I'm putting together a how to crochet 101 tutorial for the tutorial section. Thus far i don't have any photos but i can take some tonight. Should I take pictures or make drawings (im a fairly decent artist)?

Also i'm teaching crochet via making a scarf, should i put in a second tutorial, maybe a simple hat?


Oh! One more thing, would anyone be interested in an Amigurumi tutorial as well? (little crocheted animals)

Thanks- Tulip

I think a combination would be the most helpful. A photo showing what its going to look like, a drawing which is a 'simplified view', maybe colored to show exactly what your talking about....

Would you like me to make a video of me doing like... single crochet and double crochet, and chain stitching? It would be no problem, i could do it later this evening or tomorrow...

I think that putting together some basic links would be helpful. Links to easy hats and plushies and things. I noticed that our linklist doesn't have anything for crochet....

Let me know if you need ANY help, via this thread or PM. I would be happy to help!

I would LOVE an Amigurumi tutorial. I keep finding suoper cute patterns, but none with good pictures and I've never seen it done. Thus, it mildly scares me. xd

I think maybe some kind of tutorial showing how to crochet in the round would be super. That's one of the things people get stuck on a lot. Even just a quick tutorial of a circle or a granny square would work.

I'm with Peppermint Elf, I'd love to see an amigurumi tutorial as well. Maybe something very simple to start with.
A hat tutorial would be good for teaching rounds and would complement the scarf tutorial very well in my opinion. I also think that a combination of photos and drawings to illustrate a tutorial is best, but again, that's just my opinion.
