Something New and Hilariously Funny!

Long ago, when I was a wee girl, I used to crochet. This past holiday, I watched my friend, whip up a play egg and it inspired me to reconnect with a childhood "talent".

I went to my local hobby lobby and picked up some sale yarns and a learn how to crochet book/needle set. I set off learning once again how to make a chain, slip and single crochet stitch. All was well and then I challenged myself to do the round/tubular items. Just practicing here, nothing real important or something I will keep. I proceed to show my doubting husband, who thinks I have too much on my plate to fiddle with the needle, my practice pieces.

Here is the first one...


Not too bad, considering this is day two of possibly 1 hour practice.

Here is number 2....


This is what my husband says... "Look, mommy made a schmekle warmer"! For all of you who don't know Yiddish... it is the male member. Take another look.
