Crochet Coasters!

What you'll need,

-yarn (cotton works best)
-crochet hook size G or H
-stitch marker or safety pin (you can also use a paperclip)

Make a slipknot, then chain 2

In the second chain (or first chain you made) , make 6 double crochets in the same stitch.

Make 2 double crochets in each stitch. You should have 12 stitches.
Make a single crochet, then insert the stitch marker.

In every other stitch make 2 double crochets. You should have 18 stitches.
After each row move the stitch marker to the last row you completed.
On each new row, you should skip one more stitch than the last one.
So, 3 single crochets, then 2 double crochets (in a single stitch)
Then, 4 single crochets, 2 double crochets (in a single stitch)
and so on, until you have reached your desired size.

Fasten off and trim ends, then voila! You have your very own, handmade coaster!

P.S. The sizes may vary some...I have yet to make two identical coasters!

Reading, reading

Hello, all!
I thought I'd share with you, what book I am reading right now.
I began The Chronicles of Narnia, last month and I have really been enjoying the series.
The fifth book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, is my favorite so far.

Even though I still have two books left, I would definitely say that this series is one of my all time favorites!
I've seen the movies, heard the tapes and loved them all, and now that I have finally read the books
I love and appreciate them all the more! C.S. Lewis has put so much into these wonderful stories, humor, adventure, mystery, suspense and much more. They inspire me to write more, and to write better, and create a story that would last, and be meaningful, just like he did.

So, if you're looking for a good story I would recommend, The Chronicles of Narnia.
