Hi everyone. I'm very soon to be 27 years old and I just recently came back to crochet. My grandmother taught me how when I was little but I hadn't made anything since I was about 8. Within the past month I decided I wanted to learn again and started buying a ton of books. I've completed 2 projects so far (a scarf and a shawl.) I' loving it so far. I'm getting very excited. I've started to crochet a few squares trying to get gauge measurement down and I'm finding it very difficult. Any tips? I'm also going to see about joining in on a crochet a-long because I would like to work on something that others are doing as well to see if I'm doing it correctly. Wish me luck with my new hobby.
