Take #2

Okay, so last time I told you about my crocheting efforts and showed you the disastrous hat that I tried to make.

What I was trying to make:

What I made:

I was really upset that I failed so miserably, so I decided to give it another go. Here’s my second attempt:

It’s a bit snug on my head, and I realize it looks a lot like a doo-rag, but I definitely think it’s an improvement. I’ll never actually wear it because it cuts off the circulation in my head and gives me a bad headache, but it was still fun to make.

I thought about trying one more time, but I thought it might be better to try a different hat pattern instead. If I were to bomb at a 3rd try, my crochet self-esteem might plummet and I wouldn’t have the strength to keep crocheting.

Since my last hat looked like a beanie kind of, I’m going to try a beanie crochet pattern now. How hard can that be? Maybe I’ll even get fancy and add a Pom Pom ball to it.

I can’t wait to show you how it turns out! (I can’t wait to see for myself either!)

Uh-oh

Someone told me crocheting was a great stress reliever so I bought a book and taught myself how to crochet. I just finished my first hat! It was a lot of fun but it didn’t quite turn out the way I expected.

This is what is was supposed to look like:

This is how mine turned out:

I’m not quite sure what went wrong. I followed the instructions or at least I thought I did. Maybe the instructions were wrong. Yeah, I’m going to go with that. Or maybe I just need to practice more? Not sure.

But I did have fun making it, even though it came out shaped like a skirt instead of a hat. So I’m definitely going to make more. You should totally try crocheting something yourself! It really is a great way to relax.I

’ll be sure to share my future projects with you. Until then, have fun, be creative, and share your projects with me too!
