First Crochet Project Finished - Way Hay!

 

 

Way Hay, it's finished and it's a scarf if you haven't already guessed.  And Way Hay I am pleased with the results, isn't gorgeous.  Made the pattern up myself.  Crocheted it in half treble stitch and finished it off with a cluster edging.  This morning my little model won't wear it and kept taking it off, but it looks pretty good on her teddy.

 

 

Also blocked it out overnight, pinned it to a towel on a carpet and lightly sprayed it with water, helped to bring it back into shape.  My cast on edge was abit tight and it was taking it into a semi-circle.  Will next time cast on with less tension, suppose that's the way we learn.  Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?

 

 

Oh my, doesn't it look good on my little model, it suits her.  Looking forward to her wearing it out and about, one proud mum.   

My very first crochet project

I am a total beginner of crochet, but the other day fancied having a go.  My mother use to crochet and always said it was easier than knitting. Purchased this gorgeous bright pink Snuggly Tiny Tots DK wool.  It has multi-coloured wool bits mixed thorough it.

Had many practises with some older wool, almost gave up at one point, but kept at it until it looked ok.  If you are a complete beginner like me, take a look at mikey he makes it look so easy.  Couldn't wait to get started on the real thing, that beautiful yarn, so delicious it looks like sweets in a sweetshop. 

 

Look, it so pretty crocheted up, I am really pleased.  If I can do it anyone can.  It makes me giddy with excitement to get it finished.  Way hey it actually looks like crochet??? no big holes....

 

 

It's getting bigger by each row, i'll soon be out of wool.  To be honest I am hooked with it and can't put it down. 

 



 

Bigger and bigger.

 

 

 

It is so soft, my little girl touches it and says "pretty".  It is pretty, very pretty.   Any ideas what it is, well I'm not telling you yet until I've finished.  All will be shown really soon.
