After Natalie recently found a dressy scarf for a Spirit Day at school,
I decided that I wanted to learn how to make my own dressy scarf =)
I'm a hands-on learner as opposed to trying to interpret an instruction book =)
Since my mom lives close and has crocheted countless projects over the years,
I knew she could be my resource!
The most time-consuming part of my project was choosing the purple (Angel Hair) yarn
from the huge selection at Jo-Ann Fabric!
My mom had the hook and helped me get started with my (double crochet) scarf.
Afterwards, I read that "successful crocheting is not about making
elaborate artful creations, it's a matter of confidence
in what you're doing, and how to figure out what to do
if things aren't going quite right."
I really enjoyed the quick project, and now I'm thinking that perhaps
I can learn another skill and create a project I've been dreaming of...
Oh wow! I'm so impressed! That turned out great! I' d still be crying in frustration, poring over the instruction booklet. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm also a little jealous to hear you mention JoAnns. We don't have one here, so I only get to treat myself when we go to visit my in-laws in DC.
I'm so impressed too. It looks beautiful and very stylish!
ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out! (I especially love the color! =D) I didn't know you wanted to learn to crochet. I know a nice simple crochet pattern for an afghan if you want me to show you sometime.
ReplyDeleteSo do you have a specific project in mind?
