With the onset of new motivations and new goals, I have taken up the art of crochet and knitting. I had decided upon crochet to begin with but was quickly then pulled into the direction of knitting. I have finished one scarf, on my way to finishing a second scarf which is a red raspberry knit but was then slowly beckoned back by the soft whispers of crochet. I am know completely in love with crochet and haven't touched my knitting needles in a very long time.
I love crochet because I can see how it works. I can follow a knitting pattern but I can shape crochet the way I want it to look and I can see it come to life. My first ever crochet was a little bird. I have to say that all my crochet is amigurumi. I don't think I will use crochet for things such as scarves, jumpers and other such things. But you never know. I am much preferring the hook to the two knitting needles but I like that with knitting I can do it anywhere ... whereas with crochet, I need just that little bit more concentration to count the rows and make sure I don't miss any stitches. I've written a few patterns on my own already, modifying some patterns I've seen and I think I can customize these little creatures a lot better than knitting.
Knitting confuses my brain a little bit.
But I'm so glad I picked up this hobby. I have quite a few other projects I want to continue with. I will still be making some fibreglass/sewing projects. With some that I won't be posting the progress images of as I have been sworn to secrecy. But...until then I'll post the little creatures I intend on creating.
This is the little Bluey I've just finished. He's adorable. He's a Stacey Trock design and it was thanks to her that I've been able to learn how to crochet so quickly. :)
And from now on, all of my sale items will be on my facebook page.
