About two years ago I first picked up a crochet hook and started to find my love for crocheting. My sister and I were home for Christmas break and we wanted to try a new craft. We both have always been very crafty but had never tried crochet, so we decided this would be a great new craft! We were very ambitious and decided that we would have a Harry Potter marathon and make blankets. Little did we know, but crocheting a blanket using a single crochet stitch takes a lot longer than a few Harry Potter movies for two crochet novices. Needless to say we did not finish those blankets but settled for scarfs.
Since that first crochet project I have learned a lot about crocheting, keep learning, and try to challenging myself with new projects. I taught myself how to crochet by watching countless youtube videos, and reading many blog posts about crochet. I am inspired by bloggers such as Sewrella, HopefullyHoney and All About Ami, just to name a few. I strive to have a blog that can provide quality information and patterns for crafters just like these blogs do.
Like I already said, I started off by crocheting blnaket...or really scarfs, and since then I have expanded my abilities. I have made many more blankets (for real this time), wash rags, pillows, baby blankets, etc.. Most recently I have been creating baby lovey blankets with amigurumi animals or dolls attached. I decided to challenge myself one night to make a amigurumi animal. I was nervous at first because I had never done anything like this before but it ended up turning out really well! I found a pattern on pinterest for a little lion. It took me a while to complete but eventually I made him! I was so excited to show my family what I had made the next morning! This creation inspired me to start making these crochet baby lovely blankets. They are so much fun to make and bring me such joy, knowing that a little one will soon cuddle up with it.
Here is a picture of my first finished baby blanket!! This little guy ended up going to a very special little kid named George, and I couldn't be more happy about it!
So please join me as I continue to explore the world of crochet! My first pattern will be up very soon!
