my little brother has been doing it for about a year, and hes turning out some cool hats and whatnot... it didnt take him too long to figure it out.
i think the easiest way is to have someone who knows how to do it well teach you once or twice, or get one of those books that shows you the different stitches.
Mercy's eyes are blue
When she places them in front of you
Nothing holds a roman candle to
The solemn warmth you feel inside
