Crochet Crap

I located the Happy Reindeer and I was trying to work on him this weekend, but I was having the hardest time with it and I got so frustrated that I put it away.  Well…. I was just sitting here and it occurred to me, “am I doin’ it right?” So, I just watched a video online and it turns out that I was NOT doing a single crochet, but instead some sort of strange single/half-double crochet hybrid.  I don’t even know what I was thinking.  It’s been so long since I crocheted anything, I really should have looked up the instructions again before I attempted it.  Oops!  Will try again this weekend!!

p.s. this may be why my wine tote looks kind of strange too….
