it's an excellent site, i have been crocheting for years and use it occasionally. I recommend it to everyone xD
Edit: there's a technique I recommend that is not on that site and that's the "Russian join" for joining the start of one ball of wool to the end of the one you were working with. it's a completely invisible join and has no ends to sew into your work which can be awkward depending on your pattern (if you have areas of lacey style crochet chains or Solomon's knots then it's really frustrating to hide ends.) I can't recommend learning the Russian join highly enough :)
Also being able to read crochet charts which will give you access to the wealth of Russian, Japanese and Spanish patterns out there that are all charted (also for piecing together bits of patterns into what you want to make!)
If you can, please send me the link whenever you're able! My sister's learning how to this weekend and I'm sure she could use the resources.

Thank you! I'll pass this off to her.
