Don't Try and Find the Yarn In the Middle

I have been crocheting for 28 years as of 2008. I have tried to start a ball of yarn from the middle only to find myself untangling and completely frustrated, often giving up on my project because of the knots and mess I get. I have found it is best to start from the outside of the ball rather than trying to find the centre thread to start with.

In order that yarn does not get tangled as I go through the ball and it gets thinner so the inner thread is showing, I use a small canister to put my yarn in (out of reach of my cats of course :} ) and I rarely find I get tangles or frustrated.

As much as it can be nice to work from the inside out, save yourself the frustration and work from the outside in.
