How to start?

I started this blog a while ago and have not posted because I am a little intimidated. But here it goes.

I am very excited right now about crocheting. I finally learned after my mom reminded me time and again that it was a family craft and I had to keep up the traditon. The picture is from my first completed project. I took a class at my local yarn shop and we used the Texture Tweed Clutch pattern from the Fall 2005 Interweave Knits magazine. I used the recommended yarn Tahki Donegal Tweed.

I am also in the middle of sewing a Burda 8407, a skirt that has gotten wonderful reviews everywhere. More on my progress later.

Well, I feel better. Maybe now the other posts will come easier...
