I've been crocheting since I was in 5th grade. I learned from a classmate. I can read patterns and have made a lot of afghans, scarves and booties but never any clothing. Right now I'm working on crocheting mittens for my grandchildren. The only thing hard about it is guessing the size since they will be Christmas gifts. I also learned to knit at the same time but never really got into it until a few years ago. Now I knit dishcloths and scarves. I haven't ventured out to things that require a lot of concentration...
