 http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/ .... go to that site, and you upload a picture. It will give you a graph for free. I haven't tried crocheting from a graph yet, but I was told many many times that it's not that difficult. Im sure there are tutorials to look up on youtube or elsewhere. |

I dont personally know any guys that do, but I think it's wonderful to embrace any form of art!! Whether you are male or female, it's not fair to jsut say Oh this is female only. Anyway- I would like to introduce you (via this post lol) to Drew, the Crochet Dude.:) He's awesome! http://blog.thecrochetdude.com/ |

check out Ravelry.com or craftster.org .. there are people from all ages and from all over the world. I agree in this "instant gratification" world we live in, it can seem like it's dying, but it's not. Especially with the economy here in the USA, making your own ANYTHING can be a lot cheaper and also more "green". |

I have- I did it with 2 different colors of yarn to get a desired effect. Yeah it makes it thicker but it's not about thickness 10% of the time. You may need/want to drop 1 strand at some point. If you are using a thicker yarn, you'll be stuck with 1 color, 1 thickness. It definitely has its uses! |

oh yeah there are TONS of videos on youtube for crocheting help and instruction. I would just type in crochet instruction, crochet lessons, or crochet help. Hope that helps! Also, in crocheting when you are using a thinner yarn, you use a smaller hook and vice versa with a thicker yarn. |
