On a gorgeous Saturday morning, Lucy and I walked to a nearby school to register for a class. Here's my homework: get a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. Ok, I did that part. In less than a week, I'll find out if my generally-pretty-clueless hands can figure out what to do with them. Wish me luck! I really want to be able to create something out of yarn (you know, beyond pom-poms), but so far, my hands haven't cooperated. I'm nervous, but thrilled, too, at the opportunity.

Hang in there you haven't even started :)
YOu are so very talented at sewing, this should be a piece of cake!
Oh, thank you for the encouragement! Can you tell I'm kind of terrified?
Your hands have mad skills. Don't panic. You'll be great.
I see lots of chains in your future!
To explain: I don't know if they still do this or not, but when my Grandma learned to crochet (and hence when she taught me) you had to have a perfectly even chain stitch (the base stitch) before you could move on to anything else. More "modern" crochet teachers always laugh at me when I tell them this, but--even though I hardly ever crochet anymore--to this day my chain stitches are crazy-even!
