WalMart has a "I Can Teach Myself to Crochet" book that comes with the crochet hooks and several items for about $10. I also bought myself some purple yarn.
After looking through the book I quickly realized that I would probably learn better with a video to help me so I found this video and several others that are part of a series. I really liked them and I referred back to it a few times.
Well, I have to say this, crochet is not as easy as it looks as a beginning. It is simple in the fact that it is easy to make loops and place yarn through it but, making a shape of some sort seems to be hard for me. Right now I just seem to be practicing my loops and hopefully I will get the hang of it before he comes home!
As you can see, I don't really have anything right now. But, the stitching doesn't look bad up close. I can tell the places that I messed up on. I think I will watch the videos one more time and see if I can see what I am doing wrong to make it not take shape!
I will blog about my crocheting again as I practice :)
