The beginning of my favorite hobby...
This was my very first finished crochet project. I checked out a how-to book about knit and crochet one summer from my university's library. Everything I made was impromptu projects that I threw together. First I made the scarf. I wanted to start small so I could get familiar with the different types of stitches. The hat was made from the pattern in the book. It was not bad for a first timer, but I didn't gauge the stitches so it fit my daughters head just fine. My head, not so much. The flower was also a pattern in the book that combined the different types of stitches to create a flower. It took a summer's worth of time for me to catch on, but now I crochet any free moment I have and there are not many of those in my life. I am excited to show you other things I have made and will make in the future. I do not sell my projects. I am happy to just give them away. I usually crochet things for family members as Christmas gifts.
