so many patterns for awesome stuff

That's my motivation. I think I'm leaning towards learning crotchet over knitting for now. I love that youtube has a lot of beginner videos.

I know, you can learn how to do just about anything on youtube, these days!

And once you do get into knitting, crocheting, etc; Ravelry.com is an awesome website to get TONS of free patterns, as well as those you have to purchase.... And it's also got a pretty fun community, too.

ooh, the Dr Who scarf is how I learned to knit

It's a great beginners project because once you are finished you will be so sick of garter stitch you just have to learn more complicated techniques The sweatervest I'm wearing in that photo was my second project.

Wow, that's so cool! I don't think I'm ready for that type of thing yet.... But you did a really great job, I like it lots!

Thanks for the tip with the site! I picked up the hooks and some yarn yesterday. When I can find the time to sit down and start will be a challenge.

I love those scarfs (even though I've never seen the show). It was a hard choice because you can knit/crotchet so many similar items.

That Dr. Who scarf looks great! Omg, I want one! =O

Learning to knit - or crochet more than various chain stitches - will have to wait, though. I finally purchased myself the sewing machine of my dreams - the Singer CG550 - and am waiting in breathless anticipation for it to arrive so I can start sewing. X3
