Crochet

For some unknown reason I have decided to tackle another crafty thing. I went to the library on Wednesday and checked out some books on how to crochet. I'm not quite sure how this is going to pan out, but I plan to give it my best! I have been looking over the books and it seems like it may be a rather difficult type of crafty thing. I chose books that looked like a dummy could learn by reading it, who knew that there was so much involved in crochet other than a hook and a needle! I am going to attempt a potholder as my first project. I'm a little afraid!

The first book I chose, " Crocheting in Plain English", sounds simple enough. Not only does this book show you the basics of the craft it also goes into quite intricate detail of the history of crochet. I guess it is good to know where and how things came about, but I would really just like to make a potholder.

The next book I chose, "How to Crochet", sounds simple enough. This one also goes into each and every type of hook and yarn or thread that can possibly be used. Just show me how to make a potholder already!!

The library sent me an email telling me they had a crochet video on hold for me. I am hoping that the DVD how-to will get straight to the point. I guess we shall see what happens when I pick it up on Monday!
