I had my first crochet lesson on Wednesday (Thank you Holly.) "Why crochet" you might ask? It is something that I have been contemplating doing for a while. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, tapestry and other sewing crafts are perfect for passing time (and also being productive) whilst crammed in that 21 inches of space you call your own on an aeroplane (and buses and trains). They keep the fingers busy, but don't require too much concentration. The problem is that the security regulations make it next-to impossible to bring needles onto the flight, so I decided to learn to crochet.
