My new hobby

Crocheting is the best thing to happen to me. It's so much fun, it keeps me occupied (and sane), and reaps brilliant results. My first project is a scarf. That's cliche, I know, but it's simple enough to get me started.

As you can see from the photo. It's a cream color. It's a ribbed pattern that's just so lovely. I'm making it into a circle scarf, so it'll be very long and very wide, so it'll be massively huge when I wrap it around my neck.

I'm starting all my fall/winter projects now, so they'll be done and ready to wear by the time summer's over. I bought this beautiful carrot-colored yam today, as pictured, but I don't know what to make with it. Hopefully something will come to me, since I can't let this stunning color go to waste.

Here's the beginning of my scarf, an well as my carrot yarn:
