Back in July of this year (2014) I was searching the net for a new project to keep me busy in my spare time when i wasnt at work. As i had to stop my cross stitching as i was getting frustrated with it and i was making mistake and was tempted to throw the whole lot out.
I then came across a youtube video of a tutorial and thought i may give this ago, So on the next payday i went out and bought some crochet yarn and some hooks, I now realise they were very tiny hooks and i used crochet yarn instead of just normal yarn.
Below are my first attempted as using crochet wool and just normal yarn.
I then decided i was using the wrong materials after looking at the videos, So i then bought myself some knitting yarn and found some bigger hooks and decided for the first go of just learning the basics from Single crochet, double crochet and triple crochet that i would make a scarf and just practice.
I then got the hang of it and finish my first scarf and i was really proud of myself.
I then went on to make a "Tigers" scarf inspired by their colour (NRL football team) for my Fiance.
I also found a tutorial for a granny square, so thought i would give them ago and see how i went, My first one turned out horrible but i kept at it and ended up making heaps. I then thought how much different would it be to make one out of the crochet wool i had and here is the difference.
It turned out to be so much smaller yet it was the exact same amount of rows and work done.
After getting the hang of granny squares i thought i would make a blanket of them and maybe used the colour changing skills i learnt from tigers scarf that i make and this is the process so far of the blanket, unfortuantly i have been distracted with alot of my other projects but it is Summer here and i wont need it for months.
In my next blog i will be showing pictures of my progess in making my first granny square inspired blanket for a my little pony blanket.
