Hi there! Just thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. I just started taking a crochet class at a local yarn warehouse a few weeks ago and I'm already an addict. The first project was a potholder, which I failed miserably at the first time around (I was increasing stitches because I forgot that the stitch on the hook doesn't count - now that I figured that out, my second one worked much better) and the second assignment, a drawstring bag crocheted in the round, worked much better. Tomorrow night we learn how to finish off the bag and start granny squares which I'm looking forward to.

Originally, my mother tried to teach me how to crochet granny squares a few years ago, but mine always looked more like "granny lumps" so I was disappointed and didn't try to continue. Then a few weeks ago, I heard an ad for this store's classes and decided to go for it. Just what I need - another crafting addiction!
