April Day 4: Crochet basic training

I have decided to try my hand at crochet. I did a little bit in high school and made some hacky sacks but that was about it. Since that was 10 plus years ago (egad!) I am pretty much starting from scratch. The first few rows I did were rough and one of them was hooked into the wrong chain and I didn't bother to count my stitches. However I am starting to figure it out again. Just need to learn my basic stitches and practice practice practice. Oh and maybe get a bigger hook. I hear "H" size is good for beginners since it makes bigger loops.
