Since some people have no idea what crochet is, and no idea how to pronounce it. Crochet is using yarn and a hook to make chains and connect them with each other with yarn. It's pronounced cro-shay not cra-ch-et. It's a lot like knitting, but different (and more confusing to me).
Here's an example of my skill so far:
(excuse my face, it's difficult to take pictures on a webcam and use all my non-existent crochet skills)And here's what I hope to accomplish:
Wish me luck! I'm really going to need it...

I spent some time looking up how to do the most basic stitch, a chain stitch. I got very confused (even more so when I watched videos). To anyone out here who crochets, can somebody help me? I'm lost and confused like a puppy that is sitting on the side of the road all alone. I'm going to keep looking up tutorials, video and non-video and hope to be able to come to my next blog post with at least a chain stitch done!

Becca! I remember when we had difficulty finding out how to make that little string right there! However, I think you will get it in the end, and make an owl hat like a professional! I wonder what your weekly plans are to show your improvements. :) Are you making the owl hat as your FINAL goal, or are you going to make other crochet things, such as socks, gloves, etc.? So far so good, Becca! Good luck! P.S. Remember that I have some crochet kits if you need them!
