Learning to crochet...

I have been wanting to learn for awhile...ever since my mother-in-law introduced me to Mias Landliv (an amazing blog) I've been itching to make some things that at least resemble some of the gorgeous things she makes. This first shot shows my second or third practice piece with single crochets, half doubles and doubles. It's not too bad...

However, if you check out the aforementioned blog you'll know that I wanted something a little more than the practice stitches. Below is my laughable first attempt at a granny square. I did some pretty major things wrong. But I studied it and and clarified the concept and construction in my mind. Then...
