Getting the Hook Looping

After much consideration, I have chosen to take up the creative skill of crocheting. Just as I like sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee, I see this endeavor as one that will be very therapeutic. I also am hoping for success so to bring back a somewhat lost art (in my family, at least!). Being a lover of crafting, I know that this is something that I will enjoy. At this juncture in my life, I am thrilled to have an opportunity to take up a hobby that I would not make time for otherwise, and feel justified in doing so! I suppose I will start with the basics nestled in my mom's craft closet. As you can imagine, I have zero friends versed in this skill, so I plan to step out of my bubble by making a few phonecalls and also engage in the reading a few how-to's to get the ball rolling (or hook looping, rather)!
