The Apprehensive Hooker

After a successful yoga mat bag-making enterprise, I thought it was safe to pick up the hook and crochet again. So I decided to make this scarf:Pattern from Berrocco.

Well, it's good to have dreams. Just trying to make the first medallion lead to a headache and a glimpse into Lovecraft-style madness. Crocheting is hard enough for a knitter, used as we are to linear progressions. But then the fine folks at Berrocco ask me to single crochet INTO yarn I've simply looped around my FINGERS, like it ain't no thing.

Reader, I did it, but I'm not sure I did the right thing. But here's what it looks so far, all 1.5 medallion's worth. Thank God I've got some socks to knit at the same time.
