Crochet Time!!!!

I decided that since I haven't crocheted anything since November, that it was time to break out the yarn......but I didn't have any just laying around, so I headed up to Michael's.

Michael's was very therapeutic with all of the Fall stuff already out (not so much the Christmas stuff, but the Fall stuff made me smile).

So here's my current project...a scarf for Sophia. Her current favorite color is blue. She was so excited when she got home and saw what I was making for her. She wanted me to finish it right away, but I assured her we have plenty of time until she'll need it. Definitely not the best yarn to start back with. Very slow going.

But it felt great to get some yarns on sale to have a "stash" on hand, just in case I get the sudden urge to crochet.

Seeing this would make Donna very happy, I just know it (she's the one who taught me how to crochet).

Crochet Tutorials

A friend of mine requested that I find a video tutorial because she wanted to learn to crochet. I found these 2 sites that seem to be pretty good and  are FREE! In fact, it's been so long since I've made anything, I may just need to check them out before I start a new project.

A Really Cute Scarf Pattern...if You Crochet

I get asked all the time, where did you get that scarf when Sophia wears her pink and purple scarf. And the answer is I made it. It really wasn't that hard. If you've been crocheting for a little while and know how to follow a pattern, then it will be easy.

I gave it to Sophia for Christmas when she was a year and half. She didn't really like it at first which really surprised me because it's super soft.

Russell loved it!

But later that winter, when she really needed a scarf, she finally decided she'd wear it.

It was a little long.

And eventually, she enjoyed wearing the hat too.

And this winter, she's still wearing and loving it.

 

I got the pattern here at Lion Brand.
