Why I Crochet

So why did I choose crochet? There are a few reasons. First it was a more general I decided that I needed a hobby, something to keep me away from being on the computer for 6 hours a day, especially since what I was doing was of absolutely no consequence. I knew playing an instrument wasn't an option, but that I wanted something tactile. Then I saw the book Creepy Cute Crochet, and the thought of being able to make a little Cthullu made me very happy. Then I remembered that my grandmother crocheted - it was only afghans - but still it would make for a connection that I would enjoy. Plus in theory it wouldn't be a too expensive hobby as there is always cheap yarn out there. I bought a horrible learn crochet book, and started to pull it together. And it turns out that it was something I took to rather well. The funny thing is that I'm now like 6 months into my hobby and have yet to even try to make the Cthullu (though I do have a sad looking Nosferatu sitting on our dresser).
