When I was living here with mom and dad, job searching and waiting to start school, I was bored. I didn't have any friends, and I didn't have anything to do. So I thought that if I had something to occupy me, I would be less bored and lonely. I bought this kit, thinking that I could learn to crochet. Between the book and the animated instructions I found online, I got started. Sort of. Every time I started to try, something happened. I had to go somewhere, or do something. I got the hang of one concept before it got put away for the last time - a week before I started school.
I am back in school this week, and have lots to do . . . but I still have periods of boredom and loneliness. So yesterday I pulled my kit out of its hiding place. I don't have much . . . just a foot and a half of chain stitches. It was Lesson one. I started to get it, and that's when I put it all away. Just looking at it, and the illustrations for lessons two through ten, I am a little overwhelmed again.
Does anyone out there know how to crochet? Okay, Heather, I know that you can. . . . But I also know that you're really busy (and you just finished a crocheting marathon) so I wasn't going to ask you. How about anyone who wouldn't mind getting together sometime to help me learn? I am excited to learn something new . . . and I think it would be nice to be able to sit and watch tv or a movie - and then still have something productive when I'm done.
If anyone is willing, please let me know. Weekdays are best, but I can try to get together anytime. . . especially if you don't mind chillin' with the kiddos. There could also be lunch or dinner in it for anyone who tries to teach me!
That's all for now . . .
The boys are off to bed, and I'm going to sit and try!
Hope to hear from someone soon!
