This is the first post of my blog. A blog to document my journey of crochet.
In January 2012, a friend taught me the basics of crochet. Starting me off with a granny square and moving on to Amigurami. I found the Amigurami didn't quite grab me. So I started to look up Youtube for some inspiration. That's where I discovered Mikey from The Crochet Crowd and his fantastic tutorials on every kind of crochet stitch imaginable. I was hooked! (pardon the pun! LOL)
Now almost two years on I am learning new things every week. I have discovered that it really matters what colour and type of yarn you are working with. I find if I don't like the yarn or the colour I loose interest almost immediately.
So I am hoping to document the things I am learning and the projects I complete along the way.
As it's getting chilly around here my current projects are stupidly easy cowls. I've been trying to use up what bits and pieces of DK wool I have lying about, but needing 3 strands for the chunky cowls and only having one ball of each colour was stopping me using them. Until I discovered the one ball three strand method yesterday. What a revelation it is!!
