Crochet learning update

Some might have already read it, but I'm working on learning how to crochet. As a little girl i have picked up a crochet hook maybe once or twice, but didn't get any further then making circles. Then somewhat over a year ago i tried again. Didn't get any further than this friendly little purple pea. hihi.
Since three times is a charm, I'm giving it another go. This time i even picked up a book to show me the basics from where i can go on and freestyle on my own. And since it's true that you have to start simple and work your way up to more complicated projects, I've started simple. Some sort of yellow egg warmer and a square creature of which a version was in the book shown as a pincushion.
i might be funny like that, but i can not stick pins in anything that has a face.

Currently i'm working on a couple of bunny friends. Not in the book. Ah... who needs a book anyway? Oh yeah, i remember, to learn. I'm getting there. Stay tuned for a next crochet update.

Oh I've just read that beyonce and jay-z bought a 40.000$ crochet chair! Wow that's a lot of money. It's made by a Dutchy, designer Marcel Wanders. My crochet 'skills' are nothing compared to his. The chair is gorgeous!

I love the look of your square creature, how adorable! Working from the bottom up...I think that's my problem, I have no patience always wanting to learn straight from the complicated stuff (with disappointing results usually).

That's exactly like me! But this time i'm serious. don't want to end up with yarn tied up in knots and call it crochet... i want to do it the right way, at least give it a change!
