I found this L ❤ VeLy pattern in a book in the library. Libraries are great places to find stitches and patterns.  I found books on how to make your own yarn, browsed them but one day imma give it a go. I like making things from Scratch IMAG0459

All great things begin small – Single Crochet

So I cracked the books, Handy Handy Super Dandy. Im glad I got them. I have no idea what I am doing. Oh my goodness am I ever a beginner when it comes to crochet. I followed a few pictures, guessing at the pictures (usually came out), did some improvised crochet amigurimi bunnies when I was 16. But honestly its been years and I only started this year with granny squares. Not really knowing any terms….now I know I knew none. Im going to post as I learn here, mostly as a hobby and a place to find out how to crochet. But not all by me. I kind of want to take you through the Journey  of crochet, and maybe since I bought the Needlecraft book, some embroidery and knitting and whatever else there is to do. I love crafts and love creating things, especially from scratch. If i could I’d have my own SHEEP =] but that’s alright.

I am attempting

 Peppermint TwistpepperminttwistAlthough I have no clue as to what I am doing. It looks lovely. I am Using Green and White Yarn, hoping to make a cellphone case but being a perfectionist too I just dont trust myself. Back to the basics, Here’s what Ive learned today;

SC – Single Crochet

Annie’s Catalog has a nice tutorial, popped up on Google.ca


Single Crochet called Double Crochet in the UK.

The Ultimate A-Z Companion to 1,001 Terms 


DC – Double Crochet 

Craft Yarn Council, picture tutorial

Crafty Holiday?

Some nice green and lovely white yarn.

not sure what i’d like to do, but one book, THE BIG BOOK OF CROCHET STITCHES

has so many stitches its beautiful. I am no expert, most likely a novice as I can only crochet simple stitches. Did learn star stitches though, will link the AMAZING tutorial i found and what my finished product looks like.

Personally my goal is to link a picture to each stitch in the book. 🙂

I Also picked up a book called The-Ultimate-Companion-Needlecraft-Terms

just gotta wait for them to come through on Kobo
