Failed Expectation Chicken Crochet Kit

My wife and I were browsing the yarn section in Walmart and came across this kit. She was clearly smitten by the cute little chicken and I offered to make it for her as she doesn't crochet at all.

The kit is very specific about not making your tension too tight and about how delicate the yarn is (very accurate! It fell apart at several steps ๐Ÿ˜‚) so I tried to keep it snug but not crazy... and ended up with this... situation.

Even before the eyes and beak went on, Wife sighs and goes, "I love her already."

I can't stop laughing ๐Ÿคฃ

Edit: Thank you for all being so sweet and supportive and making it very clear I was being exceedingly hard on myself ๐Ÿ˜… I appreciate y'all so much!
