I crochet at meetings and when watching YouTube or tv. Keeps me productive, helps to decrease my smoking as I’m am wanting to quit, just not there yet.
I learn a lot on YouTube, such as patterns and counting stitches to make them, changing colors. I always have a project going, and all my family gets wedding gifts, baby gifts, Christmas gifts.
I recently bought a

Never thought I’d be able to do anything but single or double crochet blankets. When I figure out how, I’ll share some pics.
Love the wavey shell pattern and the virus shawl.

O, it was me trying to see if I had made enough squares for a queen sized blanket. Obviously not… lol.
I’m making my first quilt. It’s amazing how much more time and money I have now that I’m not drinking and this quilt is taking up quite a bit of both!
My dad passed about a year and a half ago and I saved his dress shirts with the idea to make a quilt out of them. Finally I have the energy and focus to make it happen!

It is on my device, but I click to use pic and only a link appears when I try to share it.
Oh wow this is very pretty! A shawl yes?
Lovely colour flow and shape! 
I love the colors. I have made it but yours is prettier!
I learned from this great book, Stitch and Bitch. It was very easy and I watched a bunch of videos too whenever I got stuck. Good luck! Yarn stores become the most beautiful thing very quickly…
I would like to know where a good start is for this activity having no exposure or experience on it. It seems like my cup of tea. I need some hobby to pick up aside from the norm.

Classic first projects for crocheting would be pot holders or coasters. For knitting I started, many moons ago, with a scarf, one left one right stitch. Search on YouTube for an introduction. Have fun!
