That’s insane, you’re so clever!
My first attempt at knitting… safe to say I won’t be knitting any jumpers any time soon 
I really struggle with tension, no idea what the hell else made it go bits up

Everyone's first knitting looks like that. Stick with it, it can be insanely frustrating at first, then you'll find that it just clicks all of a sudden.My first attempt at knitting… safe to say I won’t be knitting any jumpers any time soon

The nice thing about knitting is that you can rip out the needles, unravel it and start over as many times as you need.
Just keep going row after row and you will see it changing as you get used to it.My first attempt at knitting… safe to say I won’t be knitting any jumpers any time soon

Wish there was a knitting class in my area 
I did once learn how to do basic knitting (scarf)but now forget cast on and off.
God, I was addicted, couldn't put it down lol but i crave it so bad but I don't think I could learn from online.

Ask on your local group if anyone can help you, My daughter learned to crochet from watching youtube and now makes the most amazing things.Wish there was a knitting class in my area

YouTube is so good for this. You can slow the videos down.Wish there was a knitting class in my area

Ok my second attempt at knitting has gone better but can anyone tell me why the bottom left is not a corner? I didn’t think I’d gone wrong anywhere. And the end bit circled is always really loose, not sure why. Need to learn some more stitches soon.
I learned as well from YouTube lol
I've been making these wind spinners an a shop now buys them

That’s lovely. Who Did you watch on YouTube? I tried Bella coco (think that’s the name) but I couldn’t get the hang of it at all, even slowing down the videos didn’t help lol.
Will try one more time then think I’ll have to find a class or something because there’s so much I want to make.
Try Blosson Crochet. Her tutorials are lovely...a few years ago I could only do a chain! Fiber Spider is good as well when you feel more confident.
Thank you, it was ophelia talks I think the channel was called, I've done so many now I can do them from memory but I do remember it was quite well explained an very clear to watch in the video
My latest creations. Ive crocheted and crafted forever, but the pressed flower art is my latest love.
Gosh… I just LOVE making stuff! Relaxation whilst being productive - it’s win-win!

Does anyone have recommendations for crocheting little animals that's beginner friendly an doesn't involve that chunky yarn most use, my yarn is quite thin an the ones I mostly see is that thick stuff
Hello fellow crafters!
I have dabbled in most things (except anything needlework related!) and seem to rotate through crafts, as I get bored easily
That said, I seem to be better at collecting craft stuff that actually using it
Current “thing” is my cricut machine and heat press, I’m just discovering all of the possibilities- just need a few more hours in the day….

Every time I go Hobbycraft I look at the Cricut stuff but I'm concerned once I fall down that rabbit hole I will be making personalised EVERYTHINGHello fellow crafters!

It does look fun! I'm like you, I like to dabble in a few crafts. I crochet and sew at the moment. Have just made lots of summer clothes and now it's getting cold again, I am turning my attention to making Autumn and Winter clothes. It's an expensive hobby, because I seem to keep watching youtuber Sewists who recommend sewing tools etc in their videos and then I end up collecting them 
I parked Crochet over the summer because I tend to gravitate towards it in the colder months, I guess mainly because I make scarves and handwarmers and hats, and sometimes bears.
I made a teddy from this book:
It was with normal weight yarn though, but the instructions were good.
For smaller yarn, I wonder if this would be any good? I'm tempted, Ive made a couple of normal sized bears but would like to make mini arigurumi...
I've also seen a few indie patterns on etsy, might be worth a look there
You sound very much like me! I'm currently looking into getting a cricut machine... I'm very tempted, just put off a bit by the lack of space to do it in! I keep falling down a rabbit hole looking at you tube videos and Facebook groupsHello fellow crafters!

Thanks I'll check them out, haven't used a book yet cause I've been on YouTube lol but I think am starting to understand what the stitch names are now so can maybe try a patternI made a teddy from this book:
