Crochet: He's Evolving!

Well, Hubby has finally used up all the leftover Caron Camo yarn I gave him to "test" out crocheting.  He's finally evolved to using better yarn.  So, I have him my leftover Mystery 100% wool yarn.  And, look what he's done with it:

Now that he's finished with his camera lens cap project, he's ready to start on his next project: To make a camera bag/strap for one of his cameras (that has no lugs (and as such, no way to "strap" it onto him)).  He's been in a quandary about how to make it so, I recommended that we go to our local Barnes and Noble bookstore (well, it's really almost our only bookstore here now) to check out what crochet books they may carry.  He was really hesitant at first but, I told him it would be to simply get ideas and to see the possibilities out there.  Once there, he finally understood what I meant and went crazy over all the crochet stitchonaries.  He finally understood my obsession with knitting stitchonaires.  He said it was like his palate (finally) opened up! ;)  Now, he's on the hunt on which books he should pick up! :P  

Then, last night, we were at Nordstrom with our friend, A and she teasingly said I could make this for her:

Funnily enough, Hubby looked at it and identified that it was crochet and said that if he got good enough one day, he could try to make something like that! :P  It was so cute. :)  The funniest part was that I don't think anyone really understood what he said or meant except me. :P  Poor guy, I'm not sure if the rest of our fam gets that he's getting into his crocheting just as much as I am into my knitting! :P

I think he's really getting into this crocheting business! ;P
