learned to knit

Good Evening everyone,
I learned how to knit today. It took a while to learn how to do the knit stitch, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy.

Small crochet projects

Good Morning,
Since Thursday I have made a cheerful flower, valentine heart earrings, and a radiant flower.
The pattern for the Valentine earrings came out of Crochet Today, January/February 2011. The cheerful flower and radiant flower came from Art of Crochet by Tersea.

Pretty Flowers

Good Evening,

After a long day at work, I came home and started to crochet some small projects to help relax me. I made a ribbon flower and an eclipitic flower. A while back I tried to do the crochet ribbon flower, but had a hard time understanding how to do the chainless foundation. This afternoon I started watching the video and I caught on very fast with how to make the chainless foundation row. Do not be discouraged if it takes you more than once to understand how to do the chainless foundation or another stitch. Keep practing. Happy Crocheting. Have a great night.

Day off from work due to winter weather

Good Evening,

Today while I was home, due to bad winter weather, I decided to work on a couple of small crochet items. I made a mesh heart and a small star. The mesh heart took me fifteen minutes to make and the small star took me ten minutes. I love watching The Art of Crochet by Thersea because the instructions on the video are easy to follow and most of her videos have written patterns.

I will post the pictures of the items I crocheted later.
