I took my girls to the fabric store on Saturday. They were picking out fabric to make Christmas gifts for each other. (They are making warm rice bags). The yarn section caught my eye. I know how to do very, very basic crocheting. My great-grandma crocheted a lot, she made afghans and stuffed animals and edged baby blankets, all the time, whenever she was sitting down she was crocheting.
I have been wanting a new winter scarf, but I didn’t want to spend the money, being that we are cutting back and not spending on extras. When I passed by all the yard I had to stop and look a little. I found this really pretty red yarn, it is so soft and I love the weave.
I bought it and all Sunday I crocheted on my new scarf. It isn’t anything fancy, I only know how to do the basic stitch, however it was so fun and relaxing to work on and there is a sense of pride knowing I made it. I finished it late Sunday night, all I need to do it add a fringe on the ends (I haven’t decided exactly what I am going to do) and it will be completely done.
Someday I will learn to do fancier work.
Is there anyone out there that can teach me??
I love to crochet. I made a couple of scraves last year for the kids. Maybe I will take your example and make one for myself this year. I would teach you the fancier stiff if you lived closer. Or you could fly out here for a lesson 🙂
I love to crochet. I know a few different styles. But I’m only good with things that stay square or rectangular. I can’t do round or mittens etc. But if you want a hot pad, an afghan, etc. I love it. hehe
Love the red, I bet it looks great on you.
*hugs*
I have always wanted to learn also!! I cant even do a basic stich.
I love to crochet, but I don’t have the patience for big projects. Scarves are just right 🙂
Very pretty color! I did the same thing crocheting myself a scarf. I love it! Quite warm, too. I made it extra long to wrap around my neck and drape around back. Yours is my story, too. My grandmother taught me the basic stitches, but I’ve tried a few others. What a fun thing to teach your girls – mine didn’t have the patience for it; but then again, they were teenagers at the time!
