round and round

I couldn't take my eyes of the beautiful projects in the old craft magazines i thrifted not too long ago.
Pretty obvious sign to me that i had to up my game and learn some additional crochet stitches. And lucky me, my favorite yarn was on special discount this week! Ooh, lots of colors!

These circles were certainly for practice. Can you pick out the one i started with? Yep. Top left corner. Ohoh reality check - i GOT to start counting my stitches better. And look at me go, i counted and it worked, the circles stayed flat. hehe, correct counts really work.

Except for the first one, the others will be turned in to round pillows.
But that's for a later date. I think i will make another!

They do take patience. I tend to pick up my crochet work when i'm watching tv and feeling quilty about wasting time!
The circles in the picture are quite large, i not yet timed it, i guess a couple of hours?
I will time it next time. Getting better also means getting faster!
