I'm pretty pleased with this project and looking forward to my next. I think I learn a little more with each project accomplished. If you ever need any inspiration or just want to connect with others who crochet or knit, take a look at Ravelry. It's an online community of over 141,500 people who have come together to share ideas, techniques, patterns, etc., and to show pictures of their completed projects.
