Learning new Crochet Technique and having fun

I started crocheting between Christmas and New Years Eve of 2009.  Last year or the year before my grandfather gave me crohooks that he made himself.  They are wonderful.  The other day I decided to try Tunisian or Afghan Crochet. 

So far after checking with a book, the internet, and my mom I am off and going.  I have made a couple 6" squares.  I have been making a lot of crocheted squares of late.  They all go into a box and make their way to a lady that puts them together with other peoples squares to make some beautiful afghans.  Those afghans then go to Pine Ridge Reservation.  There is a wonderful Ravelry group that I do this all through.  This month 99 squares went.  They were made by me, my chapter regent, and one by my roommate. 

I have so much fun doing these squares and now that I have learned a new technique even more fun.  In fact I am having so much fun I am having trouble pulling myself away to do other projects.  Projects such as the second sock in a pair, my holiday knitting for family and veterans.  I keep telling myself that I must take a break from the squares, but I keep getting lured back.
