Here are a few pictures of my first crochet pieces and yarn I can practice with:
Here is an upclose picture of my first crochet piece. You can see I am using the increasing/decreasing techniques here. (Note: I didn't even realize I was doing this.) After practicing a few more rows, I realized I was counting the stitches wrong, so I was able to correct it and learn how to "increase" my rows.
I bought three extra balls of yarn at the dollar store, and started to crochet a flower using the yellow yarn.
Next project: an Amigurumi doll! I know- I just can't wait to learn how to make them. I figure I the stitching for the doll is usually the basic stitch so I don't need to learn the advanced ones yet, unless I plan to make sweaters/clothing/etc.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your link, your friend who does kawaii is really talented! I wish I could make crafts like her. But I am trying! :)
I got my yarn at a local crafts store, but sometimes they have these a dollar store. I particularly like Joann.com because you can purchase them online too.
You can also purchase clay at a crafts store. I purchased the polymer clay or oven bake clay from the Sculpey brand.
