My Crochet Adventures + some awesome crochet tutorials!

I wrote a post a year or so ago about how excited I was to be FINALLY learning to crochet. Well I ended up just getting really frustrated and literally put it in the to hard basket. (I have a box where I put half done crafty projects… also know as the “one day” box) Well a few weeks ago I decided that giving up wasn’t good enough. I’m determined to learn to crochet, knit and sew on a sewing machine! (I know I’m like the only craft nut in the world that can’t do these super basic old schooly things.)

So first on that list is Crochet.

When I was learning the first time I jumped straight in the deep end trying to follow a pattern and make a floor cushion. To much for a beginner, apparently, so this time I’m starting with a scarf. If you follow me on instagram you’ll have seen my first attempt as a scarf. Here it is if you missed it. 😉

I think this was a single crochet stitch?

It got a little skinnier than I’d planned and I wasn’t super happy with it. I’ve since started a second one with a double crochet stitch. It’s now much softer and I think it will work better for the scarf I want to make. I want a nice soft cosy infinity scarf. 🙂 I’m sure you’ll see it’s progress pop up on Instagram soon. 🙂

There are so many awesome things you can make by crocheting! Here’s a few super cool tutorials I’ve seen recently…
