Crochet, Here I Come

I remember my grandma trying to teach me to crochet when I was a child. Unfortunately, I didn't take much notice as knitting was always my thing.

Recently, I've seen so many wonderful projects on various blogs that I've been inspired to have another go at crochet. I've bought myself a hook, some cheap yarn to practice with and on a visit to Sainsbury's at the weekend I came across this crochet book, First Crochet by Lesley Stanfield. It shows how to get started, various stitches and there's simple projects to tackle as each new stitch is learnt. It was only £3.50, so hopefully, this book and various tutorials which I've come across on You Tube should help me.

I think I'll have to be patient a while longer though as the schools here broke up on Friday so I've got Daniel and Eleanor at home for the next fortnight. My knitting is already on a back burner so I'd better not start any crocheting yet. I should really wait for a quiet house anyway so I can concentrate, and this house is anything but quiet at the moment with those two around.
