My New Hobby

I have starting teaching myself how to crochet. It is really challenging for me and I don't really have anyone to show me what to do. I have a couple of books and you tube videos that are helping but I am not the most coordinated person. I end up with knots, and kinks, and loops, and everything I am trying to avoid. I do a couple of stitches and then rip it all out. I start over more than I would like to admit.

Today I completed my first real project! I made a rug for my bathroom. It is just a simple Double Crochet but I used three yarns at the same time. I love the way it turned out.


 
I am really enjoying learning how to crochet. I just need to learn how to keep the boys from 'helping' me! I am tired of rolling up my yarn after they stretch it all over the house.
