Crocheting...Finally!

With aching fingers I am happy to report that I have finally gotten the hang of the single stitch crochet.
Much thanks to everyone who has tried to help me out and to a good friend who spent the better part if an afternoon patiently guiding me through it. I really needed to see it demonstrated and YouTube just wasn't working for me.
I knew I needed help when my first solo attempt came out in a circle! Quick to save face I said,"Here Savanna, I made you a bracelet."
Wayne was teasing me today that it took me half an hour to make a "Barbie scarf" (a piece about four inches long by an inch high). He told me at that rate I would have to charge about $40 for it. I reassured him that I was not planning to sell anything any time soon. After another hour and a half I showed him my "Barbie comforter". Progress may be slow but I'm just thrilled to be making something that actually looks like what it's supposed to. Maybe in a week I will actually have the scarf I planned to make for Savanna.
