First let me show you the Three Way Wrap, I finally got buttons on it so I could wear it on Monday. : )
My love/hate relationship with crochet goes back a few years, right after I had Isaiah mom started me on a crochet afghan. If I was with her it went straight, but when I left WV it would go all over the place, so frustrated I stopped. Two summers we tried again with a cute shrug/wrap I had seen, but again after I left mom it was all over the place so I gave up and thought I’ll just stick with knitting for now.
Then I seen a pair of socks that had knitting and crocheting involved…along with this shawl at Stitch Diva and again thought I wish I knew how to crochet. This weekend I got a crochet dishrag book in hopes that it would help. ; )
Ok so back on track, I cast on to the flower socks in hopes that when mom came up this past weekend, she could help me with the flowers. Well I didn’t make it that far and I didn’t get to ask her for help lol. Yesterday, I made it to the flower part and tried to figure the flowers out but couldn’t get past the first 2 steps. I waited and called mom on her lunch break, but she was home sick (hugs). I headed then to my sockster buds on KH and asked for help.
Thank you so much Julie for getting me started, and Tami for the tips. I give you my sock with my crochet flowers on them lol. They might not be perfect but I’m pretty happy with them.
Now for the 2nd sock, I’m enjoying this Koigu!! : )
I hope you all have a great day of knitting! : )
