HELP! I've been attacked by WOOL and HOOKS!


How is it possible that I'm this bad at updating...? Oh, it's possible...

So, this post brings photos of the fantabulousness that is my crocheting. Before I start, lets get it out there. Crocheting, every time it is typed looks like someones writing the word "crotch". Cracks me up everytime.

Now that that's dealt with, on to the photos! So, I started trying to learn probably 3 times by renting the book "Stitch and Bitch: The Happy Hooker" out of the library in town. Don't be decieved by it's name... it's really not as rebellious as it sounds - I only learned how to crochet while reading it.

Unfortunately though, I've never been much for learning by book, so when a friend of mine offered to show me how to do it while watching Pirates of the Carribean 3, I jumped at the offer. I've only learned one stitch from her, but it's enough to make me freakin' excited right now, and start me on my first actual crocheting project!!


I basically grabbed all the old wool that was sweet colours from the bottom of the tupperware tub and started weaving them in when I finished the next one. The bottom is Purple, gray, light blue, dark blue, pink, brown, and then the rest of the scarf is going to be white. I'm about halfway done at this point, and I have no idea whether I'll actually wear it at this point, but I'm loving doing it! :D


Most of my crocheting goes on when I'm watching a movie, or at work when there's no customers. MY GOAL: to make sweet hats.



Watch me go, baby... watch me go....
-k.
