Crocheters?

[brittmk0922]

Any other crocheters out there? I did it for years, but haven't much in the last year or two, just been really busy with wedding planning, moving, change of job, etc.

I am now getting back to it (actually sitting here working on a clutch right now) and LOVING being able to do it, but I need some inspiration of fun patterns to try!

So... What are your favourite projects that you've done? Bonus points if you include pictures

Knitting intimidates me! As soon as we are talking more than one needle working on one stitch in one spot at a time I'm lost lol

These cute little guys are from Ravelry. I pinned them; can't wait to try them out!

The last big project I did was for a friend. She was planning her wedding outdoors in Oct and wanted a shawl to wear with her dress, in her wedding colour.

I still crochet even if knitting takes up most of my hobby time. I love making amigurumi

Beautiful! Nice work!

Thank you very much!

I've actually never heard of it! I will have to check it out!

Here's my sorely neglected rav page- you should really join, it's very inspiring. I much prefer to knit most of the time since I've learned how- it's really not any more difficult than crochet, and the two crafts go so well together. I make mostly baby and kid things, because I have little time and even less patience and concentration these days. :-p

Brittm, That shawl is beautiful!

I also crochet, making a Hobbes doll at the moment. I'll PIP when I finish this dudes face. He and I are having issues at the moment. LOL That's what I get for winging it.

It's really not that hard at all once you get started. You should definitely give it a shot.

I'm new to crocheting, but I really enjoy it! Sadly, no finished projects yet.

You MUST get on Ravelry if you're a yarn crafter. Zillions of patterns, reviews (of yarn, patterns, books, etc.), project queue, gallery of your finished projects with ability to note yarns/hooks/needles used, etc. It's a fantastic site.

This is really so true. My username is different on Ravelry, but feel free to search me (cmm71710). I crochet quite a bit and most of the projects I've made I loved.

[brittmk0922]

Home alone tomorrow night while my fiance is at a business meeting.... Sounds like the perfect evening to be checking this site out! Haha

[bluelikejazz]

Ditto Ravelry! Find me too! (I'm liz09 on Ravelry)

I do both crochet and knitting. I started with crochet, and then switched to knitting (I used youtube videos to learn) I've nearly switched completely to knitting because I generally like the finished product better. But I still crochet if I love the pattern.

[brittmk0922]

Alright, you guys have me hooked on Ravelry already. Just adding some projects to mine and then I will add all of you that have shared your usernames

I have the same name on there - BrittMK0922

[fasa]

I have just got back into crocheting. I'm 'hooked' . I have been really inspired by the colors and projects from the attic24 blog.

[broc]

I crochet, but mostly make it up as I go along. IDK why, I completely suck at counting and patterns, lol.

[charlatti]

I really enjoy crocheting, though it's been getting neglected for knitting lately. I'm may16 on Ravelry.

I bought and made this snowman pattern over christmas:

He turned out pretty cute, if not a little lopsided; it was my first project.

I'm working on a tradition granny square afghan now and it is slow going, my squares turned out smaller than I estimated! I probably should have gone around each square a few more times but I was being stubborn.

I've never been able to figure out the knitting thing, its TOTALLY over my head! As soon as there is more than one stitch going on I get all confused... and don't even TRY to add in a third needle! hahaha My aunt tried for all of maybe 10 min to show me what she was doing and I was beyond lost!
