This isn't about scrapbooking, but I find that I really enjoy crocheting. It's fairly simple, and it's nice to be able to hold something in your hand that you made yourself. I make little things, such as a cellphone pouch thing for my sister and an eye glasses case for my mom. I started a purse for my mom, too. The stitches are fairly simple and easy to learn. It really boosts my self esteem to see that I am capable of making things that other people enjoy, appreciate, and even use.
The book I'm using is Hooked on Crochet by Candi Jensen, but I also look for patterns on line.
This was a good post! You've got me thinking... I might try making a scrapbook soon... Let me know if you wanna talk anymore about crochet
Best wishes!
