Thanks again Mirjam
The problem is that I really don't do any crafts right now... So all my
rants about yarns I would like to have are... well... wishful thinking. But
when I get to it I promise I'll call Haya.

Shulamit , now that we spoke ,,,, over the phone, i am here to help ,
also please call Haya , thus you will have In -City help ,,,,
I don`t know which wool your shop lacks ,, i can send you a ball of
wool with Printed hook sizes , but my best advice to my pupils is TRY
,,,, take a new wool and play with it ,,,, try it with various sized
needles ,, with time you will `develope` a proper matching eye , and
i still try each `new` to me wool ,,, there is also a difference as to
waht you have in mind ,, shawls can be crocheted a little LOOSER than
sweaters, hats , bags ,,,, so one has to try ,,, And it isn`t a waste
of time . And if you can spare the thread you used to SWATCH ,, keep
your swatches for later use , if you can`t spare ,, just unravel it ,
Shabat Shalom to you
ps i will see if other gave you directions ,,, if needed i can fax you
some ilustrations [ or snail it ]
best way would contact some Local friend ,,,

Well, now that I'm here I am going to ask tons of questions! :-)

The granny square is the easiest crocheted square, right? Well, I must
admit
I cannot do it. For some reason it gets all crumpled, not flat as it
should
be.

Please - does someone have directions that work? I tried some from
several
websites and ended up frustrated with "furry balls" as my husband called
those trys when he saw them :-) or :-(

Also, while I'm at it - how should I choose the size of the hook? Should
it
be wider than the yarn? I think the yarn we have here doesn't have hook
sizes listed..
