My first crocheted scarf [learning left hand crochet]

I have tried my hand on knitting scarves and they have turned out alright and I use them all. This is my very first attempt on a crocheted scarf.

The pattern and the instructions are from http://www.crochetgeek.com. It is called Freedom scarf. I watched the left hand video of it several times and followed the graph rather than the written instructions. Thank you...CrochetGeek.

 I used 4mm hook and my thirfted grey and blue yarn. I think it is a good match even though they were not yarn of the same variety.

There could be errors ... but overall it does look nice to me.

Just in time for the winter !................ next it will be one of those cowl/infinity scarves.

I also made another set of bottle-cap pincushions for a friend of a friend who wants them as 'christmas stocking stuffers'. 

If you like to try these pincushions here is the link.

Lastly, a case for my new camera, which I took some of these pictures from. It is much sharp in colour and details than my old one.

Thank you taking time to stop by, it means a lot to me,

Until next time,

Pincushions

I made these for a friend of a friend who wants them for her book club. I have made similar ones couple of times now.

The inspiration is from this creative web site. And, they are beautiful.

                                       

This time I added a few of these coloured pebbles to the bottle cap so it will not topple. [not part of the tutorial]

I also tried one with an empty spool, of course no pebbles for that.

  

........ easy and fun to make. 

I hope her book club will like these !

Thank you for stopping by,

Until next project,
