Failing better

I fully intended to spend today practicing my crochet and maybe even making my first granny square.  But I woke up this morning thinking about my 'M' and felt my conviction failing me.  Maybe I'd bitten off too much with the Merry Christmas project.  After all, I haven't a clue what I'm doing and the idea of cutting out thirteen more letters, stitching them and working out how to turn them inside out was suddenly quite a daunting prospect.  And I have three Rs to make.  Three Rs.  How am I going to do that?  How do you turn an R inside out?  (I know - these should be my biggest problems in life...)

So, there was nothing for it but to get on with it.  And this is the result.

I know.  Not an R, but not bad.  And it took only the morning rather than the day and a half the M took.  So I am learning.  Good.

And it's more or less the same size as the M.  I think they look quite sweet together.  (Even if I know I'll end up making two Ms when the time comes.

And as for the Rs, Mr. P came up with the obvious next step.  Do the easier letters first.

Crochet tomorrow.  Or not.  We'll see.
