I did it! I did my first CH and SC! Thanks to mrsengeseth (and Diana's tutorial) I have learned to start :) I messed up at the very end and I see a mistake in the middle, but I have the general idea. I am going to try again :)

Yay!!!! :yippee: you can do it Melody, crochet is so much fun when you get the hang of it. Wish I were closer i could show you some neat things to do !

What is an SC? I wanna be excited for you, but I need to know what I am excited about!!!!:confused: :toothy:

lol Debbie! :D

SC is single crochet and CH is chain................

I forgot, WTG Melody! :fdance:

If you need any help, just ask. :)

WTG. That is great. My dad's mom use to crochet and when she passed away I took all her stuff. I really wish I could learn how to do it. Maybe one of these day's I'll sit down and try myself.

:smball:

wahoo! How awesome! I'm happy for you. We'll all be crocheting away. ;)

Diana is great at explaining things. I had many mistakes I was doing and she really walked me through and helped me a lot. Many thanks to you Dee.

I'm so excited so many of us are crocheting. More people to ask questions with and bounce ideas off of too. :)

Your welcome. :)

Now if I would just pick up some yarn and get crocheting too! :rolleyes:

I have TONS of yarn, just haven't decided what to make yet. I love the ripple pattern link you sent me Sara. I'm thinking I'll make a lap robe and give it to the chemo unit. You wouldn't believe how cold you get when you are receiving chemo! :eek:

Congratulations Mel.

Okay, I'm totally convinced.   I'm going into the city tomorrow and I'm going to pick up some wool, along with some crochet hooks and I'm going to try yet once again to do what everyone else is learning to do.   

WTG Melody! That is neat that you are learning to crochet. I don't know anything about it myself.

OK Mel! Now that I know what things mean I can really celebrate with you!!!! WTG!!!!:fdance: :rockon:

LOL Thanks everyone. It was fun. A little tricky at first, but I think I can do it. :)

CJ if I can do this, I know you can! :)

CJ, If I can do this...I definitely know you can.

I am intimidated by the way patterns read, but will get there slowly.

I see some of the projects and am so motivated in learning to do them.

The hardest part for me is just not knowing if I actually did the stitch right. I can't wait for my mom to visit to just show me some stitches and pinpoint any ongoing mistakes I am making.

I have a long way to go, but am having fun with it.

:clap: Wtg Mel! Love your I'm goona do it attitude.:thumb:
All you ladies are making me think about picking up the hook.:D
