As I mentioned previously I took a 3 week 'Beginning Crochet' class at Needlework Unlimited. The first week we learned how to chain, single, double, and half-double crochet. I practiced by making 5 washcloths and a scarf.




The next class I learned how to make granny squares which are now one of my favorite things! I've taken all of the scrap yarn I have around the house and I'm trying to make a pillow cover for the couch - pics of that coming soon.
The last week I learned how to read a pattern. I chose a slipper pattern from Ravelry and used some left-over yarn I had laying around.

I haven't finished the second slipper yet - but I'm half way done with it. Crochet is really fun and very different than knitting. I'm still knitting quite a bit, but crochet allows me to work with color and shape in a completely new way - I'm hooked! (ha, ha - get it? crochet hook?)

You are so talented! I heart your rainbow scarf- so brillant and beautiful!! Also, I took a granny square class 10 years ago and now have 12 squares- not enough for the blanket...perhaps 12 future potholders?
Also, I like those slippers. Feel free to make some for a Christmas or Birthday present!! :)
