preparations are made

I've photocopied the pattern, set aside the yarn, and located a size J crochet hook. Tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, I will learn to crochet.

Also, if I remember and it is cold enough, maybe I will wear my giant scarf.

Crochet is pretty fun.

When I was relearning it, I found making a sampler fun and helpful. But I think your attention span might be longer than mine.

This is the book I used:

Which I adapted to make http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n264/roboterri/ArtsyCraftsy/orangebabyafghan.jpg

After that, you might try afghan hook crochet, also known as tunisian crochet. It's like a cross between knitting and crochet.
