For those who are just beginning the art of crochet, you have probably completed many a blanket. If you don't want to end up with your sleeves a different shade to your body, make sure all of the batch numbers on the balls you buy are the same.
I always buy an extra ball than is recommended in the pattern just in case you need a bit extra, most good yarn stores will accept them back if you've bought too many. Although other forms of handwork can be dated far back in time, owing to archaeological finds no one is quite sure when and where crochet began. Also take a look at the crochet instructions to determine the materials needed for your project.
If you are just beginning crochet, it may be helpful to purchase a crochet scarf pattern to help you along. You may be able to find places that you can go to download the patterns onto your computer to print off later. It provides a healthy venue for women and even young girls to come together to share thoughts and exchange views while exchanging crocheting patterns.
I find it very relaxing, a great stress reliever. The most important thing to remember when starting to crochet is not to get overwhelmed.
