In an effort to save money these holidays, I have decided to make all the gifts this year. Pinterest has been a big help in coming up with ideas for people who appreciate home decor items. It also got me thinking about crocheting. I have been knitting for about eight years now. I never took it further than plain scarves, but last summer I learned to reverse stitch and started adding designs into my creations. Unfortunately, most of the fun ideas I find online involve crocheting, NOT knitting. So I decided to try. I'm too cheap to take a class and don't have to time to find someone to teach me. My impatience led me to teaching myself from a pamphlet I picked up at Michael's. I found a template for an easy scarf and spent about four hours making this monstrosity. As awful as it is I can't bring myself to unravel it or throw it away. Therefore, I have decided to give it to my mother as a washcloth. (One for cups or other dishes with small openings).
