My first crochet project



Learning to crochet was one of those life altering decisions for me. My grandmother was very crafty and taught me to hand quilt and cross stitch. I always said I would have her teach me to crochet but I never did. So when she passed away I vowed that I was going to teach myself. This bag took me forever!! I bought this kit on clearance in the craft department and of course the instructions were awful. So I started searching the web for better instructions and videos. Luckily I found some or I never would have learned to crochet. I'm one of those "gotta see it" people as I "just don't get it" by using the written instructions. I gave up learning left handed though - since most of the instructions were right handed I just went with it. Much easier than trying to reverse everything. I gave this bag to my daughter and her CD player fits in it perfectly.
