I did, however, try my hand at those soft coasters. My first shot (done with my blue practice yarn) was a lot more difficult than I expected. I already understood how to crochet "in the round", so I really expected it to be a cinch.
You can see that it's a little wonky. It's not quite round and there are some large holes that shouldn't be in there. I'm not sure if those were made because I may have missed a stitch or two, or what, but I will be paying attention when I try it again. I'm sure the lack of roundness comes from me crocheting at different tautness (your guess is as good as mine to whether that's a real word or not). Basically, sometimes I crochet smaller stitches and other times larger stitches. I really need to work on making them more uniform.
Incidentally, I became so frustrated with this soft coaster I ended up not trying it a second time. Instead, I attempted a pattern for a Flower Motif Applique.
The pattern for this (which I will post later, when I decide to tackle it again) was harder to read than the soft coaster, however I feel like it was easier to actually execute (despite being a skill level 2). I still need to make a trip to the store for some more yarn (as what I have is not suitable for the projects I want to try). Until then, though, I will try my hand at the soft coaster again. I'm hoping it will fare better this time.
