...I said banana?

I started crocheting/attempting to knit a few months ago and have become totally immersed in it. Totally. Completely. I have made several gifts and other fun stuff since I really started in about October 2010, and I love it! I've been looking at a bunch of others' yarnish blogs, and I wanted to join the club. I am going to try to show all of my projects from beginning to end as well as some helpful tips for beginners (which is actually me, so mostly it will be things I just found out about!). I hope it is fun and educational for everyone. Here goes nothing!
