Cupcake Achieved
It took me about two hours, I’d say. That’s slow for someone who actually crochets well, but pretty darned good for me.
Most of the afternoon’s been spent playing with yarn and hooks. The good news is that I’m getting better at working the chain — I find it helps if I insert the hook in the first loop, then twist it around and sort of hook over the bottom loop, then twist again so the hook is facing up again. Somehow, that seems to be faster and more reliable for me than trying to slip under both the top loops in one go, or (as I usually wind up doing) trying to pry the second loop over the hook with my fingernails.
The bad news is that my fingers are a little sore, and I only just now remembered that Cindy had a photography show that was closing today, and I’d meant to go to the reception. Given that the reception was supposed to end right about, er, now, I suppose I’ve missed it. Oh dear.
That is so cool! Nice work.

Thanks! For a first project, I’m really pleased with it, despite some awkwardness in my execution. :-D
