The best place I found for information about the beginnings of crochet, was in Wikipedia, the "crochet" entry. I have added this site as a link to this question. I have also added a couple of Crochet History links that you might find interesting, also.

What are the tools called that you use in knitting?

Once the fiber is prepared (shorn, picked, scoured and carded) it is ready for spinning.

There are two common techniques for spinning, with a drop spindle or with a spinning wheel. With both devices a leader (scrap yarn) is attached either to the spindle or to the bobbin of the spinning wheel.

With a drop spindle, the leader is then wound, hooked, or tied in place. With a wheel, the leader is threaded around hooks on the flyer and through the orifice.

Twist is put into the leader. With a spindle, the spindle is spun in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. With a wheel, treadles are pedaled which cause the bobbin and flyer to rotate, such that the wheel rotates in a clockwise direction when viewed by the person spinning.

When twist is built up into the leader, fiber is held against the leader above the twist and the twist is allowed to travel up into the fiber. This twists the leader and fiber together.

Now it is time to draft. The fibers are gently pulled lengthwise so that some fibers slide in the drafting hand while others remain held in the twist hand. This thins the bundle of fibers to the desired thickness so you can spin fine yarns as well as thick yarns as desired. Twist is allowed to travel up into the drafted fiber. This locks the fibers together. The newly twisted fiber is wound onto the spindle, or on a wheel the spinner allows the wheel to pull the strand through the orifice, over the flyer hooks and be wound onto the bobbin.

Once the spindle or bobbin is full the single strand can be plied with other single strands. Plying is the process of twisting two single strands together. Plying is done in a counter clockwise direction.

What does slip 1 mean in knitting?

There are two ways to slip a stitch, knit-wise and purl-wise. When in doubt, generally you should slip purl-wise. Insert the needle into the stitch to be slipped either as if to knit (knit-wise) or as if to purl (purl-wise). Then slide it off the left needle without pulling a new stitch through it. That's all there is to it.

Here are some applications:

For a tidy selvage edge, slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise.

For a decrease that is the mirror image of a K2TOG, do an SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit). Slip one stitch knit-wise. Slip another stitch knit-wise. Slipping knit-wise gives the stitches a half twist. Now slip them both together back onto the left needle, passing them with the needles held tip to tip. Knit them together through the back loops.

How do you make a shell on crochet?

To crochet a shell stitch you will be making a series of double or treble stitches, which will be joined at the top, but not the bottom. A common number of stitches used to make the shell would be five, however if only two stitches are joined, that would be referred to as a decrease, and doesn't really qualify as a shell stitch.

I have attached some links to video tutorials to show you how to make shell stitches.

How to understand crochet patterns?

look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn

As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern.

If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different.

If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.

How do you form a double treble crochet stitch?

First, make a chain that is three stitches longer than the number of double crochets you want in your row.

Bring yarn once over hook from the back to front; skip the first three chains from the hook, then insert the hook into the 4th chain. Hook yarn and draw it through the chain stitch into the working area of your hook. You now have three loops. Hook yarn and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook. You have two loops. Hook yarn. Draw yarn through both loops. When you reach the end of the row, make three chains before turning to start the next row. This chain three counts as the first double crochet of the row.

Why does the blanket im crocheting curve?

It might be one of two problems. You may be adding extra stitches accidentally which will cause a curve because of the added length. But most likely it has to do with your tension. If you don't keep the same amount of tension on the yarn as you crochet, then some stitches will be tighter and some looser. You may be able to fix some of the curving with blocking after you finish the project.

How many skeins of yarn do i need for a full size afghan I am using a k hook and doing single crochetes?

The size of the needle depends on the gauge of the pattern you are using. If you are not using a pattern, or are using a pattern that has no gauge, then check the label of the yarn used. Most labels today will give you a size of needle that they recommend for that specific yarn.

Other word for sewing or knitting?

Sewing is done with a single needle that has a small eye that thread is put through. You then put the needle in and out of 2 pieces of fabric to bind them together.

Knitting is done with two long pointed needles (no hole inside). Yarn is cast onto the needles and they are manipulated to basically connect the yarn together to make a fabric.

Crocheting is similar to knitting, but uses one needle that looks like a hook to manipulate the yarn into a fabric.
