Feeling totally amazed that I’m actually wearing a scarf that I made.
When I began to learn to crochet last summer I never thought I would actually be able to make anything that I could wear. I thought it’d all turn out a bit wrong. Well, turns out I was wrong. Super proud of myself while attempting not to come over as smug. Apologies for the ladleful of smug as I stroke my pretty infinity scarf gently and coo.
I’m so glad I decided to stop drooling over other people’s Instagrammed beauties and tried to do something myself. Turns out something pretty special occurs as a result of the crochet. Something I hadn’t really anticipated.
I feel like my Granny, and that makes me feel closer to her, which is a lovely thing.
I sit down and stop thinking about anything else. It’s just me and a long thread working together (ok, occasionally fighting each other). I focus my energy on turning the thread into smooth swatches of warmth. No thinking about what other people are doing. It’s just me and the yarn.
Woolly deets: I followed this free Crocheted Rib Cowl pattern found on The Purl Bee and I used an 8mm hook and about 2 x 100g balls of Drops Andes in Denim Blue. Go forth and create yourself some awesomeness too.

More ladlefuls of smug please, you should be super proud of yourself! Now all I want is a photo of you wearing it 😉
That would have required me to get out of my onesie…or I guess I could have put my coat on over the onesie and no one would have ever realised 😉 x
Ha ha! Absolutely no judgement on my part!
Oooh how gorgeous – and the colour suits your blog name! Thanks so much for linking up to #AllAboutYou xx

You should be proud, it is beautiful!
It is so lovely to have that calm wash over you as you pick up the yarn. I’ve only just rediscovered knitting in the past month and i love it. So relaxing and rewarding to create something.
It makes such a nice change to do something with your hands doesn’t it, especially when you spend lots of time online for work and pleasure. Hope you’re doing well x
