Crochet Challenge!! Day 25: White

The theme for today was white and I don't use much white for crocheting because it gets dirty to easily. So started this little bunny at 9:15 and it is currently 10:30. So it's a pretty fast project. He didn't come out so well and I think it's because I used to big of a hook which caused odd holes and made it not fold as nice. 

I found the picture instructions on Pinterest and I will post a link to it tomorrow morning. But for now it's bedtime.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 24: Favorite Stitch

Usually I make things like toys and object, so I don't use a particular stitch very often. I did find a stitch that I liked during this challenge, which is the Corner to Corner stitch. It can be used it to make stripes or pictures which is what I have been enjoying. I used this stitch to make the Halloween wall hang and am planning another using the same method. 

Here is the chart for a pumpkin wall hang that I'm planning. Its very easy to make charts like these in paint and its on every computer for free which is a plus. 

I was playing with the stitch this weekend and made this little block.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 23: How Long Have I Been Crocheting?

I learned to crochet from my mom when I was 8. I learned a little more from my grandmother when I was 14 in order to help her finish a baby blanket she was making. I am currently 23 so I've been crocheting for 15 years. I spent my first whole summer just making one super long chain to wrap around my house. My level of crocheting has come in waves. I got very into it during my sophomore year of high school for a month or so and then It was just a background interest for the rest of high school, because I was so busy with drum line . I then got very into it during my freshman year of college, which is when I made this blog and I have been obsessed ever since.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 22: Brown

The theme for today is brown. A color which I have not used often at all. The only project I could think to share is the crocheting movie that I made for Campus Movie Fest. It features a seed that slowly grows into a tree.

Yarn of Life

It was mostly made of brown so I think this counts.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 21: Least Favorite Item Made

Today's theme is least favorite item made. My least favorite item I've made is my first attempt at a teddy bear. It was rainbow colored and under stuffed and poorly sewn. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it so instead I give you pictures of the cat butt coasters I made today. I thought I would never make them, but thought of them instantly when this theme came up today. They are oddly cute now that I have made them.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 20: Favorite Item Made

The theme of today is favorite item ever made. My favorite thing I ever made is definitely the little hamburger amigurumi I made. He is super adorable and I made the pattern myself. Also he just so fun to make.

He comes completely apart and each of the pieces still looks like what it is even when he is not assembled. I feel like he would make a cute kids toy or just a desk decoration. The top of his head is based off the top of a monsters head and the bottom is two circles sew together and I think I put a round piece of cardboard in between them also. You can see in the back the other version i made of the bottom bun. 

One hornonary mention for favorite item made is the blanket that I made Magan and Kyle for their wedding. Its definitely the biggest project I have ever done, I think the finished blanket was 7' by 8'. It took a while to make all of the granny squares and attach them.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 19: Pink

I don't use pink very much in crochet and I couldn't find any projects I've made that are pink. So I went on Pinterest and found this today. 

It is a breast cancer support angel ribbon.
