Ravelry roundup: A crochet resolution

My crochet skills are virtually nonexistent. 

But wait, you say -- didn't you make a crocheted Irish Lace Scarf? 

Well, yes, but only once.  That scarf was the crochet equivalent of memorizing lines in a language you don't know: it sounds okay, and you can fake it for a while, but you can't deviate from the script.

So, I want to get better.  It's hard, though, because many of the beginner patterns out there are a bit unappealing.  I want to skip past washcloths and go straight to fun scarves.  To that end, I've been keeping my eye out for covet-worthy beginning crochet projects.  Here are my favorites so far:

Touchdown Wristers fingerless gloves from Lion Brand Yarn

Time Out Cowl, also from Lion Brand

Calm Cowl by Twitchy

All good inspiration for a new skill, right?  Happy crocheting!
