I’m learning to crochet. One Saturday at work, a lady sat down at my desk with me for an hour or so and showed me how to make a granny square and since then I’ve been hooked. The first thing I made was this very simple chain necklace. It uses a funky ribbon thread, but is incredibly easy to make. I liked it because it almost looked like rocks or seashells, but it’s a lightweight fabric.
I moved on from there to fingerless gloves. Here’s a sample:
Most recently I’ve been working on a hat. The pattern said it was for a newborn baby, but the more I worked on it, the more I could see that it was huge! It might even fit me. I think I used the wrong yarn. Oops. Oh well. I’ll try again.
I received some wonderful crochet books for Christmas. I can’t wait to start working on some of the projects in them, but they are still a little advanced for me.
I will give you money if you make me a pair of those gloves.
I was looking for fingerless-glove knitting patterns over the weekend, but if I’m realistic I realize that I can’t make them for myself if I’m ever going to finish any other projects (like my brother’s Christmas present that still isn’t finished).
Interested?
How about I make you some to go along with the birthday card I have for you, but never sent. What color yarn would you like?
ahhh! I don’t care! green? brown? redorangeyellowbluepurple? 🙂 whatever you think.
I’ve made one of two gloves for you, Sara. Hopefully I’ll get the other one done before I come to KC. I used a different pattern, and I think it’s pretty cute!
oh boy!!!
That necklace is freakin’ cool–it really does look like it’s made from seashells or rocks. I’m in disbelief that it is actually yarn. Way to go, Rach!
