30 Day Crochet Challenge: Day Six

Perhaps this challenge was too much for me? Gotten a little behind, so let's start with day six and I'll answer the others at the end.

 Day 6: What is your favorite piece that you’ve crocheted?

That feels really hard to say. It seems that I always am picking a new favorite with each pattern I complete.

 It's between these two. They were custom designs by me and some of my first attempts at crocheting my own patterns. The newsboy was for my news paper teacher and Prince Gumball was for a friend.

Day 3-5

Day 5: How long did it take from the time your learned how to crochet, to finish your first project?
  
Not long actually. I picked it up really quick and jumped into amigurumi immediately.

Day 4: How did you learn how to crochet?

I pretty much answered this in Day 1. 

Day 3: Do you have any other WIPs (works in progress)?

Don't remind me! xp

30 Day Crochet Challenge: Day Two

Day 2: What is currently on your hooks?

Nothing right now. I just finished a darling doll for a friend.

 However, I am going to get started on a Gunter doll this weekend!

30 Day Crochet Challenge- Day 1

Day 1: What was your first finished project?

When I was wanting to learn to crochet, I was left without a teacher. My Nana, who taught me to latch hook, tin punch, and candle wick, did not know how. My mom didn't know how. I was left to find a way of teaching myself.

Luckily, libraries exist.

In my high school library, I found Get Hooked:Simple Steps to Crochet Cool Stuff. It's geared toward the teen girl crowd, but I found it pretty helpful.

 It's the typical first projects type book. There's scarves, belts, small flowers, etc. There's a pretty cool skirt pattern in there.

I settled on doing a face scrubber pattern. It was basically a large circle of single crochet with a small loop for hanging. I did it in a pretty dark green that was not inspiring to face washing. It disappeared pretty quickly and I settled into doing more 3D type crochet.
