Crochet Items For Beginners When you get started crocheting for the first time, I can promise you, you will get frustrated. Sorry but its true. Here are some tips that I found that will help you. If you’re impatient to get your project started, you might be tempted to rip the label off your skein of yarn and get to work. Technically, you can crochet with skeins of yarn, but it many cases you can achieve better results if you take the time to wind the skein into a ball first. This is especially true for beginners. Balls of yarn have a couple of advantages over skeins: Avoid Tangles. Center-pull skeins of yarn can tangle easily towards the end. Balls of yarn are less likely to tangle. Improve Tension. If you have a hard time achieving even tension, try working from a ball of yarn rather than a skein. Ball winders are available to help you with this task, but you can also do it by hand. http://crochet.about.com/od/tipstroubleshooting/tp/Crochet_Tips.htm 2.  W
