I like crocheting!

I finally finished a crochet project that turned out pretty well.

*pats self on back

I am a brand new - baby, if you will - at crocheting. All I know how to do is make a slip knot on the hook, chain, single crochet, increase, decrease and stop.

I can change colors and decrease too, but I honestly don't know if I'm doing it correctly. I just kind of did what seemed logical to me from what I know of knitting.

Anyway, I have a half bath in which the decor has evolved quite organically. It began with a few similar looking birthday gifts I was given just before escrow closed on our house. The colors worked out to be brown and cream, with some burgundy thrown in.

I thought a nice and easy first crochet project would be a flat piece of fabric to place atop the toilet tank. I did that.....buuuuut....it got a little curvy. So obviously I wanted to try again.

And then I decided I should make a matching button-top hand towel. I like button-top hand towels because then my family members can pull it down and leave it on the counter. Ahem.

And into the bathroom we go....

Ack, the lighting!

The wall plaque up there was one of my gifts

I don't really have any instructions to impart since I'm so new at this. I totally winged it. What I can tell you is that I used cotton yarn and an H crochet hook. Yarn colors are country brown, cream and wine.

Basically, if you know how to crochet, I'm sure you could duplicate what I did if you wanted to. :-)

I'm just happy with myself for making something nice looking!
