Hooked

Two weeks ago, some friends hosted a Tea and Crochet afternoon. I've been wanting to learn to crochet for a while, and was excited but nervous about learning how. Well, Kristen (by whom I sat) is a great teacher, Kathy (whom I've watched crochet for several years now) is a terrific example of what you can do with crochet. And I think it's safe to say I'm hooked!
