[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Hi Naima.

Are you just starting out with crochet, or speaking of your first experience a while ago?  If you’re just starting, good for you!  It’s fun to learn a new craft.  And, if you’re experienced, I’ll probably be asking you and others for advice.  I know the basics, but not the fancier stitches.

Tracy

I bought my first skein of Bernat Blanket yarn and learned how to make a slip not in my beginner crochet class.

Henry, that’s a very good question.

I might try crocheting a granny square or two.  Or maybe crocheting a hat with an interesting pattern.  Or knitting a simple but interesting hat.  Or, I just bought a bundle of amigurumi yarn from Knitpicks, so I might crochet a gnome or leprechaun from patterns I just downloaded.  Or, I decided a while back to try knitting with laceweight yarn, and I have a couple interesting shawl patterns I downloaded, so I might tackle that. But, if I go for lacework, I’ll need something simple too for when I want something mindless.

I have a lot of choices, as you can see.

Tracy

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

 

I finished the sweater I’ve been working on since August!  Yay!  And it’s really nice.  If we had an Instagram, I’d post a picture. 

It’s the Lion Brand Tree of Life Cardigan pattern, with some modifications by me.  It has 2 intertwined trees on each side of the front, and I added a simpler tree pattern on the upper sleeves.  It’s chestnut-colored, a rich reddish-brown.  It fits great, and I think it will be cozy. 

I made it with Knitpicks High Desert Tweed, an all-American-made wool.  It’s really nice yarn. It’s smooth, doesn’t split easily, and firm but soft.

I’m really pleased with how my project came out.

Tracy
