If you get stuck on crochet or knitting patterns, it might help to check out your local library. Our's has a good range of craft books suitable for beginners and the more experienced. Loads of advice, suggestions and patterns all for free. I've also found the library a good source of all sorts of craft books and cookery books. You can try things out without paying for the book.
