I recently walked into a craft store and watched a woman load a cart with twelve skeins of thin, dark navy blue "fuzz" yarn because it was on sale and felt soft. She told the cashier she was looking for a guide on How To Crochet A Blanket Beginner style for her first project. My heart sank because I knew exactly what her next forty-eight hours looked like. She was going to go home, struggle for six hours to find where her hook was supposed to go in that dark, hairy mess, drop half her stitches, and eventually shove the entire $140 investment into a closet where it will stay until she moves houses. This isn't just a hobby
