A happy accident...

The other day I was attempting to crochet a flat circle without a pattern... Everything was fine until I got to the third or fourth row. I guess I added too many stitches and things started to go all skewampus... My flat circle didn't want to be a flat circle...

My flat circle started to bump up and I didn't have the heart to undo all that work so... My flat circle became my new yarn bag... 

I just kept adding row upon row and it just grew...OUT and not up... So, (you can see on the light blue row) I decreased every fifth double crochet and it finally started growing upwards... into a very fun yarn bag... 

I continued adding row after row, only decreasing one other time almost to the top... It was a good project that just took it's own direction... I love all the colors... As a beginner, I know I will have many projects that turn out like this... 

Now, I carry my little projects with me in this fun bag... I also found a tutorial on Pinterest that will show me how to create the flat circle affect I was attempting on my own. The only problem is the tutorial is in Norwegian! Good thing we have access to Google Translate! I might just figure the flat circle out, eventually...

So, now instead of a bright flat circle mat... I have a very cute yarn bag to tote all my projects around in... I think I like this happy accident...
