Advanced Crocheting?! I think not!

Mandy on Mandipity did an entire series on how to crochet. I tried, and failed most. She did post this one though, about how to make a flower. I tried. It came out mediocre. You could tell what it was, but it was nothing to write home about. I also crocheted a basic circle. Same result. So now I had these two mediocre crocheted things with NOTHING to do with. So, I made a bracelet/corsage thingie.
I glued the circle on top of the flower, then glued a crystal button on top.

Simple elastic (used to make skirts and what not) used to make the wrist band

Whala!

Learning to Crochet

Everyone around blog land has been posting these tutorials about how to crochet. Well, I suck at it. I did figure out how to do the single stitch though, so I kind of went to town. I know there are mistakes so go easy on me. Im learning.
Scarf I made. I adore the colors.

Close up.

Blanket I started. Its curling though. It basically looks like a big rainbow. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am also making a baby blanket for my friend but because I already posted the paintings, I'll save the blanket and post it after she gets it.
