Phantastic Phildar

Phildar has just come out with a couple of new magazines. The knitting magazine (l'ete) is pretty good with a couple of really adorable tanks for summer. But the crochet magazine makes me want to learn crochet! Some of the items are really gorgeous. I wore this crochet top from Anthro for Easter and it got so many compliments. Gah! Everything keeps pointing to me learning crochet, including my mom giving me antique crochet needles from my grandma who recently passed away. She was huge into crochet and made us each like 10 afghans. So...hopefully when I finish my orangina there will be some crochet action going on around here.

Yay, let's learn crochet! :) I can do some (really, really basic) basics, but not much. I would feel like a fool if I tried to crochet something I could actually wear that would actually fit me. :) I'm thinking of getting Deb Stoller's new book as a reference.

I took a crochet class at my LYS - I did not catch on right away, but I am willing to give it another try ;) I have then new "Happy Hooker" book, and it has some good tutorials in it.

I think it is wonderful that you want to continue your grandmother's craft in this way!
