I made a beautiful wreath from Fröbelstern (froebel stars, or German stars). I'm so pleased with how it turned out, I plan to make more as gifts for friends this Christmas. They're not too difficult to make, but they are a bit fiddly! I followed this excellent tutorial.
I wonder if it would work with fabric? Hmm, well I'm super busy this December, so that's something to think of for next year.
I made some Thai fisherman's trousers. I can't call them pants, here in the UK pants means underpants! These are actually the second pair I've made, but I don't have any photos of the first ones, and they look a bit pyjama-y anyway. I got the idea for the pattern from here, which is where the photos below come from. Really easy to make, probably an hour from start to finish, and that's including time to turn the house upside down looking for the right colour cotton! I think these grey ones are smart enough to wear to work. Nice shoes and a black top and I think it would look really nice.
Goodness me it's easier than I thought!
Here's a pic of my first crocheted creation: a lovely, warm nipple shield.
Finally, I can look at sentences like "Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each dc around; join with sl st in top of beg ch" and know what it means.
I'm still learning, but plan to make an easy sc blanket with chunky wool and a 12mm hook to start. Fast and easy is always a good confidence builder.
