Crocheting is unquestionably not my specialty. If you asked me a week ago what it was all about, you would have gotten a blank stare, or a lame explanation like; well, it's the same as knitting less the needles have hooks at the end so it catches the yarn and loops into the opposite side. Yeah, pretty lame, eh? I am sure, if I was inclined to crochet I could find some extremely simple crochet for amateurs lessons out on the internet somewhere.
