houseelfFall has definitely arrived. I'm sitting in my bedroom wearing a hoodie and seriously considering making my next project a pair of fingerless gloves to keep up here.
I took a crochet class last week at my LYS. It feels like I should know the basics even if I have no intention of taking it up as a main hobby. I started a granny square while I was there and promptly ripped it out when I got home. I have better uses for a full skein of yarn. I got the rest of my practice with the remains of a ball of some sort of kitchen cotton, and pawned the result off on my grandmother. She likes it.
It's inexpertly made, but I have the general idea now.
I finished the tree square that I mentioned last time. Weaving in the ends can wait until after it's blocked. Astute viewers will notice the mistake in the cable in the upper right. That was on purpose. It was not on purpose when I did the same thing on the lower left. I figure that symmetry should count for something.
The square:
