It made me
Proud of myself
 "Funny and relaxing"
How I did it: I learned online with video tutorials I found on Next Stitch. My grandma would have thought me but she lives far away. :( I also found plenity of Amigurumi blogs providing free patterns. Lessons & tips: Start with amigurumi. It's a lot of fun! Resources: Next Stitch

Have you seen ‘how to crochet’ YouTube clips?? There’s so much speedy sleight of hand I gave up and went back to my knitting because that’s all the challenge I can handle right now :/

A crochet blanket is love
1 week ago
I love crochet blankets! You know someone put a lot of love into making one when you see one.
I guess it’s a pretty daggy thing to want to do, but crochet blankets are homely and I want to be able to make them for others.
I might hit mum up about it when I visit and see if she remembers how to ;)

- Got a great 250 crochet stitches book and a basic thin publication to help me read the patterns. So now I’m in the middle of crocheting a hat from a pattern and I’m working motifs and squares using the book. I was always daunted by the pattern reading – but now I’m feeling better about it.
I’d like to make lace to add to my clothing – and I’d also like to actually make a piece of clothing – some kind of top by crocheting it.

After my last entry this morning – i felt somewhat unsatisfied with the progress i made.
So i jumped right back on the band wagon and tried a different approach. I started crocheting in rounds…. AND I DID IT.
I haven’t finished yet, and it doesn’t really lay flat but i am going to make it HUUUUUGE!
I am so excited i gathered the gist of this and hopefully i can progress on to better things.

A new stitch!
1 week ago
I’m making a baby hat and booties for the friend of a friend’s baby shower, and the booties presented me with a stitch I’m unfamiliar with: the back post stitch, and front post stitch. The top of the bootie is a granny square, so I am SO thankful for all of those frustrating, irritating hours I spent trying to figure it out. My booties and hat are all in blue, and while the booties on the pattern page look girly, what I’m making looks just fine for the little boy she knows she’s having.
The hat is the same pattern I made for Shawn way back when, only it turned out a lot better. Of course, lol.
When I’m done, I’ll try and post photos for all interested.
