Wow! Just finished my first piece!

[TrendyTurner]

It just happens to be a scarf because I thought it might be the easiest. The pattern is from this book that I got from Borders. The pattern is by a designer named Denise Cozzitorto. This book Visually Crocheting is really helpful! It taught me how to do a lot of the stitches. I used Lions Brand Homespun yarn, but didn't end up using as much as it called for. Here's the final product! Next I want to try a hat!

 

 

(I resized the images to 261x480 pixels and 358x480. I hope those are okay sizes)

That is beautiful! You did a wonderful job! Am I understranding this right? This is your first crochet project? I am very impressed if it is! I have that book and want to make that scarf...just haven't found the time yet! Congrats on a beautiful scarf!!!

[TrendyTurner]

Yep! Very first finished project. I had another scarf I tried to make but all my stitches were way too tight and so it was a horrible mess! Haha. I should probably try and take it apart and see if I can salvage the yarn. The scarf project itself is really beautiful, but on a taller person it might look a little thin. I'm pretty short myself. Might have to add another row of double crochets if you want it thicker. I asked for a couple of pattern books for x-mas too so I will hopefully have some really trendy designs to make sweaters and such.

 

Well! Off I go to try and find more yarn!

That's an excellent job, especially for your first project. Congratulations.

Very pretty! It looks so nice and warm and snuggly. Great job, much better than my first finished project when I picked it back up a few years ago. I groan every time I see mom wearing the scarf, but she loves it, imperfections and all.

Love it! I know I wouldn't have been able to work with Homespun on my first project, so that's pretty awesome that you could.

Haha, I almost couldn't. But with a little relaxation and a bigger hook it was a lot easier. I had to try a few times to get it right for sure. That stuff gets twirled really easily.
