Continuous Learning, Episode 2

This is crochet. This episode, like the last Continuous Learning episode, focuses not so much on the learning as it does practicing. I actually learned to crochet way before I learned to knit. But, as you all know, I don't crochet very often.

Why? I don't know. It's kinda weird to work with only one needle/hook. I have to watch what I'm doing when I crochet, so I can't do it while I watch TV or read. I'm not as confident a crocheter as I am a knitter. I have only 7 crochet hooks, compared with about 100 knitting needles.

Okay, those last two are pretty fixable. I'll give you that. I just need to do more crochet.

I've actually been thinking of doing more. Mainly because I keep seeing all those cute little amigurumi. And while you can do that in knitting, it's just much simpler to make curves and stuff in crochet.

Ok. So crochet. Right.

So this is the Ood Mask I am making for R. Took me two or three tries to get stitches that were nice and even I was happy with. But once I got started, it went really quickly. As quickly as knitting.


I find that interesting.





Anyway, this is not done. Not by a damn sight. It is actually a fairly complex pattern. Bunch of increases and some short rows and stuff. And I have no idea about that whole mouth thing. I'll be learning something new there, I can tell you that. And I am only working on it when R and/or his gf are not around.

We'll check back in on this later.
