My Latest Crochet Projects

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, my dear friend Katharine has been ever so kind to try to expand my knowledge in the crocheting realm.

With some work I think I may be getting somewhere and am slightly excited about it!

Last time I shared with you a baby hat I made with ear flaps... now I look at it and see so many flaws in it, not just the fact that it is big, but also the fact it seems a very awkward shape. It will have to do regardless, and I am still proud I made it. But with that thought I decided to make another hat with different yarn.

This time I used much thinner yarn made out of wool, cotton and a little bit of nylon.

Here is the result :

It came out much smaller than the other hat I made- which is good!!! So I am hoping it may fit a newborn's head... maybe? The good thing is it is stretchy so hopefully he won't grow out of it too soon either and it will accommodate our growing baby to be able to be worn longer! :)

The other thing I have been working on is socks. Now with this I had more trouble and personal issues with! The sock on the right is what I consider to be the perfect sock because, even though I started the bottom and finished the top part- Katharine did the heel.

Let me tell you I have attempted to duplicate this sock 3 maybe even 4 times! I started getting very frustrated and almost gave up. But didn't. I have no idea what I am doing different, don't even ask. But this is the closest I could get! Socks are not identical, but they will have to do

Nonetheless- these are my official fist socks ever! And if you squint your eyes and use your imagination good enough they can even be called cute! They just aren't perfect and I still need a lot of work with socks and may refrain myself from making anymore  any time soon. I got the whole hat thing very well, so I may continue to experiment with that and make different kinds of those.


As far as my blanket- I have been way too excited about making all these other new things that it has been slightly abandoned! I'm guilty I know. I need to finish it up ASAP so it can be an official done project and then I can continue making other things!

Regardless, these are my newest creations... although far from perfect I am already slightly a bit more smarter than I was several weeks ago about crocheting! SO I am happy!!!

Hopefully I can finish that blanket up soon already... and can show that off too!  Eventually...
