Crochet Adventures

A friend recently taught me how to crochet (Thanks Audrey!). She started me off with the very basics -making a slip knot, chain and single crochet. The plan was to make a small amigurumi style bunny with the pattern from Bunny Mummy -Here (it includes quite a good tutorial for beginners).  Being my first ever crochet project the tension was not quite right and instead of a nice round bunny head I got something more elongated. Looking at it I decided it looked like a snakes head so instead of making the small bunny body I kept on crocheting and made a snake! I think it turned out really well for my first ever crochet project :-)

It's now on its the way to my little niece in Australia!

  2. Coby this is amazing for a first project! Your stitches are so tight and even! Mine are so wonky =( Oh my goodness I'm going to link you a pattern that I want to eventually (maybe in a few years? =p) make (unless you make it for me before then? =p)

    (I haven't quite worked out which link is which yet so I'm going to bomb you with 4 links... Sorry!)
