Crocheting

Hey everyone! How's it going?

So a few years ago, my grandma taught me to knit. I recently taught myself the stocking version of it or whatever it's called... I'm not really good when it comes to the names of this kind of stuff...
Well, anyways, so I also wanted to learn to crochet. My other grandma tried teaching me, but being a little kid, I tried it, then lost interest almost instantly.
Now that I'm older, I decided to give it a try again. I watched videos on youtube, but never really learned the stitches and abbreviations, so I've never been able to follow patterns. I searched online, and found a few really cute patterns, so I decided to learn the stitches and abbreviations.
After reading a bit, I decided to read one of my patterns, a Free Spirit Amigurumi that I found on www.byhookbyhand.blogspot.com (there are a lot of adorable stuff on there), and I understood most of it, so I think I'm doing pretty good.
But right now I'm on vacation, and I didn't bring crochet thread or yarn or crochet hooks. I wanted to, but then I didn't. So I have to wait a few days before I home to start my first project.
I also wanted to try creating a few Disney characters, like the Disney Princesses, Despicable Me's minions, Brave's Merida, Phineas and Ferb's Perry the platypus, etc.
So I'm open to any suggestions you may have, like what kinds of yarn to use (where I live you don't really find any, so I buy when I leave the country), what size hooks to use, etc. And if you know where I can find free patterns, that would help a lot.

Thanks, guys!

Hello!

Hey guys! I'm trying this out, so sorry if it isn't perfect, I'm new to the the whole blog thing....

Anywho... I love doing crafts. I'm quite creative, and I really need a new hobby, so I'll post my ideas on here.
So....that's it...for now....
