Crochet

Once upon a time I was perusing on Pinterest.com and I came across an awesome lego blanket.  It was then I decided it was time to try to learn to crochet.  I bought yarn, hooks of different sizes and set up my laptop.  YouTube was going to be my teacher.  And teach me it did.

I made this on my first night.  

Then I kept going.  It turns out I kind of like to crochet.  But it is really hard on my hands.  So I don't get to do it as much.  Here are a couple of other little projects I made.

I have made several other things as well, but I haven't made that blanket, yet.  I keep saying I'll get to it, but I love fast projects and that big blanket is anything but a quick project.  Someday...Someday!!

Here is my first real baby hat I've made.  I love this pattern.  This particular hat was given to my friend who is having a baby boy soon.  She loves it, too.  Yay!

(please excuse my model...I don't have a baby and even if I did I've never had a baby that had a normal sized head.)

It's too bad it is FULL of mistakes.  I don't think you can see the mistakes so easily when you weren't the one messing up.  I'm trying really hard to let go of perfection.

I hope I can keep crocheting (at the very least baby hats).  I really do enjoy it and I really like the end results.
