I can crochet!

My mom taught me how to do the single crochet stitch and I was able to put a border around the baby washcloths I made. Yay!! :D

Soon, I need to go to Joann's to buy another skein of the pink and purple baby yarn I bought so I can get started on a baby blanket using the round loom.

I spent $30 of my $50 April allowance today at Michael's (I was out shopping with my mom)! :/ It's so easy to spend a bunch of money at craft stores. I'm gonna return some stuff sometime this week.

New looms and learning to crochet.

So, this morning, I tried knitting a baby washcloth on my small round loom, but I couldn't figure out how to cast on the stitches correctly. The directions told me to knit back and forth, but it was too confusing. So, I went out and bought a set of 5 looms. Included in the set is a large round loom, medium round loom, a flower loom, a small long loom, a hook, a needle and directions/patterns. It's by Knifty Knitter:

Tonight, after I feel satisfied with what I've done around the house, I am going to attempt to make a baby washcloth again.

Oh, I am also teaching myself to crochet, as of today. I've learned the chain stitch, so far, via You Tube. I also checked two "how to crochet" books out from the library. It seems easier than knitting, so far and I figured I should learn it since the loom knitting patterns use crocheting in the patterns.
