First Crochet Project

I can't knit. I've tried. I just can't get started on the second row. I can cast on like nothing else, but when it comes to working two needles and making the yarn stay in place... its impossible. I just cannot do it. period.

But, have no fear... I can crochet.

When I was a kid, my aunt taught me how to crochet a string... dang, I should know what its called, huh? oh well, the beginning string/line/whatever was all I could do back then. but now, with the help of an internet tutorial, I can do something.

Here is my first little project.

Actually, its not my first project. I started on a cellphone holder, but somewhere along the line, it got all curvy. I think I tightened the stitches too much. So I put that aside and began this one.

Its a pacman ghost. Its not what I set out to do. But then I didn't really have anything in mind. I didn't even have a pattern to follow. I just wanted to sink my teeth into something and this is what I came up with. I think its cute.

What do you think?

Well?
