What I've Been Up To

I have learned how to crochet. My friend Gwen, from work, had me come over and showed me how. I don't know how to read the patterns like I do in knitting, so I am only doing a small set of coasters in single crochet first. The top coaster still needs it's tassels added on.
I've made two of this litttle guy. I think I will make a set of 4 of these coasters to give away as a Bunco prize when I hostess in April.
This project I started after my cousin had come for a visit. She was so excited that I had learned how to knit. She saw the washcloths I had already done and said she liked doiles, that she would use those as doilies 'cuz they were too pretty to scrub with. So I tried a pattern out that looked more like a doily to me. It is pretty, but very thick with this cotten yarn, so I wanted to try something thinner.....
...and I ended up getting some crochet thread and knitting with it. It is very pretty and dainty so far. I looked at a book of crochet doily patterns and my head just spun trying to decipher.
Yesterday I also frogged a whole bunch of projects that I was not happy with. I had started a Bunny Blanket Buddy for Gwen (who is pregnant) and it's head was supposed to 'magically' open up for stuffing, but it was flat. A flat, ugly bunny head was too scary to gift to a newborn. I also scapped two dishcloths that I was not happy with. Anyway, that is my progress for the last month. Hopefully it won't be as long until my next post.
