I appreciate your kind comments on my crocheting, it's far from perfect, but you all have been so encouraging. I am going to try a new yarn tonight and a larger hook. I'm not done with the last one, but my mom thought I should just try the others out a bit to see what I prefer since I'm just starting. <BR/><BR/>I have not started my Austen audios yet, as I am still listening to another book right now. However, I think that the audios I got of those three books are all abridgements. I wish I could have gotten an unabridgement, but I just got what was available. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're feeling better!<BR/>Love,<BR/>April :0)Aprille Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421479613303572756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-8405649090058338762008-07-28T11:50:00.000-05:002008-07-28T11:50:00.000-05:00Oooh, pretty crochet April!

I can't tell you how excited I was that I was able to pick it up quickly. I thought that after I walked away from crocheting for a few hours I would come back and completely have forgotten everything. But it went well!<BR/><BR/>Misty, I think then that I will start with Pride and Prejudice! :0)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>April :0)Aprille Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421479613303572756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-43998144132736080192008-07-28T08:33:00.000-05:002008-07-28T08:33:00.000-05:00hey great job on the crochet-plus i think pride an...hey great job on the crochet-<BR/>plus i think pride and prejudice is the best but i am sure you will like them all.Misty Akridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401506267205603957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-38477656858946851112008-07-28T05:51:00.000-05:002008-07-28T05:51:00.000-05:00April, you are on my prayer list.The crochet looks...April, you are on my prayer list.<BR/>The crochet looks great...it is something I never learned to do.Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-11203865092781149382008-07-26T12:42:00.000-05:002008-07-26T12:42:00.000-05:00Hi Pamela!

She left me different textures too, like the kind of yarn you would use for a baby blanket, etc. I'm ready to switch to a different hook though. I think it was hard for me starting with this one, as it was one of the smaller hooks. I kept a couple of larger ones, and I think I will try the LARGEST one next as I work on getting my fingers in shape! I use my left hand for guitar, now my right hand for crocheting. Finally my hands will be balanced! LOL! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your encouragement Terri! <BR/>Love,<BR/>April :0)Aprille Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421479613303572756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-17027771291728709732008-07-25T19:40:00.000-05:002008-07-25T19:40:00.000-05:00Hi April,Your first attempt at crocheting looks wo...Hi April,<BR/><BR/>Your first attempt at crocheting looks wonderful! I love the colors. By the way, I've never ever read a Jane Austen book either, so you are not alone. :-)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813884721045918546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-16415844169450081702008-07-25T08:13:00.000-05:002008-07-25T08:13:00.000-05:00Michelle, Thank you!

I got stuck at the end of a row when I was doing the turnaround and couldn't find where to put the hook back in! <BR/><BR/>Miriam, You know I am pretty sure I read Pride and Prejudice in high school (at least the notes), I just can't remember for sure. So, that pretty much is like I didn't read it! Thank you for encouraging me! <BR/><BR/>Tracy, I want to watch the movies too, I've heard they're really good from different people. Thank you for your kind words about my crocheting! My mom brought me lots of yarn to "play with", all different types and colors, and she left me three different size hooks to practice with. I have a feeling that granny squares are a good ways off!!! :0)<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments everybody!<BR/>Love,<BR/>April :0)Aprille Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421479613303572756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-69091402158500616192008-07-25T01:49:00.000-05:002008-07-25T01:49:00.000-05:00Well, shoot me too.

My TBR pile is significant right now though.<BR/><BR/>Your crocheting looks fabulous. What exciting yarn you have there! You know, you have to start somewhere, don't you?! I love crocheting, but I've yet to master a granny square. Pfft. They are silly things LOL.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763397168274453281.post-66366751610950418382008-07-24T09:02:00.000-05:002008-07-24T09:02:00.000-05:00April, Yes, I am still praying for you.

I have only done a chain and a small circle(hint- I wasn't trying make a circle; lol).<BR/> I didn't read Jane Austen when I was in school. When my daughter was a teenager(we homeschooled) loved Austen's books and so we later watched the A&E's version of the movies. Love them!
