I learned to crochet at the end of last summer and now have made so many potholders and washclothes for my family I've been told to stop :)
On Tuesday, I finished my first "big" crochet project - this purple shrug (I had only started it last October):
Of course, I was able to wear it on Tuesday because it was still in the 60s, but by Wednesday, it felt like 90 outside. I guess it will go into winter storage, but I'll have something cool to wear when autumn comes!

Anneliese is doing a new Learn to Crochet series and I found this awesome tutorial on her site for a baby cloche:
Granted, that was attempt number 4 above, but I finally got it! Numbers 1 and 2 had mistakes and looked like they were made for cone heads... my gauge on number 3 was totally messed up and almost fits my head... But it's all a learning process :)
