Crocheting

Crocheting is one of my favorite things to do.I learned about a year or two ago, from Eirene. Eirene is my artist, crocheter, and culinary friend.At first it was difficult to master, because she was right handed, and I was left handed.Then one day it just clicked,and it became one of my favorite hobbies.I also knit, but I am not crazy about it.(thanks to Eirene's mom for teaching knitting to me)

One of the benefits of crocheting is that there is so much to make. You can make stuffed animals, scarfs, bags, clothes,and sooooooo much more. I made tons of scarfs, jewelry, and granny squares with intricate patterns, as well as some other odds and ends.Now I am making a hat for my doll. It is going to be brown and pink.All crocheting takes is yarn and a hook. I have added a video that can teach you some simple stitches in crocheting.
