crochet.

Based on the fact that I like the way crochet looks when it's finished and the notion that it is supposed to relax the participant, my dear mother (who calls it croTchet- already alarm bells should be ringing) decided to teach me how to do it. 

I still love the way it looks when its finished but I have managed to disprove the quite frankly ridiculous theory that it is relaxing in any way. I tense my shoulders the entire time I'm doing it and I also hold my breath - making me not only achey but also at risk of dying. 

Baring that in mind, please marvel at what I've achieved so far: 

I look forward to seeing my granny square grow and living a long and full life.
