With any hobby, it is important to keep developing your skills! This section is intended to provide resources that will help you find more advanced projects. You can look for the print resources at a library near you using WorldCat, or you can see if you can access them through your local library with Hoopla (if you library provides access to it). Reading the instructions in crochet books can be challenging. If you like, you can look at the resources for ideas, and then see if you can find a video that will show you how to actually complete the project. For example, if you find a pattern you like in The Granny Square book, you can google instructions/videos on how to create it. As you advance and perfect your skill, you may want to create projects to give to family members or to individuals in need. Use these resources to help you brainstorm ideas!
