WOW! You don't ask hard questions do you? First thing I thought of was "first crochet project and really good funky project" just don't seem to go together. Most people start with dishcloths, afghans, squares for afghans, shawls or hats. But you did say really good funky so.......why not jump right in and make the Seraphina Shawl I would be most anxious to see how your first project turns out.

I don't know how hard they are, but I find the arm warmers funky.

A fuzzy purse, flapper hat, wrist cuffs. I am not sure how funky you want but maybe torrid.com or hottopic.com can give you some ideas. Bracelets might be good too.

diamond that's why i asked... all i ever see are really bad yukky projects that make me want to shudder.... my first project is actually a skirt im doing i bought the pattern and have made slight alterations.

 

you guys have all said really good suggestions! thanks

I think a bag would be great! I would find a pattern you like and then jazz it up with fuzzy yarns or other types that would add the funk. You can make it as colorful as you'd like! I think bags are a great project for artistic expression! Whatever you decide, have fun with it!

How about a funky freeform scarf. Different kinds of yarn, different hook sizes and different stitch practice. No mistakes to ever be seen and a one of a kind project.

Have you looked at Crochet Me? There's lots of neat stuff over there and there's probably plenty of things that would be a good first project... I think the February/March issue in particular had a lot of quick projects, so you might want to look through that issue...

 

Hope that helps!
