New to this...

I'd just like to put out there that I am new, not just to crochet; but to the blog "thing" too.
So, that being said, I also change my mind A LOT so you may see the face of my blog change until
I am completely happy with it.  Hopefully not too many changes...hopefully.
(I wish we had emoticons on here...BOO!)

A SHOUT OUT-Crochet Geek Team

This has been SO helpful in me getting back into crochet...from being able to just do a chain
to making a lapghan.

I suggest, if you're just starting out.  DO NOT try to READ crochet instructions, it will just confuse you.
Start with videos, it makes learning a lot easier.

eggbird designs: Nuthatch [Free Pattern]

eggbird designs: Nuthatch [Free Pattern]
Above is a link for a VERY helpful Granny Square tutorial...
This will be the 1st of many links I hope to place on this blog...
I think if they help a beginner like me...they will help someone else.
Have fun!

UPDATE!!!
Here is a finished square of the Nuthatch, by me...
I did change it to fit my taste by doing two colors instead of four, but I like the way it turned out
and can't wait to see the finish blanket...not sure when that will be, still have to learn how to connect them.
Well, I started to connect them...for the first try it isn't so bad.  I will get better with practice. :D

If you are not a member...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!
This site is ADDICTIVE!

I have heard it described like this:
"It is like having everyone of your favorite magazines at your fingertips at ONE TIME"
Once you start "pin-ing" you won't be able to stop, trust me.
