Turns out, very hard! Those of you that have read my previous post, I have been trying to learn to crochet.

Ha! If only these were mine! Im finding it sooooooo difficult! I've watched videos on youtube, had a friend show me what to do, yet the skill that is granny square-ing (?) fails me. This is my *ahem* fourth (ok, maybe fourteenth) effort...

| My effort at a granny square |
Ok, one thing you will notice is, ITS NOT A SQUARE!!!! Im getting increasingly frustrated at my granny squares looking like knotted wool, and a circle of knotted wool at that!! Oh well, I'll keep trying, the granny square will not beat me!
This is what I eventually want to make....
A bit ambitious maybe but the instructions say "easy". I beg to differ!
In other news, our summer holidays are still going well, no major catastrophes as yet (touch wood) and this is what we did yesterday...

| YUMM-MEE! Chocolate rice krispy splodges :) |

| My happy little chef |
We didnt have any paper cake cases but I can assure you our chocolate rice krispy cakes tasted just as scrummy! Plus Madison had loads of fun as she did most of it herself, I just helped melt the chocolate and get even-sized blobs. Lovely (but no good for my diet)!

p.s. any help on the granny square front would be very much appreciated! Thanks to everyone who emailed me last time I asked for advice, it helped me get to this stage x
