So remember last year when I got all gung ho about knitting? I had all these projects that I wanted to do. What happened with that you ask? Well, not much. I did finish a head band and got about three quarters of the way through one leg warmer; then I got discouraged when I realized I still had another one to make.
Now I’m on to bigger and better things – crocheting. The problem I have with knitting is that I want results fast so I get worn out with the process. People have told me that crocheting is faster. I can only hope.

Yesterday I discovered the magnificent granny square. Now I can’t get enough. They are so cute, colorful, and cozy. I have no idea how to make them but I’m determined to figure it out. You’re probably all thinking I’m going to get through two squares and give up. Not this time. See–that’s the beauty of granny squares. I only have to make one square at a time. It seems much more manageable when all you think about is finishing a square and not the entire blanket.
If any of you know how to crochet I would love some tips, learning resources, and even a good (not too pricey) yarn to use. Basically I don’t know anything and would love your help.
