I have gotten a bee in my bonnett, tee hee, to crochet a beanie. My first several attempts have left me unralveling several times. I have been on this particular project for about a month. I thought that I could use the yarn I had on hand to complete my project. The problem with that was the pattern was a two yarn project, and I was using one color. Then my stitches were too tight. So I tried another pattern, but now I find out that it calls for an acrylic yarn, and I'm using an all cotton yarn which makes the piece smaller, and I have to make more rows. Well, what ever this thing turns out to be, it will be! I refuse to pull out those stiches again!! (Here's the result of the trial and error piece) I wound up giving it to a friend's daughter who just loves it!    
Now her brother wants one, but in boy colors!
With that said. I have been making the rounds on the internet, searching sites, joined a few. I even joined a knitting/crocheting group. I swore I wouldn't be one of those little old ladies in the corner knitting. Technically, I'm not, I'm crocheting. Big difference people. At least I tell myself that for now.
I am going to help those of you who feel the need as I have, to crochet. Here is a nice easy to understand video that help start you on your way. It is starting you off on the Single Crochet. You can find it on You Tube, but I got the link from Lion Brand in their Learning Center section.

And by the way, I have started knitting, sort of. More to come on that too. Enjoy the video tutorial.
