my first ever successful crochet adventure

After a trip to Spotlight on saturday prompted me to rethink the possibility of learning how to crochet again ( yes, again) over numerous failed attempts over the years. Jen & i were shopping for craft materials when we saw ready made crochet flowers for sale at $1.39. Well, if i could make them myself, i wouldn't be buying them.. Nonetheless, those crochet flowers went straight into the shoppping basket without much of a thought.

Now, look ! A cute little shopping basket that i have crocheted using some cotton yarn. Even though the yarn was very splitty, it was still quite fun.
I poured through an old stitch n bitch crochet book and some graphic japanese craft books into order to achieve this. I can't seem to hold the yarn taut and hook at the same time without having some hiccups. Maybe i am just a girl who prefers two sticks to one.
Don't you think the colour of the basket reminds you of Smurf ?? To market to market, it seems like Gizmo is having some fun . Mo has agree to model all future miniature crochet items..YayPlease Mo, let us see what is inside your bag?

ooh it is a coconut candy !
Stay till for more crochet adventures

Till then,
I hope you all have a Safe & Happy New year:)

The teeny bag turned out cute, crocheting small items is really difficult so you did a good job :)
Happy New Year!
