another day another project




My love of crochet started when I was really young . I started at the age of 8 or 9. I tried knitting as well but loved crochet better cause its faster to finish a project.
I have left it alone for a very long time but never gave away my hooks . I seem to be addicted to my hooks LOL. over the years I have collected over 2 sets.
I got back into it a few years ago when a friend of mine said I want to learn how. so I picked it back up and started to practice again. then she says to me I want to learn how to use thread I said OMG thread I never used crochet thread before.
I remember once when I was on the subway a older lady crocheting with this white thread and thinking oh my goodness that's so small . She was so quick as she was making this beautiful lacey doily , she was just going to town on it. I could never do that I thought to myself . I'm not that good. but then I got the challenge when my friend said "thread" so I pulled out my tiny steel hooks and tried it . I have been hooked ever since and finished my first christmas doily. it came out beautiful. with my perseverance and patience I did it!! .pic to come later
Now I have discovered ity bity babies they are just so cute and smell good too. the above pictures are an example of the work I did . the pink and white doll is bigger and I had NO pattern at all. all I had was a picture of one of the smallest 5 inch dolls. thanks for reading.
