Just a beginner!!

I am just a beginner in the world of crochet!! Come to think of it, I am just a beginner in life!! Every day is new, every moment is fresh, every experience is unique! Like my hubby loves to say: Expect the unexpected!!! Life seems to spring up new surprises every day....likewise, the world of crochet is surprising me every day too!  The more I read about crochet, the more crochet projects I complete,  more do I realize that there is soooo much to learn still.  Initially I knew only the basic stitches of crochet; the chain stitch, the single crochet, the double crochet, the treble, slip stitch etc, and I thought I knew all there is to know about crochet. I was proud of myself for creating new patterns on my own, but when I saw other people's work, I realized that I am just a novice. Every time I see a new pattern, I wonder why did I not think about it myself!!!  Now that I have learnt and accepted that I am not using my creative cells to the fullest, I have decided to look out for more projects in crochet, try something new every time and in every project, and that is the only way to keep learning :)
