When Better to Learn to Crochet?

Well, I'm off work today, but not in a happy way (despite the rhyming cadence of that sentence!). Injured by a student for the second time in two weeks. The good news is that neither student intended to hurt me. But this second incident reinjured my neck and back -- just when they were starting to heal!

On the up side, I now have an excuse for hosting Thankgiving weekend in a messy house!

Knitting in bed is one of the things I can do without increasing the pain, so I decided that crochet would probably work, too. And it does. Between this book and YouTube, I was able to figure out the basics. But, as you can see, the scarf is not in progress. I realized a couple inches into it that I had the wrong-sized hook. No wonder the scarf looked so narrow.

Hopefully my house-husband will have time to pick up a larger hook today.
