Project Crochet Bag Beginning

Um, hello. Three months have passed since I last updated. I've been wasting a lot of time lately doing... nothing much. Facebook, game apps on my phone, watching movies. I came to the realization that I've been lazy as all heck lately and am trying to get out of the habit.

How? Projects!

I got a new crochet pattern book full of super cute ideas, some yarn, and a few new hooks and started on a new bag today.

I don't think I've ever crocheted anything so... 3-dimensional before. Obviously it's not done yet. The bottom is a circle and, well, I'm new to the whole crochet language (5 ch then 3 hdc in 3 ch sp... confusing, huh?), so it wasn't what it was supposed to be. At one point, I should have had 10 loops, but I had 15. Oops! But it's not really noticeable unless you reeeeeally examine it. The other part of the bag (the body?) was supposed to have this fancy pattern of random spaces and it looked pretty neat. However, since I wouldn't have even been able to get past the first row by following the pattern, I decided to just make it a double crochet the whole way up.

Unlike this picture, it is actually a really pretty mint green color. When I finish it, I'll probably crochet some little flowers or something to make it a little cuter and less plain. It's going a lot faster than I thought it would, though. I did all that in about three hours.

When I'm done with this project, I'll start another. Anything to keep me from wasting my life away.
