I Love to Crochet.

Like, I really do. I haven't gotten around to taking any pics of the things I've made, but they DO exist. Right now I'm in the process of making a hooded poncho. The problem is that there seem to be no decent crocheted hooded poncho patterns on the Internet, so I've had to improvise. The poncho part is awesome, but I'm having some trouble with the hood part. Apparently, everyone has patterns for hooded scarves, but there aren't many helpful "how to crochet a hood, JUST A HOOD" tips. I'm taking a break from it right now, but I'm definitely coming back later tonight AND I WILL FINISH IT. At some point, I'm gonna get around to taking pics of everything and showing the world. After that, I plan on trying to write my own pattern. It seems kinda hard though. However, my ultimate goal is to take up knitting! I tried to teach myself, but there were some things that came out wrong (such as knitting and purling in the same row), and I didn't have anyone around to help me because I'm not friends with or related to anyone that knows how to knit. Last week I signed up for a class at Jo-Ann's Fabrics that was supposed to be tomorrow night, but it was canceled due to lack of interest. So now I have to wait until next month for their next scheduled class, which will probably be canceled as well. At which point I'll have to wait until August, which will be my last chance.

There was no point to this post, but I needed to update because I have been AWOL for much too long.
