Beginning Something New

I haven't been on here for quite some time, but I wanted to start back up again. Especially since I found a new hobby....crocheting. It's become so popular lately (not only among older people, lol), it's definitely coming back. So, anyway, I'd been wanting to try it; and on a trip to Walmart I found a kit for super cheap, I Taught Myself to Crochet. And, I got started on it. It came so easy to me, and once I started I couldn't stop. So, the first thing I did that very next day, once I got the stitches down, was to make a simple rectangle of afghan stitches to make my son two bracelets...

 

 

And then, using the pattern in that book for the Ruffled Skinny Scarf (since I paid for the book I won't post the pattern for free on here, sorry), I made a scarf for my mother (which my son wanted to model)....

 

 

And, that was the beginning of my crocheting adventure!!!
