A Wee Yarn

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!!
