It may seem odd to some, that in my twenty some odd years of
internet experience, I have yet to blog.
Sure, I’ve written and posted fan fiction in my teen years, but that’s
far from a blog. The time has come for
this to change. “Create a blog,” I was
told in class one day, “one about something you enjoy.” Of course there’s a much higher lesson to be
learned here. No assignment in an
entrepreneur class is just for the fun of it.
So, here I am blogging about something I enjoy; crochet. I’ve been crocheting for around seventeen
years now, and I’m still finding new stitches to lean and techniques to
use. What better way to help spread my
knowledge and solidify my new knowledge than sharing it on the World Wide Web.
The other day I went
into a craft store for a new afghan hook.
Sadly, at least for my wallet, I walked out with more than a hook. I came across two project books that were too
awesome to pass up. The first book that
caught my eyes was on Bavarian crochet.
This pattern looks like a square Catherine’s Wheel and is beautiful. It reminds me of the elegance found in antique
pieces. So, my next project shall be a
scarf from this pattern. This scarf will
be for sale on my Etsy shop once complete.
The second book that I found was a collection of 101
different stitches and edgings. I was
very excited to see the star stitch inside, seeing as that’s currently my
favorite stitch. I did find a fun pattern
stitch that would make an excellent rainbow blanket. I hope to have that complete by December.
Updates on projects with pictures will be posted at least
once a week. What projects is everyone
else working on?
You should check your step-mother's selection of craft books as well. You can't have 'em, but there are some good ones there that do extend beyond your basic granny square! That being said, all should know, Jennifer crochets better than said step-mother now, and I go to her for advice on the more advanced stuff!
