I'm sure the woman at the yarn store meant well but, no, mohair isn't for the crochet novice. Also, she certainly had someone else in mind when she saying 'it won't take more than a couple of hours' to crochet a scarf. Because it's been three hours and I'm still sorting the slip knot and how to chain.

@dianalizia@writing.exchange Oh my giddy aunt this is seriously bad advice. Mohair for crochet? I'm a very experienced crafter and I just wouldn't use mohair for anything but knitting. I don't believe that this lady made anything in her life because a couple of hours is totally hogwash, unless you use the biggest ever hook with rope-like yarn, maybe... Please don't be discouraged, I hope you find crocheting itself fun and relaxing. A couple of hours is not achievable, not even for me and I've crafted 40+ years
