Day 9 - 30 Day Challenge

Day 9: What fiber or yarn do you love working with?

I would prefer to work in a different fiber that I usually work in.  I work generally in acrylic mostly and sometimes cotton but would like to change to another fiber when it's more feasible.

Day 8: What’s your most challenging project?

Making bikinis or swimsuits to fit different sizes.  I am still working on getting the sizing right.  I have a couple figured out but I need to see if I can finally get the others figured out.

Day 7: Your least favourite?

My least favourite item was a bikini I made from the wrong materials! It went horribly! I don't even want to think about it.

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

Clothes and earrings are my favourite pieces.  I like new clothes so I'm always thinking about what can I crochet next.  I like to be able to layer using crochet clothing as the outerwear.  Earrings you can swap out.  I like the dreamcatcher style earrings the most but all my earrings.

Day 5: How long did it take from the time your learned how to crochet, to finish your first project?

 I am not sure.  It was a long time ago but I'm sure it took pretty long no matter what it was because crochet takes time to master.  In the beginning you have to remember HOW to do the stitches and so I would have to ask or look in a book and figure it out.  I can say that that takes quite a while to do in the beginning.  As you go on, you don't have to look as much.  

Sick but still trying!

The love of crochet never seems to die even when you are feeling rather sick!  I've been crocheting more than ever coz I've been laying down and can't do anything else.  I feel slow and I have to put down my project more often and maybe I wasn't reading too well but the fact remains, crochet still helped me through a rough period as it always has. 
The store has been growing and I am still putting together more items to show my diversity.  Hmmm!  Maybe that's another topic for another time.
Although this is short because I seem to have a really bad headache, I do hope you continue to stay tuned to my social media updates.  They may be slow in coming but I do update as much as I can. 

See ya!

30 Day Challenge - Day 4

Day 4: How did you learn how to crochet?

I learnt crochet from my mother with crochet thread and it was hard as everything is in the beginning. I kept crocheting this particular pattern until I ended up with a skinny long mesh triangle.  I didn't know I was supposed to stop at some point.

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

I am working on a crochet book cover.  My mother is also doing one but with a smaller hook.  I believe hers is going to look very intricate.  We are finding this cover very time consuming but it will look cute in the end and be worth it since it's very functional and I like the fact that it can be washed when dirty.  

I still have to finish the baby converse.  It's on hold for now.
