I’ve recently taken up crochet, which is much easier for me than knitting. Knitting makes me curse. Crochet makes me curse less.
You know how when you get a new interest or hobby, everyone around you has to pay? Well this year, I drew my niece’s name for our gift exchange, so she gets the product of my new hobby. Behold: the cute little Weeping Angel!
I used this free pattern from Ravelry. Other than having to translate from UK terms, it was pretty easy.
My instructor (A.K.A. my daughter) also made a crocheted Christmas present for the exchange. She drew my sister, who happens to love elephants. And voila!
Will my sister wear a hat with elephant ears and a trunk in public? Of course, she will! It’s pretty fetching.
Watch out, world, I’ve got a crochet hook and a minimal amount of skill, and I’m not afraid to use them!
