I mostly learned how to crochet through the channel A Menagerie of Stitches. I mostly learned how to sew through trial and error, tips from my mom, and a YouTube video here and there.

I used to work with disabled adults as a direct support professional before becoming permanently disabled myself, and one of my clients is the one who taught me the basics of knitting. Beyond that I am self taught in crochet and more complex knitting skills. That and shared tips and tricks with friends. Ribbler has actually been very helpful on my learning journey as well! The patterns and community here have been very fun and helpful.

I learned multiple yarn crafts from my Grandma. She was a retired nurse so was always home as we grew up. Being extremely introverted, I preferred to stay inside with a book much of the time. While visiting my Grandma, she started to teach us to crochet and knit. We also learned to make things with plastic canvas, and stamped or counted cross stitch. As I took up the crochet hook, my 20 stitch square, quickly became 25, 30 stitches, brlecause I was always loosing track of which stitches I had alread done another stitch into, so I learned increases without knowing it.
For that reason, I liked knitting better. Once you did a stitch, it was on the other needle. But at the time, my favorite quickly became counted cross stitch. It just clicked and made sense. I could creat beautiful pieces without much artistic ability. Cross stitch remained with me through college and grad school, and some justcafter my son was born. But then the reality of time is no longer your own hit, and cross stitch went bye bye. For 15 yrs, i didn’t do any fiber crafts.
A couple of years ago, my daughter started showing interest in crochet. Her Nana bought her a Wooble to try learning crochet. Somehow she unraveled the entire thing, even the ring that was not supposed to be able to undo. My MIL tried to fix it, but couldn’t. So she received several Woobles for Christmas that year. I realized one day that she was going tobstart asking me for help. So one night while they were at Urban Air, I walked next door to JoAnn’s and picked up a knitting 101 book and a circular needle set, a crochet projects for children book (had all the instructions for basic stitches) a 5mm hook and a couple skeins of Red Heart Granny Squares. The book said to start with chains until you were comfortable and had consistent tension. Well muscle memory is a surprising thing. Took me about 5 minutes for my hands to remember what to do. Next thinkg I knew I started a chain for a lap blanket. (Had no idea ho big I was making it) I think I stopped at 250-300 chains. Then started sc , little did I realise I was doing BLO sc until about 10 rows in, well at that point i figured i had done the bottom border, and started changing up my stitches whenever I felt like it, leaving about 10 stitches BLO on each side as a border. It was fun to make, and I used about 10-12 skeins when I finally said, its done. What was supposed to be a lap blanket, nearly covers my king size bed.
The quilt underneath was made by my parents (another fiber art I have done in the past)
So long story short, my crochet learning has spanned 40 years, with lots of people influencing my technique and what I like to work on.
I really like helping others improve their patterns, an am so glad that I found Ribblr and the testing calls.
Thank you everyone.

My aunt Vickie taught me how to crochet when I was 8 yrs old. She taught me the basics of crocheting and I could crochet straight lines to make blankets and wash cloths. My daughter Kylee taught me how to make amigurumi’s a few yrs ago. Crocheting everyday reminds me of my aunt. I lost her to Alzheimers/ Dementia almost 2 yrs ago, she was only 66 yrs old. I miss her very much!

Wellll..
I lived in MA and recently moved to Texas! It was a difficult move, and I felt left out of school bc you know.. so I made a friend (thanks to my mom) and she started a crochet club since she had been crocheting for over 6 yrs!! I started attending and soon.. no, I didn’t learn to crochet from there! My friend and the teacher who taught there were AMAZING teachers, yet I didn’t learn from them. Guess who I learned from….
Did u guess it?
YOUTUBE!!
one day, over winter break I was BORED so I decided to start up crochet again.
I opened YouTube, and soon, one very helpful channel (lil things!) taught me in one week!! I was so happY!! 
I still learn new things every day tho! And sometimes I do feel out of it for a month or two, but crochet is very rewarding!
Now, I teach my own class..
And it’s super helpful!!! <3
I learn new things every day
