I've been crocheting for exactly a week — here's my first project, it's a slouchy hat, which my middle girl borrowed and then forgot to give back, accidentally on purpose — and I've crocheted a total of six hats, two of which don't really count, because they were either too big or too small and I had to unravel the whole gosh-darned thing, but I didn't realize that they didn't fit until I was finished crocheting them, so I guess they really do count, right?!?
Ugh, this using both hands at the same time thing…to make something that someone would actually wear…and then have to explain it…without the use of run-on sentences or too many commas…is REAL hard…yo.
Anyhow, crafting is the perfect winter-blues-breaker (okay, I realize we're not even into winter yet, but I already miss the beach!) and I am really enjoying keeping my hands busy (and more importantly, out of the potato chip bag), but I was beginning to get all hat-ted out.
So I decided to try my hand at actual making a match-y, match-y infinity scarf, using both hands and everything!
Here's the thing, I know how to do two stitches: single-crochet and double-crochet.
The entire scraf is stiched in double-crocheted: in as many rows as I felt long enough (i.e. put it on without strangling myself) before stitching the two ends together in a single-crochet.
I went around the entire scarf with a single-crochet to give it a more finished look: but you don't have to do this, as it would have looked perfectly fine and sort of cool with a rough edge, too.
This week's project: I'm going to attempt to crochet another infinity scarf, one that isn't as warm and toasty as this one, using a lighter gauge yarn, so that it could be worn when it's not so cold outside, too.
Bonus gnarly-rad-techy-type stuff you could do with Typepad (upload a gif in file manager, save link and embed in your post): I back all my pics up on Google, which has this cool new enhancement, which turned this photo into a gif that makes it look like it's actually snowing in my house…COOL!!!…but it's not really snowing in my house, because that would be bad.
[knocking on wood, until knuckles bleed]
Happy crocheting!

I want to talk about how awesome your crocheting is….but I’m too distracted by the amazing snow picture.
Just let me admire it for a few more minutes.
Okay. I’m back. Crocheting is hard. I can knit, but I’ve never been able to understand crochet. I always loose all of my stitches. Your hats and scarf are super cute. Great job.

I'm going to attempt a vlog and show you, hopefully without stabbing myself or blinding you with my dorkishness…too much 😉

Here's the other thing: I cannot knit…NOPE!!!…can't get the hang of the two needles at the same time thing. Funny, right?!? Thanks for stopping by AND for admiring my virtual snow, Tracie 🙂

I crochet and “know how” to knit. Knowing how and doing it are two different things. I just can’t get used to the two sticks as well. 🙂 your scarf is EXACTLY the pattern I have been searching for for two skeins of yarn. I may not make it infinity, We’ll see when it’s long enough. I was going to go the pattern on the length, but I love the way you did it on the width !! Thanks from Massachusetts
