since i obviously have nothing better to do i was wondering about picking up some crochet. i’ve done a little before and it strikes me as slightly easier to (re-)learn than knitting. this was sparked by a fab crochet bag on picture sunday. that will be way out of my league to start, but i wondered whether this might be easy enough.
