Voulez-vous crochet avec moi ce soir?
At Tuesday night's meeting of the Hat City Scissor Squad (which was really just me, Anne and Eva hangin out at Java's...LOL), Eva taught Anne and I how to crochet!! Ooh I feel so fancy!
I have been sick all week (UGH!) and actually went home early from work on Wednesday and stayed home altogether yesterday! Feeling a little bit better now that I slept for hours upon hours..... In my small amount of awake time yesterday, I dug out an old needlework book and practiced single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet and double triple crochet! Phew!
I feel like I am starting to get over my seemingly irrational fear of crochet hooks. I use them in my knitting when a little surgery is necessary to fix a wrong stich or pick one up that I dropped (gasp!) - but I have put off learning how to use them for their actual purpose. I hope that little hook feels a little more fulfilled now that she has been used for actual crochet! Props to Eva for being a great (and patient!) teacher for us! She's planning on teaching a crochet class for kids at the Y where she works - how cool is that???
Another new trick I learned (we were so productive on Tuesday!) was Magic Loop!! Anne took the time to show Eva and I how to knit even the tiniest item in the round on circulars! And it was so simple that I proclaimed a giant DUH! for all to hear! I just could not wrap my head around it until someone actually showed me how to do it..... Thank to both Eva and Anne! I need to think of something I can teach in trade!!!
Not much knitting news in the last few days.....way too groggy to follow that cable chart! My yarn for Skully should arrive today or tomorrow! I am hoping to get that sucker started this weekend! Can't wait! And now that I am feeling alittle bit better, I might just allow someone to photograph me in Pia..... TRUST ME, you did NOT want to see what I have looked like the past coupla days......

Crochet, cool! A lot of the girls in my entry crochet, so I might try to learn that...sometime in the future, I think I have enough on my plate as it is right now. But that's really cool that you learned.
Sounds like you have a great group to hang out with on tuesdays. Hope you feel better soon!
