New Craft

It has been a long time since I have posted. I've been quite busy with life among other things. I am learning to crochet now between homework and playing with my daughter. It is a blast. It is so rhythmic and relaxing for me. So far, I've made an iPod case, a hat for myself and a hat for my girl.

Now I am working on my wrist warmers. I'm following the suggestion of a few ladies from craftster.org and rather than crocheting them on the round, doing them as a rectangle and sewing up the side. It may not be the most sophisticated method, but for someone of my limited talents, it will do the trick.

I am working them in front post double crochet and back post double crochet to get a ribbed look. They are a very soft acrylic yarn and I hope to have at least one of them done by Monday. I've got to get quite a bit of studying done between now and then though. This one is about one half done. I can't wait be cozy when they are finished!
