This year I really wanted to learn some new skills and one of those skills was crochet. I really really want to learn how to crochet. I have been trying to teach myself for about 2 years and it is just something that I can't do. I always get annoyed at myself and give up. Then try again a few months later, it is a revolving cycle of frustration.
But since I noticed the
Crochet Ripple A Long going on over at
One Crafty Mumma I have had a renewed passion to give it another go!
I have been watching You tube video after You Tube video,
I ordered some new wool,
dug out my crochet hooks and well I have chained 199 stitched and pulled them out repeatedly.
I've chained another 199 stitched and tonight once the house goes quiet I will be tackling that first row of stitches... again.
Wish me luck!
Love your yarn colours, Amy! Where did you order from? Come on, we need details - brand, ply, etc! So we can copy you of course ;o)

Love those colours. I want to learn how to crochet again, too. Haven't done it since childhood and those wave blankets are adorable. Good luck!
