OMG that link will have DH hiding my crochet hooks!!

Well done OP, once you start and it clicks it does become addictive. I love making toys for the kids and I am now trying my hand at jewellery by crocheting with wire.

Oh well done, I have just never grasped crochet! Tried again about 2 years ago, just did a few rows of some different stitches and that was it!
