I am thinking of learning to crochet. Does anyone know of good online resources for doing that?
Posted by jessica at February 3, 2004 2:41 PMCrochet Cabana has great tutorials with step-by-step pics. Also some great projects.
Posted by: Heather at February 8, 2004 12:36 AMThank you for both suggestions! I have to admit, the crochet thing may turn out to be a whim. Really I just need to admit that I'm lamely coveting Jessica Simpson's shawl by Cecilia De Bucourt. The basic pattern seems to be here: http://hassdesign.com/DeltaCrochetTechniques/ although the photo that's there seems to be without the "puffs" that Cecilia's shawl has. Okay, who wants to make me one?

She's got a great sense of humor -- lets you know when to take a break and have a cup of coffee... she also wrote Knitting in Plain English.

I am with you! I am also "lamely seeking" the Cecilia de Bucourt shawl ( but dont want to pay the $250.00) So, who wants to make me one too?!?
