There is just something so delightful about the whimsy of crochet. Like granny blankets made up of all those little round crochet pieces sown together. Little kids blankies, scarves, hats, even hair accessories! I love it all! Love the colors and the design, love that it looks easy to do. Sure I can do this!
For Christmas last year, Santa gave me a crochet hook and some yarn. A whole year later and the hook was still in its packaging and the yarn had been played with by the kids. Ok, time to dig it out and do this already!
I thought I would turn to one of the best teachers around and one that came recommended to teach me crochet...You Tube. After watching a number of how-to tutorials for beginners, not to mention a number of choice words and throwing of the ball of yarn. I am no more ahead than I was before I started. Just more frustrated!!! How the hell do you hold the thing? Why does mine not look like theirs? I lost count with how many times I pulled it apart to start over. grrrr! While I am determined to learn this, it really is harder than it looks. I have the passion to learn but maybe not the co-ordination. I feel all thumbs! So I will keep trying and post my (so far frustrating) journey! I really would love to produce some beautiful one of a kind crocheted pieces in my store!
