I've been trying to learn how to crochet. Precisely, I've been trying for almost 20 years. But now I'm actually making stuff! My first real crocheted creation is a dishrag. That's right, a double crocheted, baby girl pink dishrag complete with puffed stitched trim! Don't laugh. I used what I had, and made what I needed. And I did it myself!!!

Of course, when you are learning to crochet, and your toddler thinks it looks really fun...well, you can imagine what great lengths he'll go to in order to reach that crochet basket. I think I had to redo rows often enough that I could have made two of those dishrags. But, hey, I need the practice, right?
