#flat things

assorted things for myself

i haven't even got a bed! i'm sleeping on an airbed and been living off of pot noodles and we're getting chinese later, i'm such a bad adult!

This time I decided to try to make a doily, since I've only ever crocheted one flat thing before.  But I quickly discovered that I had no idea what a "crochet space" is, and the gauge of my yarn was way off (Gauge?  Ain't nobody got time for that!).  After two hours of frustrated yarn-pulling, I scrapped the idea and decided to go for something easier instead: granny squares!  The granny square is apparently a common first project for beginning crocheters, but I'd never made one before, probably because I learned how to crochet from the internet, not my grandma.  Also, it was way harder than I expected, probably because I still didn't know what a crochet space is.  The first one I made is the one that looks kind of like a graham cracker.  I made the second, slightly more aesthetically appealing one just to prove that I could make a granny square that doesn't look like a graham cracker.
