Decide what you want to crochet (making a toy is very different to making a blanket) then find a beginner tutorial for making that single thing. Nothing else, and only buy hook/yarn for that. It’ll be bad! But the next one will be better. A finished object with flaws is still A Thing You Did!

This one is a mixture of two yarns, a solid orange and a variegated brown/yellow one.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! Was never on Twitter tbh but this looks so, so much better anyway.
