Crochet "How-To" - Making a Good Start

The beautiful art of crochet is currently riding on a wave of renewed popularity because of the gorgeous crocheted clothes and accessories that are high fashion at the moment, and I'm sure there are lots of ladies who have added an up-to-the-minute crocheted garment into their wardrobe already.
But for every person who knows how to crochet there are probably several who don't have even enough crochet 'how to' just to get off first base.
So for everyone who has looked at fashionable crocheted garments in the catalogues and thought about how much less it would cost if you were to make it yourself, and how good you would feel knowing that what you were wearing was making a real fashion statement, and you had made it, I want you to know you CAN do it with a little bit of crochet 'how to'.
For everyone who has ever admired a fine lace doyley, or wanted to be able to crochet a beautiful shawl for a beloved baby, or looked at the colourful patterns in a rug or throw and thought what a pleasure it would be to be able to make something so colourful and cosy and useful, I am here to say that you, too, can join the ranks of the accomplished people who created all those things.
What you require is some knowledge - some crochet 'how to' - to get you going, and the truth is there are many useful resources available to you.
So many, in fact, that choosing which will be the most appropriate for you can be quite a task.
To help you along, I have pre-selected several excellent resources which will be useful at various stages of your learning.
If you are not sure how to make a chain, or double crochet, or what a 'treble' is, or even if crochet is worked around, or in squares, or in straight lines, then you are a prime candidate for some basic crochet how to.
It's not too difficult, and you can get started right away.
I understand what it's like to be just starting out on something - lots of questions about what to do, not knowing where to find the best answers and, perhaps worst of all, having the feeling that you don't even know what you ought to be asking! So you get a bit of info from somewhere and make a start, hoping it will do the trick, only to find when you have made a mistake that you can't find the answer anywhere.
