i've started crocheting again

and it's not going as well as i thought it would. i'm trying to make a basket. there's a new thing called the magic circle/hoop. it's not as easy as it looks. i think i have it now but i'm not good at it. there are thousands of youtube videos on how to do it. i'm supposed to work with three or more stands of wool at the same time. this in itself isn't a problem but when you are crocheting into the dreaded magic cirlcle/loop things start to go wrong. i can never get the beginning right. i used to teach my mother how to crochet granny squares but that was forty years ago. never mind. i will persevere.
