My first non-scarf!

So yesterday I set out to make my first item that wasn't a scarf or a similarly shaped rectangular object! This is a very exciting and significant development in my new crocheting world. Perhaps I'm gaining some patience in my "old" age? (Don't tell my fiance I said that - he might hurt himself from laughing so hard)

So anyway, I started making a crochet hook caddy. It's this pattern on ravelry (aka Crochet Hook Caddy by Margret Willson published in Crochet Cafe Patterns May 2005). The first pro to the pattern was that it's super easy. The second was that there is only one "accessory" to add at the end, a button.

It's mostly done because I got so into it that I pretty much did nothing else yesterday. Then as soon as I needed to switch skeins, I realized I didn't have any more of that yarn at my place because my mom had given me the skein to "practice" on! Oh that was an awful feeling. Must get to Michael's right quick to get another! Yes, yes, I know - dye lot, dye lot, dye lot - but desperate times...

I'll let you know how it turns out!

Oh and don't forget to catch me on ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/people/KEarle

I just joined the other day, but from what I've seen so far it seems like a great site for knitters and crocheters. Very collaborative, community building, sharing, etc. There's a couple day waiting list to get invited, but it's definitely worth it!
