THere is a first for everything!

 

Here I go - a crochet hook, book for dummies and assorted yarn.
Some little person will get a little treat.
I only learned to do the ripple stitch and never adventured into the world of crochet.
The past few days I whipped this up in the shell stitch.
Who would have known that I could read the pattern and produce something without a load of mistakes??
