Work In Progress

I don't usually post projects that are in progress, but since there was so much interest in this post about me learning Tunisian Crochet, I decided to show you all how it is going.

I haven't quite had the time I would like to work on it, but it is coming along quite nicely and I think if I do a few more projects with this technique I will be pretty good at it. A special Thank You! goes out to Mary from Crocheting the Day Away for all of her tips, and of course the tutorial that made it possible for me to even attempt this crochet technique!

Once More, With Feeling

What's this? A new crochet hook and yarn? What ever could have caused this? I know I have blogged before about my complete inability to follow patterns and hence successfully crochet much, but I saw this awesome tutorial from Crocheting the Day Away on Pinterest and I figured since I had never tried Tunisian crochet before I would give it a try. It looks easy enough, and the tutorial is really good with lots of photos (my best friend in crochet world).

Doesn't that stitch look awesome? It's sort of a cross between knitting and crochet, I have never knitted in my life so I'll report back to you on how it goes. I was just too excited to share my project (hopefully a striped scarf) that I had to share so you could all try this out too if you feel the need.

UPDATE: Here is my work in progress!

I have to say, I am quite impressed with myself, just goes to show what an amazingly easy to follow tutorial this is, very well done Mary!!

Once again, Pinterest has proven itself to be a great source of inspiration and great tutorials. It really is an awesome site, and again if you want an invite shoot me an email (craftinomicon@gmail.com)and ask for an invite! :)
