Cheap Craft: learn to crochet

So one of my favorite hobbies (and secret tricks) is the fact that I can crochet. Although I am only able to make scarves and potholders, i.e. things that can be made in a straight line, doing this activity provides me with an outlet when my mind starts to wander about other things, like shopping idly online. All you need is a hook, yarn, and some patience. You can get the supplies at Hobby Lobby for about $5. Here's a video to get you started. Have fun!
