I decided a good starting project in crochet would be to Knit-a-Square for AIDS orphans. (I am crocheting it, not knitting it, smarty!) So, I picked up some Red Heart Eco-ways recycled blend yarn. I figured going green while doing volunteer work is doubly-good karma, eh?
Unfortunately, I really hated using this yarn. It was so slippery! I am going to try a bamboo hook and see if that helps.
Anyway, I finished my project today and ended up with a rectangle. Can orphans use a rectangle? I kind of doubt it, since the squares are meant to all be sewn together to form a blanket. Tomorrow night is when I can turn this in, but I am not sure it is even worth it. I hate to toss out my work, but maybe it is just a lesson learned. I am not sure what I learned, though.
