My 1st Crochet Project

[jbsegal]

A month or so ago, I got fed up about not knowing how to crochet - I'd know how to make a base chain for quite a while (it comes of having lots of rope that needs to be kept neatly when not in use. ;-) but I could NEVER figure out what came next.

As it happens, dancingdeer crochets so I asked her for a lesson or 2. After some work, my 1st Granny Square, random bits and pieces, and another lesson or 2, I had an idea for a project...something to make for kimberlogic...I went out, bought the yarn and hooks and a book, and started...working in secret, at nights, during the few quiet moments at work over the past month (while the office was moving), other random times...finally I finished it.

It's misshapen, funny looking, occasionally imperfect, and geeky as hell, but here it is:



Note: It's a sampler. From bottom to top: Herringbone Double, Singles and Doubles, Double Crochet Cluster Stitch I, Back And Front Loop Half Double, Crow's Foot Lattice, ..., Grit Stich 1, Forked Cluster and Catherine Wheel 1 (All from "The Harmony Guides Volume 6: 300 Crochet Stitches) and the heart is from http://members.aol.com/lffunt/chcoaster.htm


I'm really proud of it.

that's so cute! It would make a fun throw pillow- if it were sewed onto a fabric pillow that would keep its shape and not let the stuffing out.
