Catching up

I figure to get my blog started and to catch up on all of my activities, I will post a few things each day,
I started to crochet last year a little before Christmas. It was pretty rough at first, I kept increasing or decreasing stitches when I shouldn't and I couldn't seem to find a comfortable way to hold the yarn and hook. I've definitely gotten past that now and I am constantly crocheting. Here are a few of my very first crochet projects... the finished projects were pretty rough



I made this scarf for my friend bre, she got me started crocheting. The pattern was on a skein of yarn label
I made this pillow as a secret santa gift for my fiance's aunt. The pattern was improvised.

The next few photos are of a specific pattern my friends and I have been using to make Christmas stockings for our families. The beige and brown one was the first I did and is for my rabbit Trinket. The black and green is my fiance's, the camoflage one is my cat Bud's and the Black and white is for my dog, McFly. Still working on the rest of the family.


After these projects I kind of stopped crocheting a bit. I started a lot of projects but nothing ever panned out and I got bored quickly. Eventually I got really into and began crocheting on a daily basis. More to come.
