Fiber Monday #1.1

IT LIVES!

So... I'm back. From outer space. Or from just not ever remembering to update. Enjoy some new content. Also, surprise!

Those who know me IRL are aware that I have an unhealthy obsession with crochet. I’m rarely found without at least one project on me, so I thought I’d start a record of whatever I’m working on and it… it morphed, guys.

Here, I’ll be showing you one project, from start to finish.

This first project, I decided to go easy – I’m making a scarf from some purple yarn I was given, and I’ll be using only one stitch, the single crochet stitch.

First, I cast made a slipknot in one end of the yarn – that way I could loop it onto the hook I was using (an H or 5mm hook).

Then I wrapped the yarn once around the hook and pulled it through the loop made by the slipknot, which gave me my first chain.

Then I continued my wrap, pull pattern until I had about 21 chains.

After that, I looked at the chain – on one side were some wheat or oat shaped stitches, but when you looked at the other side, it was little bumps. I put the hook through the second bump from the hook, wrapped the yarn once, and pulled it through, creating my first single crochet.

I jab/wrap/pulled my way to the end of the row, leaving 20 stitches in my wake, and then I wrap/pulled one more time to create my turning chain, which gave me wiggle room to make the next row!

Now that I had a row done, I jab/wrap/pulled through the tops, the wheaty/oaty looking bit on the top of the stitch, and made my second row of single crochet.

In total, I eventually ended up with 10 rows of single crochet, so far. I’ll post updates every Monday, so you can see how the scarf goes!

Now go and enjoy something!!!
