Since it was requested, here's the awesome hat CrochetChick made that I had won as a giveaway. My s/o has been rocking it pretty much non-stop and loves it! Thanks again!

So much cool stuff ^^ I'm looking to learn crocheting myself, I already do a lot of knitting. Do you know a good site to learn? What type of item should I start with, a hat maybe?

Youtube is a great resource for viewing how to hold a hook and yarn as well as viewing stitches. Ravelry.com is a great free site with TONS of free and paid patterns, photos, and just...so much stuff!

I would say a hat or a scarf would be a great beginner project. Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have. Laina, Cohh's wife, knits and would probably be able to answer lots of knitting questions. :)

Awesome thanks, I get all my knitting projects from ravelry, so will have to look for some nice crochet patterns there. I've knitted so many scarfs now (entire family seems to have one from me lol) that I might go for a crocheted hat, the bf can always use a hat!

I've added an album to my facebook page so that people who want to can add photos of themselves in their Crafted By Tasha gear. :D
