After reading a couple of books and watching countless instructional videos on YouTube, I was off. I struggled at the start because most people teach crochet for right handed people, and I am left handed...but I got it!
My first attempt...wobbly and loose, but the basic technique is there:
Shortly after getting the basics down I started to improve and moved onto simple projects....
My first infinity scarf:
My first hat - for Ashton. I made a little 'scarf' to match, although there isn't much to it.
I also made several Christmas ornaments - my favorite is this wreath, which I duplicated about a half dozen times. I also made a Christmas ornament ball to hang on the tree (so proud of learning the ball technique).
Finally a more serious infinity scarf. More serious because I worked hard to keep it 'just so', reworking it several times. I also used more yarn and this sucker is a beauty, if I do say so myself. Surprisingly this project only took me about 3 hours, even with several restarts - crochet really is fun and easy!
All folded up ready to be gifted.
Hat for Neela (with crochet flower). Can you believe this only took me an hour!
