Total newbie here ^^

Hello everyone, Im freshly new here since about maybe an hour or so ago.
Im also still completely new to crocheting. I have only learned to do a chain and single crochet so far. But Ive been looking for a lot of resources for when I learn more and this seems like heaven! (I might also learn to knit once Ive gotten the hand of crochet)

The website is a bit overwhelming though, so I still need to figure out what I should be doing or not here. Is there a rules page anywhere? Anyway, Im so excited to be here! This will undoubtedly be invaluable once I become better at crocheting. I also have a friend who has been crocheting for 2 years already. Shes the one that inspired me to start with it. She will undoubtedly love this site too.

Also, if anyone knows what books are the best to start learning with, those recommendations would be more than welcome. Because I have way too many books digitally and dont know with which one to start ^^ I heard the Modern Crochet Bible is a good one to start with.

Thank you for reading this : ) And if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them :D

Welcome~~!!!!

I might have to do it that way at first too. Because Im a visual learner as well. I need someone to show it to me before being able to do it myself. But Im sure that once Ive got the basics down, the books will be a tremendous help and source of inspiration too.

I am a cross stitcher/embroiderer but there are TONS of crochet patterns here, including books. Be sure to check the Knitting and Crochet Forums.
Good luck!

Welcome~~!!!! <3 Im a visual learner so I learnt how to crochet by following YouTube tutorials/patterns. If you prefer written books, Ive heard "Harmony" Guide to Crochet Stitches is pretty good! g.co/kgs/GW6d9z1

Welcome here! I learned crocheting of my mother, so I think you tube is a great resource for learning. (Handy because you can pause the films)
