I have a confession to make...

...I'm a hooker.

Yes, it's true.

Not the best one either, but my other crafts are worse.

For the benefit of my mom who is probably just about fainting now if she's reading this, I'm talking about crochet. ;-)

I've tried knitting on many occasions, and I can do it (sort of), and I *LOVE* how knitting looks, but for some reason my hands just don't get it.

It's funny, I know about as many people who say the same thing about crochet but know how to knit. I wonder what it is - are people either knitters or crocheters? Do you have to be extraordinarily talented to be good at both?

Anyway, I've joined Ravelry as one of the dark side (crocheters,LOL) and am now starting my first project: a diaper soaker - one that I had frogged (ripped out) last year as a knitted piece. It took me so long that Jeffrey outgrew the size before I was even half done.

If I get a chance, I'll upload a picture or two when there are a few more rows completed.

I love how when I take out yarn and any sort of tool - my girls smell it in the air and come running from all points of the house (you know, like from the 5 feet away they ALWAYS are??), grab their own yarn and start crafting. Poor Batty though, her little hands can't keep up with the other girls and she usually just starts winding yarn around her hand until it's purple. :-P I'll find something for her yet!
