Over the break, I taught myself to crochet

Feeling ill, I kept to my bed and for a whole day watched YouTube and created sample swatches. Then, I picked up my hook and created the beginning mandala from Sophie's world. as with any new skill, I pulled more than I have kept for this endeavor. the Mandala remains intact, and I created a new kitty bed with a folded side for support. that was teaching myself flat circles. so. new skill. I decided to learn to granny square, and now have a 4' by 4' square that I have to get more yarn for... my sister's gonna love it! I actually am using a hook equivalent to a size 13 needle... is that a L? I have no idea. 

I looked. Its actually an M.
