January 10th, 2014 - How to crochet

Because I would rather spend my money on beer, going out with friends, and a wide assortment of nerdy distractions, I have become quite adept at sewing my own clothes.  I can reattach buttons that fly off the cuffs of sleeves.  I can repair hems that come undone from a misplaced foot shooting through a pant leg.  Holes in my socks? Not a problem.  Holes in my underwear...ok maybe I'll draw the line there and just buy new underwear.

But with that being said, I have never learned how to do more than the basic stuff that required only a small sewing kit.  So today, I asked Catie Morgan to show me how to undertake the art of crocheting.

Ok so maybe I'm not THAT good yet.  But I think that I have the skills now to attempt a basic scarf.  Check back at the end of the month to see my progress!


Other things that I learned/looked up:

1) Catie also showed me how to pour a bottle of wine without having that annoying drip run down the side of the bottle (it's all about the twist when you're finished pouring).
