Something Old but NEW: Crochet

I have re-started a hobby that i enjoyed doing years ago. Yep you guessed it...CROCHET! I used to do it when I was younger but just stopped, probably from lack of wanting to just sit and one place and crochet my life away. I think the season and the overwhelming amount of knit wear I've seen inspired me to start crocheting again. Yesterday I went to Ben Franklin's and bought a couple balls of yarn and started working on a scarf. When I was younger I never did any other stitches other than the basic one, so I bought a phamplet that explains how to construct different patterns with different stitches. Hopefully it will not be difficult to understand. I posted some pictures of my progress so far. Can't wait to share the finished product with you!

Starting Point

Have a long way to go but not giving up.

If you have any tips, suggestions or questions about crocheting please dont hesitate to leave a comment! :)
