crocheting?

I used to crochet many many years ago & would like to take it up again. What size needle should I get? Where do I go to learn again?

crochet hooks are pretty inexpensive. i would say that a good size to start with would be determined by the type of items you'd like to make... you'll find the recommended hook size on the ball band of the yarn.

i tend to use my F hook the most. i use "medium" thick yarn most often when crocheting.

as far as classes: youtube has a bagillion people offering free how-tos, there's also ravelry.com (i spend a LOT of time on that website) (it's a forum site where a lot of people can help you learn all sorts of things), i would also check your local michaels or ac moore or library... oh, and you can probably find a knit/crochet group that meets local to you (i found mine on ravelry).

hope that helps
