I have a confession to make…I (gulp)…I have an obsession with crocheting scarves. WHEW that was hard!
But, really, it’s an awesome hobby for long trips and watching television. It takes a little bit of effort and brain power (ugh, thinking? I know) to get started, but once you get the hang of it, your fingers turn into LIGHTNING. POW POW.
My momma first introduced me to crocheting when I was just a little princess. I explicitly remember the nasty green yarn that I used back in the day that I never actually completed anything with. It’s probably still around just to haunt me. *Shudder* It kinda reminds me of what Old Greg would have crocheted with. “I call this one…Old Greg. I call this one…Old Greg.”
*TIP ALERT* Make sure that you correctly count how many stitches you do per line in order to keep it even. If not, you’ll get messy waves instead of nice, pretty edges. Trust me. You want clean edges. No DIY disasters here!
I really need to start learning new patterns because I use the exact same one for everything. Here is the tutorial that I used about a year ago to refresh my memory (and learn a new stitch).
AND here are some shots of the ones that I have made whilst in college.
Is it time to graduate to something else like a blanket or a hat? No.
Don’t forget to join the army of Egg With Ketchup-ites…-ians…-ers. Ugh, I need help. Anyway, like me on le Facebook, join the email list, follow me on Bloglovin’, tweet me on le Twitter, and leave me a comment about your love for Old Greg (or anything else). I’d love to virtually hang with y’all.
xoxo,
Sarah Jeane
