First crochet

Well after many attempts I finally turned to you tube for some help! And with that help I finally finished my first crochet project - pretty sad really that it took me this long! Doesn't stop me feeling just a tad chuffed that I finally finished something.

Here's the you tube video I used for the help, without it I probably wouldn't have got anywhere:

These are my attempts:

Although one little trouble-maker tried to steal all my wool! She made a little nest after kneading it into submission!

Something that will probably keep me away from attempting my next crochet project is this awesome book my friend lent me called 'Mystery Man' by Bateman. Instead of studying or doing something practical I have been chuckling away at the antics of this crime bookshop owner who falls into the line of detective work when the agency next door suddenly shuts up shop for no apparent reason. It's a funny plot of someone way out of his depth with a very individual view on life.
