I Crocheted

Last winter, I delved into the art of yarn work with mediocre (at best) results.  Now, I've decided to try it again!  But last time was knitting; this time I crocheted.  My sister, who is very good and fast at crocheting, taught me how and assured me it would be really easy.  Well...
Okay, so it was really easy, but it also took me about 16 hours to make.  16 hours.  For one scarf.  That still ended up being sort of crappy and also too short!  Knitters and crocheters of the world, I have so much respect for your patience and dedication!

On the plus side, though, I clearly improved my crocheting skills from beginning to end.  Check out my major improvement!
Thanks again, Sister, for teaching me!  Next, please teach me how to do it much, much faster.

    Think about doing a loser knit/loop. It should make it easier to go faster. Hope that helps. Good luck.

      That's what my sister told me to do! Also, something called double crocheting...or double stitching...or just different kinds of stitches? Anyway, thanks for the advice! Oh and hi, Corley :)

    i used to work with this woman who would take walks on her lunch break, and crochet WHILE she walked around the building. it was fascinating.
