My Mom has crocheted for years and although she doesn't do it very much she is really good. When I was younger she taught me how to crochet a simple chain and how to make coasters, I practiced a little at the time but never really did much with the knowledge, until now.
Last year when I went to New Hampshire I discovered that my friend actually spins her own yarn, she has spinning wheels (yes, like in Sleeping Beauty), she buys fiber and spins it then she knits wonderful things. Well, last year I wanted to but for some reason never actually did anything about it, not this year, this year I am inspired and I am going to make things! So I took the yarn that my friend gave me to bring home and signed on to Ravelry.com, found an easy project that I felt I could handle and went for it. Mine looks a little different than the original but not much and it is definitely recognizable as a jellyfish so I call it a win. Next I am going to make a spiderweb bookmark. I'll let you know how that turns out too.
