Cheryl,
Welcome!
If you have a particular picture in mind and you have it on your computer, you can turn it into a crochet graph with the help of the freePatternWizard, which is available from the menu above, under "patterns/create a pattern."
I would suggest using the Stitchboard Basic Palette, as too many colors in a pattern would be next to impossible to match to yarn.
Also, as I tell people who are expert crocheters but have never made a graphghan before, from personal experience I've discovered it's best to start small and simple. My favorite example is my almost-disastrous try at making crocheted bangle bracelets...they looked so beautiful, and since I've been crocheting for years and years, I must be expert enough, right? Of course not!
Holding the beads, thread and hook was very awkward, challenging and not at all instinctive. I almost gave up, but then in desperation grabbed some yarn and pony beads, and before I knew it, crocheting with beads was no longer awkward!
I would suggest starting with a pillow or some kind of square at first.
Once you feel comfortable, transitioning over to a large graphghan should be easy!
BTW, feel free to post pictures of any of your work (graphghan related or not) in our photo albums, so everyone can drool!

I'm a beading, knitting and crochet addict. If that means I'm admitting I have a problem, then I admit to nothing. Please refrain from helping me.
