Hey! It's crochet!

Crochet!
Pattern borrowed from Through the Loops, and execution inspired by Turtlegirl.

It's the first thing I've crocheted in about 30 years. It's a two-sided coaster, made from Blue Sky Alpacas Skinny Dyed Cotton, in Coral, Sprout, and Glacier. It took about 3 hours, which included re-learning how to crochet. Obviously, I need a little improvement in the color-changing. I think I may go buy a crochet book tomorrow....

I love those things. If I used coasters I'd make some for myself.
