When my Grandma Philip was here I saw how pretty her crocheting is. It made me really want to try it. SOOO I ran to duckwalls (probably not the cheapest place to go) to get a book, yarn and a hook. I was determined to teach myself. I got as far as a chain and a single crochet mastered when I got stuck. Luckily between a phone call to Grandma and Jer's mom showing me more I have now graduated to the double crochet and that is where I am staying for now. It will be a simple baby blanket but I like how it is coming so far and I feel very proud of myself the further I get on the project.
I chose these colors because I am not a big fan of the traditional pastel baby colors. I loved this fun brown and aqua blue yarn!

Congratulations on the baby boy! Very exciting!! I'm trying to learn to knit...well I know how to knit, but I'm trying to learn how to do it better so one of these days we need to get together and make scarves or something!
Cool! I experience the same thing, I get really excited about a project and that is all I want to do (thus, the obsession). I spent so much time crocheting beanie's in the winter, then it faded out in the spring. Just yesterday my sister sent me a link to these REALLY cute crocheted "play food" patterns and I just had to break out the yarn today. It's really therapeutic for me, I'm sure once you get the hang of it it will be for you too! Yay! Good job!
Good Luck. IT is fun I was making one for Ashlyn when I first was pregnant but got stuck and eventually took the whole thing out. Stupid I know. It was cute while it lasted.
I've been trying to teach myself knitting (by watching YouTube videos). There is something about working with your hands. I love it.
Way to go Candi-baby you can keep doing this in between running your kids around to school. :-)
