The other night my darling Mammacita was teaching me to crochet--I need to know how to attach those ruffles to Marilyn's Not So Shrunken Cardigan! During my lesson we had the following conversation, which I feel must be shared:
Amy: Oh my goodness! This is so easy! And fast! I think I am a crochet prodigy!
Alisha: I told you! It is the easiest thing ever.
Amy: Whee! Okay, and then I turn and stick the thingy in and loopy loop ... hrm. I think paying attention to tension might be important with this here crocheting business.
Alisha [patient instructor, probably rolling eyes]: Yes, keep it loose or there will be a lot of swearing later.
Amy: Hrm. Well, for awhile I think I was making a rectangle, but this is really more of a trapezoid. And I think maybe I missed a loop or two. This is not perfect. I better try again.
[repeat crochet trapezoid debacle n times]
Amy: Okay, maybe I'm not a crochet prodigy. But I am totally a knitting prodigy!
Alisha: Yeah, because you've only been practicing that for what, 10 years?
Amy: Well, still, PRODIGY.
