RE: #needleworkmonday :: Finally, completed crochet Ski Lodge hat
Can't say I'm much into my own crocheting, @marbley, but it's hats like these that makes me think I probably should. I just wouldn't want to take on too large of a project and end up never finishing it. :)
I checked to see if you mentioned how long it took you to put the hat together, but couldn't find it (maybe I'm blind?). As someone who knows very little about crocheting, it looks like it might be easier than something like a sweater or a blanket or something, but I'm sure it still takes some time. Would you say it would be something good for a beginner to try? Or is there something else I would want to try first?
Hey @glenalbrethsen! Thank you for dropping by :) Yah, I did not say how long exactly because I did not work on it continuously non-stop. I think if I were to do that, I can probably complete it within a few hours. But I only spend maybe half hour or an hour or so each time and not everyday. So, it kinda took about a few weeks :D
Ah yes, my first completed project when I first started to take up crocheting seriously was a beret hat. At first I thought blankets or afghans would be easier but I never seem to complete one haha. So, I challenged myself, watched a youtube video of a simple beret project, followed it step by step and I actually completed it in a few days! It was such a satisfying feeling to be able to complete a wearable. You really should give this a try. It is very therapeutic. Start with the youtube. Search for a simple crochet beanie tutorial or something like that. There are tons to choose from :) And then, once you start, you can join us on Mondays at #needleworkmonday :) It doesn't have to be a completed project. As long as you think about it, start something or halfway, you can share it with us :)
Okay, then. I might just try something for my granddaughter as well as for the grandbaby that's due in a couple of weeks. Beanies would be perfect, I think. Now, I just got to take the time to do it (oh, and see what materials we might already have—I'm thinking since my wife doesn't do any of this that I might have to go get at least some yarn and a crochet hook :).
