I'm definitely a monkey see, monkey do-type person and unfortunately Christmas break wasn't long enough for me to glean from my mother-in-law's mad knitting/crocheting skills. Fortunately, the books she gave me teach to the lowest common denominator.

Here's my first attempt at making something functional. A washcloth. Maybe I'll make a uniform square next time.

I've really enjoyed learning something new, and while crocheting is new to me, it somehow reminds me of elementary school where my friend, Michelle, and I would sit at recess making scarves and bags from a square loom. I hope I'm not that awkward anymore. Thanks, Michelle, for staying my friend through all my weirdness. Oh gosh... remember SNEILAs? Oh gosh. Oh gosh. Who knew washcloths could be so embarrassing?!?
