Loocahswit: Beginner's Block:: One stop page to learn your way to crochet

On this page I listed some blog or web links of various crochet topics that helped me on my crochet journey. Theses links are also included in my blog list. I am also hoping that this would help other crochet beginners like me, be a sort of, one stop reference to links that has lessons about crocheting. I will also try to categorize as well as add a little description for some list. If you're asking, why not just create my own tutorials? Well number one, I don't have the proper tools yet for creating a good tutorial. If I would be creating one (one day of course), I wanted it to be with pictures and/or videos. Number two, I'm also a beginner....I'm still learning as well and I think I need more experience for me to be able to really, you know, take that plunge on giving lessons for anyone who wants to learn crocheting. So for now, this would suffice, helpful links for beginner's like me to learn crochet.....
