Crocheting & Reading

Crocheting:

I finally learned how to crochet the bobble stitch. I don't know why I was scared to try, because it really is simple, as long as you know how to make a double crochet (dc) stitch. It is a little time consuming, though, since you are making 5 dc stitches for every bobble. But, it really is a fun stitch and looks really nice when finished. 

This little bobble project is the sunglasses case that I posted about last week. And, this is my neon yellow yarn, though you can't really tell how bright it is in this picture. Trust me, this yarn is bright! 

I'll be bobbling all weekend, so look for my neon case next week!

Reading:

I've been crocheting now for about 8 years, so I really felt odd checking out a learning to crochet book from the library, though I don't know why. Teach Yourself Visually Crochet is a fantastic book for both the beginner and even the advanced crocheter.

I'm a visual learner. I need to see exactly where to put the hook and how to wrap the yarn. This book is perfect! I learned the bobble stitch the first time I tried, and that never happens. I'll definitely be adding this book to my arts & crafts bookshelf. :)

If you have been wanting to learn to crochet, or have been struggling with the how to give this book a try. It worked for me!
