My crochet virginity

-
My crochet cherry was popped! My first project was a scarf which I think is the best first project. I did a single crochet scarf with a J hook and added some fringe to the end. I didn't use a pattern I just kept going till it was the size I wanted. I used a multicolored yarn, I'm pretty sure it was Heart Saver brand. I regret going with the heart saver because it is not soft at all but still very pretty.

Dots and Dashes Bolero/Shrug

This is a super easy bolero/shrug that you can adjust to fit any size ! I love figuring out simple, fast and most of all easy patterns so I'm so excited to share this with you all! It is full of eyelets so it is light and airy, I love eyelets and I keep trying to figure out more fun ways to use them. Measuring: Figure out how far down your arm you want the shrug to go, measure from that spot across your shoulders to the same spot on your other arm. That is how wide you need to make your rectangle. Measure around your arm in that same spot, this will be how tall to make the rectangle. You may want to add a half inch for comfort and stretch. If your yarn is not one that gives easily or stretches than you may want to add 1 inch. If you follow this pattern exactly than your piece will be about 25 inches long and fit a teen or petite/small woman (around 100 lbs or less) . But you can make it in any size with adjustments. To adjust the size you want the number of chai...

Spider Web Slouchy Hat

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade right? Well I've been feeling a little sick this week so while I was letting my body rest I kept my mind and hands busy. I made 3 hats and 2 of them are my own creations. I will take some pictures of the other ones and post them asap. They came out really awesome, luckily when I'm just messing around I usually write down the steps just in case. Pretend that the ring is closed, I tried on the hat and took this before I finished off and it ended up being the best picture of it with my crappy camera. This hat would be good for a spring or summer hat. Who says hats are supposed to be "warm"? I recently was making Red Hearts free pattern for the Lighthearted top (It's hibernating right now) and a friend said that it looked like a spider web and that it looked really cool. I got to thinking that it would be cool to make a light airy beret with a web type pattern...and this hat was born! Crochetpatterncentra...

The "Fat Bag"...Even Fatter! My new favorite purse!

Ever since I first learned to crochet I have seen pictures of this awesome purse that I knew I wanted to make, unfortunately when I went to find the pattern I found a chart or instructions in a language I don't understand. Luckily after some searching I found  this great tutorial by Bend Beanies on how to make the "Fat Bag". Original design "Fat Bag" by Samanta Maragno CLICK on the image to make it bigger The chart is the original design, "Bend Beanies" edited the pattern by adding extra rows. The first one I made I made was according to Bend Beanies edits. I was happy with it but I personally like a very deep purse and I felt like my stuff was going to fall out of it if I bent down so I sat down and figured out how to make it the way I want it. I sketched it out and worked it up and I am extremely happy with the results. The first day I was wearing it I was at JoAnns and got complimented by some fellow crocheters in the yarn isle! One...
