Crochet really isn't difficult. I learnt in my early twenties from a book designed for children. The great thing about books for children like this is that they assume absolutely no prior knowledge, whereas books for adults do, which is a bit of a non-starter if you don't.0

The marmalade is very good. Mr MWC is not best pleased though - I used an 18 year old single malt...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
