Update: So I have a bit of honing to do. But I'll get there eventually. I'm actually thinking it will be nice to make my nephew-to-be a baby cap :D

Crochet!
I spoiled myself today and picked up a crochet needle and some yarn. More $$ than I would normally want to spend, but it will be nice to use my hands again on something crafty. I used to do cross-stitch and make bracelets with embroidery floss, so it seems crochet (pronounced: krow-shet) would be an appropriate next step. I also went to Wychwood Barns for the first time. The gourmetness of it all is above my pay-grade ($0/hr), but when I'm making money again maybe I"ll give it a real shot. At any rate, here's a photo of my first attempt at practicing my stitches. I found a really cool tutorial for a weave stitch. Once I get comfortable enough I'm totally going to try it out!

This is awesome!! Nice choice of colour too :)
So.... what's the diff between crocheting and knitting? 1 vs 2 needles?
Lookin' forward to seeing your progress!
Good question that I'm not 100% confident in answering. Crochet is just repetitive loop knots. If I were to take out the hook I could unravel the entire project by just tugging it. Of course you can unravel a knit sweater in a similar fashion, as Weezer taught us. I guess different patterns are easier to do on one or the other. Knitting can produce some really beautiful stitches (in my mind superior to crochet). Some fabrics you can knit but you can't crochet and vice versa. And yes, two needles vs one needle/hook.
