I've got a new hobby: Crochet! I saw a cowl that I wanted on Etsy, and I wanted to make it myself. I asked a friend who sews and knits and crochets to teach me how to make the cowl, so I'd have one for myself.

| The Cowl - with some help from Randi, even the button is home-made |
After I finished the cowl, I was surprised to find that I really like crochet and wanted to do more. The cowl is just a bunch of single crochet with a button hole (which, by the way, I was really impressed with myself for figuring out on my own), but I wanted something more fun and challenging...
 |
| Zig-Zag Scarf: I'm impressed with this one because the pattern labels itself as "Intermediate" difficulty level. |
After finishing the cowl, Randi taught me double crochet and how to read a pattern. I've been practicing double crochet with a couple patterns and I've already found some new things to be my next projects (and some of my next things are not scarves or cowls).
