#ThrowbackPatternThursday

Hello everyone! Taking my idea from last month with Donatello, I have decided to revisit another old pattern that I found when I was just learning to crochet.


These are "Pop Tart Cats." I made them for a feline loving friend four years ago for her birthday. Honestly, most of my crochet went to friends as gifts so you will be reading that story through out the #Throwback project.

They're cute and lovely, but their pastry needs some new filling. I decided to do something new this time around and give them more of that classic Pop Tart look. Think Nyan Cat, but no rainbows and song.

The first one I'm working on is "Oreo Cookie." The other one will be strawberry "flavored." I'm excited to see how these will look fresh from the toaster!

Have you gone back to redesign an old pattern, readers?

Happy hookin!

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
