Crochet

I have been a little sick last weeks and to keep me busy I decided to try something I had never done before:  Crochet.

My problem is that I am a lefty and to find someone to teach me has been always very difficult. So I decided to learn and teach myself to crochet like a right handed person would do....I found some good tips and ideas on this page Crochet Pattern Central.
Another good website is Crochet Cabana

I tried the single, half double, double crochet. After a while I had made a big square...I didn't want to trow it away or just let it sit there (although you can see I made a lot of mistakes on the sides)
So I decided I could make a little bag...

This is how it came out:
Bolsito
I sewed a big orange button on it 
Happy Girl
My daughter loved it...
