Crocheting has been on my mind for weeks and weeks now. Even though I have a fairly full plate at the moment, I can't stop thinking about it and wanting to learn it! And here you go writing about it. Must be a sign to indulge my inner Granny and finally give crocheting a try. :)<br /><br />Take care,<br />Erin<br /><br />(As you can tell, I'm hideously behind in my blog reading since I'm only now commenting on a post from 10 days ago. I would have loved to have participated in your latest link party but will be checking out the entries all the same. How do you think of these clever ideas for parties?

I'm so glad you've done this post on crocheting - it's something I've had on the back burner for a few weeks now...I've bought all my essential items but haven't made the time to sit down and get stuck into it. It's been a long time between stitches for me...I'm a bit nervous, so i've been psyching myself into it!! hehehe!! So now, you've spurred me on and I'm off to get started...well, I think I'll start by heading off for a closer look at your book review.<br />Alison xx<br />ps. loving your book reviews...

I've known how to knit since I was young but it's a little boring. I saw this really cute jelly jar cover and a tea cozy that I wanted to make so I got a "How To Crochet" book and practiced making wash cloths like I guess everyone learns and to this date, that's all I have; 3 wash cloths!!!
