Oooh, why didn't I think of that?! I tend to go a little tight so maybe I will head to the craft store later and get a larger hook.

I just did a quick search for a crochet hook set--if you're going to try to crochet a bit, it may be a nice thing to have. They are inexpensive and will allow you to "play." Boye 6279 Aluminum Crochet Hook Set

That is really cheap, thanks! I have a size H and F right now, but I think having all the sizes will benefit me in the long run. I am going to keep up with this crocheting until I can master an afghan. Then it's on to knitting...

Pretty much all I do is kettle dying now. I use a pot on the stove, and it's totally less messy and I can leave it on the stove at low heat, walk away for a few, come back and see if the dye has been absorbed, etc.

I just realized almost all the wool I have is worsted weight and/or bulky weight. Anyone know where to get finer weight yarns and thread, but in large size skeins? I usually only see the finer weight yarns in smallish skeins..

I'll be making a cowl scarf or two in the next few weeks. It's 77 here today so I don't really feel I need to start wearing winter clothing just yet.
I wish I still lived in WI; a chunky hooded cowl would be so cute.

This is really nice! I'm digging the color combination. 
I'm not sure.. I guess anything from lace weight yarns to bedspread weight thread. I'm not even that good crocheting with worsted weight yet, but I always wind up buying those since they come in giant sizes (thing Lb of Love type yarn).

The only places that I have found truly decent lace/fingering/sock yarns are at local yarn shops. They do come in larger skeins, but they also cost a bit more than what you'd find at a JoAnn's or Michaels. You can find some smaller weight yarn at thos stores, but it will be the smaller skeins/balls.
You might also want to try etsy, as there are a TON of yarns out there, again, might be more $$ because of the fiber, or because they are handspun, etc.
I am going to assume you've checked out the Lion Brand site? They have a bunch of different yarns/weights, along with patterns. Ravelry might also have some great suggestions if you do a "stash" or yarn search.

I LOVE that! So pretty.
Scrills I have the same kind of display and I have found (for me) that our stuff started looking better when the display had a shirt on. But I have bad lighting in my house so that might be why. I think your shots of that scarf look great. I'm jealous that I can't quite seem to capture our stuff like that

Here is the only pattern I ever followed (although I used bigger needles). It was super easy and I love how the cowl turned out.

I have 4 balls of Lion Brand Landscapes (super bulky) and am looking for a quick, easy beret pattern to knit or crochet.
I came across this, it looks easy but I hope I don't get confused by the directions. I also hope I have both sizes of needles (sigh)

Love them Scrills!
Do you know of a good place to get patterns for winter hats?
