Progress: 7

Over Winter Break, Meaghan and I started working on Number 7: Learn to crochet or knit! We picked up a book at Tall Mouse titled "Stitch 'N Bitch: The Happy Hooker" and some of the necessary materials, and gave crocheting a shot. We started working on this on December 31, 2008 technically, but we're going to say we waited until the New Year (and therefore, the start date of our 101 in 1001 project). 

I'd have to say that so far we've been pretty successful! :) Meaghan finished both a scarf and a hat over break, but it took me a little longer to get the hang of it, so I'm still working on my scarf. My dad is not impressed...he took one look at me and said "my daughter, the grandma." :P

Crocheting is definitely a good conversation starter...I had a lot of people approach me in the airport and on the airplane asking me what I was making, how long I'd been crocheting, and other questions along those lines.

We both decided that we'd also like to learn how to knit before we count Number 7 as "Accomplished." So I'm labeling it as "In Progress" for now.

We need to accomplish approximately one thing per ten days, so I guess we're making decent progress on our list!
