First Stitches: A Beginner’s Guide for Right and Left-Handed Crafters
This is where it all starts. First Stitches walks you through the basics of crochet — from holding the hook to completing your first project — with clear instructions for both right-handed and left-handed crafters. Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or teaching someone who is, this guide was written to make that first stitch feel doable. Available as a digital download, Kindle eBook, or paperback.

About the Author
Hi, I’m Mary Ann, creator of My Tasteful Threads, a cozy lifestyle blog where I share left-handed crochet, meaningful travel ideas, from-scratch recipes, and simple everyday living. Most evenings you’ll find me with yarn in one hand, a cup of tea nearby, and a good book within reach.
I spent many years as an IT project manager, so I love a good checklist, and these days I put that planning to work in my kitchen, my travels, and my crochet basket. I’m also a grandmother, and when I’m not stitching or stirring, I’m sharing budget-friendly ideas at my sister site, The Frugal Nook.
