Since I have been doing crochet I've hunted for sites that inspire me and this is how I came upon Attic24. Lucy of Attic24 recently posted a project that got me off the couch and into a crocheting frenzy!

Lucy has posted a very comprehensive tutorial including excellent photos so even a beginner could do this one!

The project calls for Rowan Handknit cotton which I didn't have but I did have 1970's needlepoint wool yarns so I just went for it. The colors are definitely hippie funky and you can see the errors of my crochet but hey ...I'm happy!
