si just a backround...
ive been crocheting for about 3 years and tought my self how to knit about a month ago with the thought thai i only wanted to knit socks... i realized that there are too many other things that are calling me one is Clapotis.
im left handed and  i think i knit left handed( my working needle is in the left)
now the first 3 rows  are the problem all the other stuff i can manage once there is a stable base on the needle.. any one have any sugestions how advice for this inexperianced knitter. i want to experiance the joy of clapotis too!

I was just wondering everyones oppnion on socks how do you like to make them (toe up or cuff down) favorite sock yarn, circular or DPNs ... all that good stuff.

 just looking for a little inspiration to help with my bordom of the same ol', same ol'...

how hard would it be for a beginner? how do i make the color changes and the chart make sense?

i took my fiance to walmart to let him pich out yarn for slippers and a hat he wanted me to make him. the slippers went well with out any major problems. the hat however is giving me a real prolbem...
 his head is too big! i have tried both beanie patternd from SnB happr hooker and a pattern from Not your mamma's crochet but i need to shrink his head or something...

if any one knows of beanie pattern for big headed boys ro just a solution i wuold love it. thanks!

Okay so this is my one of my first times venturing far from the crochet forums but i figured this might be the best place to get some answers.

Mochi/ Mochi balls? what are they exactly i have been told that they are icecream kind of... and that they are a rice flour ball. so which are they?
i have never really heard of these until i heard of Pinkberry. I live in South Florida, a good solid hour with no traffic from Miami beach, so going to any of the "nicer" Japanese restaurants that offer them is out of the question.

If i must i will make them to figure out what exactly they are, thats what led me here.

if you know a simple recipe than i would love to try it out.

okay i love all the classic crochet pieces but i have found it hard to find free patterns! soed any one know where i can find free antique/vintage patterns and not doilys! 

Hi im kinda new to craftster and new to knitting as well. i jave been crocheting for like 3 years and really love the way knitted objects look. i have found many help full videos on line and have figured out how to cast on but after that i get confussed .... which had do i holt the yarn in which had does the empty needle go in... how do you juggle all this stuff.i think i just got overwhelmed... so if any one is a lefty and enjoy to knit you tips and help are really appreciated.

 this is the pattern i want it didnt think it looked to difficult( rather simple i think compared to some of the other things ppl make on here) if you have ever made it let me know how it came out and how it went

Hi Ive been reading all these boards since October i got my Happy Hooker book in December and i am finally trying several patterns. i have printed the corrections page and the help page that explains the "right front" of the short and sweet but am having problems with it before row 6.  i am making the large and am having problems with my shell count and the book and explanation page only has the diagram with 1 shell. could it be because I'm left handed i just have it all backwards? i don't know i might just frog the whole thing and try something else/. any help is appreciated!
