Do you remember what the very thing you crocheted was?

 

Mine was a barbie outfit, and not a very good one LOL

[smokeyp81]

Mine was a granny square.....

[lhasaapsolady]

just a big thing with sc, dc, tc in it. That's how my great aunt taught me.

[smuchez1317]

The first thing I attempted and the first thing I made are 2 different things. The first thing I attempted was a baby afghan that ended up more like a washcloth and I didn't crochet again for about 4 years but picked it up again and made a different baby afghan. Ok so I guess they are the same lol.

A scrubby for under the shower - made with hemp packaging yarn. Worked like a charm!

a 13" Bride doll for my nephew and his soon to be wife. I had the pattern on one side and a book of crochet stitches on the other.

LOL I crocheted this really long thing with a P hook and many different colors with various two strands held together. It was going to be a seat cover for my car. It was horrible lol.

now who would have guessed that - LOL!! that is tooo funny!! would love to see a pic of that as i am sure it was beautiful - what a wonderful gift

 

i think mine was an afghan....no actually i think it was potholders and lots of them, then an afghan and lots of them - lol!!

 

my first knitting project is the funny one...it was to be a scarf for my mom (I think she still has it somewhere) but it had every color imaginable and i didnt know how to finish it off so it was like 20 ft long (not exaggerating - it was like the energizer bunny - it kept going and going and going - LOL) and it still has the needles hooked to it - that was like 20 yrs ago - now i cant get my hands to cooperate with my brain and cant knit to save my butt - lol!!

[craziebunny]

A granny square baby afghan for my daughter who decided crocheted afghans were her only security blankie's and I couldn't afford to buy them so I had to learn to make them for her. And the obsession began.

[SlowCrocheter]

Mine was an afgan made with a Q hook.

[lizdini]

I made a giant granny square blanket. I don't know if I ever finished it or what happened to it. The first thing I usually claim is a sampler afghan my gramma bought the yarn for in white, pink & green. It was pretty ambitious for a beginner. The squares are a multitude of sizes. I still don't really have gage down that well...

[cat3crazy]

A large granny square to fit a full sized bed! I sure had the double crochet stitch down after that!!!

[shannie_nae]

I was 8yr old when I learned how to crochet and I made a pink scarf to match my coat. I can remember working on it during a spelling lesson in second grade and my teacher took it away for a week. I was crushed. I finished it and was so proud. When I was in high school I found it in the back of my closet and thought "I was proud of this, What was I thinking?" The rows wern't even and there were a different number of stitches in each row. Thats ok I guess we all have to start somewhere.

[kookykatlady]

the very first thing that i ever crocheted was a pair of slippers..... funny how one was much bigger than the other one... that was over 25 years ago and i still hate making slippers

[melmac51]

The first thing I ever crocheted was a short white vest with long, long, white fringe. I actually wore it to a Saints game. It was in 1969.

 

The first thing I ever knitted was a strip...10 stitches, in garter stitch until the end. I wasn't taught at the time how to bind off, so I just ripped it out, rolled it into a ball, and started over again. great practice!

[SlowCrocheter]

Afghan with a Q hook.

[crocheting turtle]

The first item that I crocheted was a mile-a-minute afghan. It was so tight in some places and loose in others that it was lopsided.

[paperdoll]

The first thing I crocheted was a round rug? It looked like a sombrero. I didn't have a pattern and I didn't know about increasing enough. I remember it was white.

Mine was granny squares to.

Placemats! I decided to learn how to crochet since I was running out of people to give cross stitch items to. So I went and bought the kit that has the book, some bobbins, some hooks and a counter (still not sure how to use that!) and the gage checker. I also got some holiday yarns. I decided a great way to practice, would be to make some placemats for mom for Christmas. I did my first one. And each of the remaining three I'd do the beginning chain then hold it up to the first one to see if it was the same size. Not one of those placemats is the same size! They're all different!

 

That same year I also did an afghan for Grandpa. I remembered the blue I used (an ombre) I ran out of, went to get more and the store didn't have the big skeins. So I got the little ones. Yeah, there's a different patterning in the middle of the afghan

[niqita]

a very bad afghan when I was about 11, my mom thought it was the best thing ever!

[kelro]

I remember since it was only a few years ago. I made an afghan and ended up giving it to a friend of mine. It actually came out good, except for the color pattern I did LOL
