyminx who has a free online crochet school. Wow, what a true blessing her amazing crochet lessons were in my learning. It was so great that I could go back and watch over and over again how to do each stitch.
The hardest part for me was the initial chain and movement of my crochet hook. One day after watching her video "yarn meets hook"about 20 times (when I thought I would never get it), the light bulb went off! I finally saw what I was doing wrong and was so excited that I could move on to the other lessons! From there the rest of the lessons went great, of course, with much practice. The granny square lesson was my favorite. :)

So, thank you Dana for teaching me how to crochet! I am truly blessed to have come across your fabulous crochet school.
For you eager crafty souls who would like to learn how to crochet, I would highly recommend you take a little visit to Craftyminx and learn how to crochet, or just give her a big "Hello" and read her lovely blog!
