Project 1---(RESULTS)

THE ROSE PATTERN

Well, I have to say it turned out very nicely. The instructions were not to difficult to follow. I had a little trouble in the very beginning of this pattern. I think I wasn't supposed to skip and then do 2 dbl crochets in each space then ch 2 and repeat. It is exactly what I did. Of course that wasn't the instructions. (who knew) However, Rachel the poster of this pattern did give a link to help with the abbrevations, etc... So, guess what? I had to redo it. Once I completed the stitches in row three and rolled up as per the instructions. I was 'pleasantly' surprised. It was quite beautiful. I did have a little trouble with the leaves. I ended up making 4 of them because the first two did not fair well. They looked just awful. So, guess what? I redid them over. Still not happy with the way the leaves turned out. With a lot of practice on this pattern you could easily do this very quickly. It took me overall about 1 1/2 hours to complete this flower. Not to bad considering I had no idea what the heck I was doing...lol It was fun. (I'll post a picture of it as soon as my camera is up and going again. Happy crocheting..:) and thanks Rachel!

Project 1--Day 1 (Crochet-Rose)

Ok--I've selected a pattern. It looks simple--I will see about this! I will also post a picture of the item I complete. I will also, tell you the difficulty, "if any" with this pattern. Let the fun begin.

First thing.

Well, the first thing I did was put in a search on google for free crochet patterns. I came across this site that had a world of things listed on there. 'wow' . Now we have to pick something that is quick easy and not going to take a whole extreme amount of time.

The Start---Day 1

I am starting this blog just for kicks and giggles. Mostly for something to kill the empty hours of the day. Whatever the reason is; is still unclear. I am attempting to find patterns on the Internet that are completely free, and crochet them. 'Simple' right? Not! I have been crocheting for a very long time off and on, but never seem to finish anything. They either become extremely to difficult or they are very time consuming. I guess I would be considered an intermediate crochet person. I am definitely not advanced nor a beginner. However, I do have difficulties with stitches other than the basic: SC, DBL, Triple. So, there you have it. I will be finding as many patterns I can find. Reporting the difficulties of the pattern, and who or what helped me to overcome the difficulties. People say if you write about something, write about what is in your life. At the moment....not a whole lot. So, I am making this my life and lets see where it leads me. Life is all about exploring and learning new things-"Am I right?" Let's see where this road is going to lead us and maybe we can make some fun and interesting things. :)
