Yesterday, a friend that I taught to knit awhile back returned the favor by teaching me how to crochet. I’ve been wanting to learn how for a while, but couldn’t figure out on my own how to do it so that it actually looked good. Of course I had to rip out everything that I worked on yesterday after the tutorial and start afresh today, but I think that I’ve gotten the hang of it. I’m pleased at how even I’ve been able to get the stitches.
This project is also another first, the first thing that I have started to make for baby. It is going to be a pair of royal purple baby booties with little lime green toes and ankles. I’m going to felt them so that they are nice and warm for my winter baby. The nice thing I am finding about making baby stuff, as opposed to adult sizes, is that it goes so much quicker.
Miscellaneous fun stuff:
oh. my. gosh. this is SOOOO cute. the pic just touches me somehow. great colors… green was always Chris’s fave color, and purple was Carrie’s. and lime is one of my all time faves, too.
Very pretty colors! I love that purple and the choice of contrast. Have fun with it – I’m in the same boat with crocheting – perhaps I’ll have to learn some day.
