I found this excellent video on here The best stitch demonstration I have seen, really clear.
I was looking for this as my pattern pictures were not clear.

Thanks for that Nelliem. The site is now bookmarked - yes indeed, some great videos on there.
What a wonderful resource the internet is - I've just finished a little baby cardigan done in bee stitch, a knitting stitch that I found online and was perfect for a tiny garment. So glad I came across it!

Thanks, Nellie smile

Agree the web is a wonderful thing - my daughter taught herself to crochet by watching YouTube tutorials and she is now teaching me one on one.

To about role reversal!

Grannyknot my 23 year old son also taught himself to crochet by watching Youtube; he wanted to make some toys to send to his new niece in NZ, so bought this book and has now made Emily the rabbit and plans to work his way through the rest of the animals. I'm actually very impressed with his abilities which far outshine mine.

Sounds good. I used to be able to crochet but find it difficult to pull hook through now, so just tend to give up. Must go to You Tube and see if it's any help to me.
