need advice, info, tips on how to work on plastic canvas, how to knit & crochet?

fox asked:


I need any leads, advice, tips or places I can go on the internet or name of booklet found in craft store I can buy that will help me learn how to do the following crafts…KNITTING, CROCHET, and PLASTIC CANVAS!!!

I really need especially in the book or booklet format or instruction off the internet the simplest easiest way how to learn these crafts. I never did any of them before I have no clue how to do them. Im right handed if that helps or even matters, & I really need the most simple straight forward way how to do these crafts, not to put myself down or anything but I’m not too swift when it comes to these things I wish I had one on one instruction but I dont have the money or there is no adult school classes around me Its pretty rural so NO SUGGESTIONS IN THAT DIRECTION PLEASE

Im really intersted in all the crafts but the plastic canvas I want to know if you have to have any real talent to do that one? It appears to be the easiest one of all 3 so my real focus is on this

    This site has instruction on knittin and crocheting. They are free instructions and patterns.
    Plastic canvas is relatively easy.

    you might also want to try your local library. Ours has not only how to books on knitting and crochet, but also videos.

    I, too, am not very swift at following directions in books. I’m better when someone shows me how, so I really like videos.

    Start with this for crochet, then knit and then try about.com for plastic canvas.
    Hope these help.

    ps- try entering plastic canvas free patterns into your search engine. Almost all sites will have another site listed for tutorials.
