Sat and hooked next to my DH last night while we watched Jericho. He kept pestering me about how complicated hooking looks. I told him the husbandly commentary was what made hookin' so hard!
He didn't get it...

Awww....thanks guys.... *blushes*

There are a few things I've learned as a child that I'm really glad I stuck with

Crocheting
Sewing
Playing the Piano

My great Aunt taught me to crochet when I was 7 or 8 - I think just to shut me up. They were visiting us and she was making baby booties or something and I was facinated that you can take a long length of yarn and a little hook and MAKE something out of it. I don't think she thought I'd catch on so quickly, but I was making baby layette sets for extra money when I was in middle school. Looking back, I guess I was born to crochet as I've tried to teach kids that young as well as adults and what came so easy for me seems to be a challenge for others (especially reading the patterns LOL)

My mom and step mom both worked to teach me to sew. My step mom jokes that she wasn't sure she'd be around long after she had to tell me that my sewing skills weren't exactly 'professional' but she was glad I took her correction well and went on to learn how to cut patterns the RIGHT way.

I took piano lessons from 2nd grade up until graduation from high school - so glad I stuck with lessons, even though I wasn't always the most diligent student - I can sit down and play now, and play some for church, etc.

Anyway, I'm starting to think I should have picked a QUICKER pattern since we are approaching April quite quickly. On a good note, I do have 2 almost 3 finished now...

Arlee,
That is just the most beautiful pattern. When I get through the "required" squares, I will try it!!

Fascinating how we have a born talent in us, isn't it? Every picture of me from birth on has a horse in it. At 2, they put me on a pony, and thought it "ran away" with me (a pony ride on a small track), but I cried to make them let me do it again!!

My mother was a great seamstress, and tried to teach me, but I wanted to be outside with a horse. She made a lot of my riding jackets, and one I still wear!! When people compliment me on my jacket, I say, "Thanks, my Mother made it!!". Then DH says, "Tell them when"....

Got 30 squares done!! They are NOT fancy!
