Crochet!

I learnt to crochet before I learnt to knit, but never got very far with it.  However, I was challenged recently to try some crochet again, at least that's how I took it, and this was the result.

Eventually.

What do you call a polygon with five-and-a-half sides? I don't know either but I made one, and that was the second attempt.  Anyway, after two weeks, much ripping (with appropriate language) and a short sojourn in hospital (unrelated), I finally managed to produce a decent looking tortoise, with which I am quite chuffed.

I am now back to knitting thank goodness, but I suspect I will be crocheting again soon.
