How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Finding a free pattern that inspired me was the key point. I couldn't figure out some of the directions, but I went back to making a plain old granny square, and watched a few YouTube videos, and I was back on track.

I think I may not be a knitter, but crochet I can eventually get done.
