It might not look like you now, but I do think the userpic on this post is very cool.

Congrats on 33 lbs, and the exercise routine. That's great!

My mother tried to teach me to crochet (as she tried to teach me to play the piano, and make pie, and she was only successful with the pie), and I thought I couldn't learn, but one of my sisters had a book on it, and I picked it up right away. People learn in different ways, but it's just a matter of regaining your muscle memory of it.

Better than crocheting (I never have been able to learn to follow patterns) is the Knifty Knitter, which I'm able to do while watching TV. I really love it.

Congratulations on the great progress you're making!

So should I fly in for a weekend and do a crochet workshop with you? I need an excuse to do more flying before the end of the year to keep my status.

Keep it up!

Yay for treadmill TV!

Having fun...

Steve has a good point. These new skills need to be fun. I did not find it fun until I had mastered the first few stitches and identified a project. Then I learned to read the pattern...at least for my project. Doesn't seem like Greek at all anymore.

Take Hania up on the visit! Or, take a class. It is so much easier to combine a person and a reference. The person can help you through the rough spots and the reference will improve your technical skill.

This is a hands busy craft...doesn't go with eating or snacking. Each section, square or row is an accomplishment you can feel great about. Seems perfect for you right now.

Hope to be hooking with you at the new year! : )
