So it's going to cover from his feet to his knees. Maybe.
Dammit. Did I mess up feet and inch markers again? Stupid US measurements.
There's still something wonky in my granny square creation, but round 2 this evening went fairly smooth. I only ripped out maybe three stitches, and did the whole thing from memory/without a guide or pattern.
I can see why folks would do a square a day long term. You get far more finished product per minute with crocheting than with knitting. And that's as a complete noob in crochet and nominally comfortable in knitting.

I am really impressed that you could do that by memory.
It's super repetitive, once you've got your starting circle, it's pretty much just groups of 3.
I have made... a mouse! Well, most of a mouse, I ran out of yarn maybe three rows from the tip of the nose.
Either way. I made a thing, it exists in 3d space, from a written pattern that I followed!
The written pattern thing is the biggest win here, because there is a crap load of shorthand even in the most basic of crocheting patterns, none of which overlap with knitting which I can read better-ish.

Doggo blanket complete! It's for a Chihuahua, so it's not very big. About the same size as a cat bed.
I like the color choices.
Oh God y'all. I cannot draw. Like at all. It's bad.
I received a figure drawing book and sketch book for Christmas, and I'm trying to learn how to draw faces... And, ya, it'll be a while before any of these sketches make it on to this thread. I'm trying, and they are recognizable as human. But that's about it.
On the plus side, my square-a-day crochet project continues apace.
But holy crap. I really suck at drawing.

But with all the practice you had in Jackbox!
Faces are evil!
I actually finished this a few weeks ago, but forgot to post it.
I wanted to try making a larger crochet project and use up some yarn, so I found a simple enough infinity scarf/cowl pattern... And I think it worked. The colour in the picture doesn't do it justice. The middle is more silvery and the outer is darker purple with silver.
