A while ago now my mum and I decided to learn to crochet granny squares and make a blanket together. But it wasn't until recently that I have began to try and learn. I think it is best to say up front that i am not very good at doing intricate tasks with my hands and so for me learning to crochet is going to be a very slow process. So it has taken me 5 days to conquer a slip note, foundation chain, and a single crochet.
I am using a book called 200 Crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afgans by Jan Eaton.
But also found these youtube videos helpful -

These video made me realise that i was making each chain to tight, which was making it way too hard to single crochet. - So there is hint for anyone learning like myself.
Hopefully I will have made some progress to show you soon :)
