The novice crochet chick

Got out for a bit, and dropped in Michael's to look at crochet yarn. Right inside the door, they had a display of Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn (dishcloth yumminess), and at 79 cents a piece (clearance--regularly $1.79), I got greedy and picked up seven of them. And the funny thing is, I never got past that display. Got the ones I wanted and checked out. Didn't even darken the store further back. Now that's self control!

This stuff is addictive. If I never progress in my crocheting any further, I have enjoyed making these small dishcloths. With the yarn being varigated, the surprise is in the end result. Like life, really. You never know how things will be until the last hurrah.

Now, must rest and read my book, the Elizabeth Buchan one. So enjoying it.
