Hi Sweetie27.
I haven't crocheted in a few years, but I like it too. I went out to Walmart a few weeks ago and bought some yarn and plan on making a batch of scarves for my kids. I agree that doing it by hand can be time consuming and sometimes confusing (which is why I have a few unfinished projects

) but I guess I have to focus on that sense of accomplishment in completing a project. I wish you all the best in whatever you create.
