My Collection!

So about a month ago, I started to learn how to knit and crochet, and so far I've made some pretty cool things. I've obviously gotten better the more I've done it, but it honestly takes up such less time and its for a much cheaper price.

I prefer crochet over knitting. I think it looks better and it definitely takes less time. Also, you have more styles you can create with crochet, plus it's a lot easier I feel.

Here are the scarves I've made so far. They're all crocheting, and I did make a knitted one too, however, I'm not going to show it because it turned out terrible. It was the first one I made and it curled up :( boo.


Also, the pink one in the bottom left corner, I actually made that by a technique called "arm knitting". It's quite simple, actually. It takes about 30 minutes (the first time takes a little bit longer). There's tutorials on how to make all of these and they take like no time. The only one that took really long was the black one in the bottom right corner, but it turned out super cute!

Getting Crafty :)

So I've been out of school for a couple extra days due to snow and wind chill factors, so I made a lot of little ear warmer headband things! I think they're really cute and they're quite simple to make - but they might take sort of long, depending on what style you want.

I made a few different types, some are just normal and some have bows. It's great because you can make it how snug you want it, or how thick you want it and what color!

Here are the ones I made :


Then I also got a little carried away and tried to make one with cat ears. It didn't turn out the best that I wanted, but I still like it. It's quite cute. I think just next time I'll have to use thicker yarn than what I did!


The flash kind of made it look weird, but it's just a plain black ear warmer hat. I actually knitted this one, the others I crocheted. I also made some scarves that I'll try and take pictures and upload later! They're really simple to make! If you want to try, you can just ask me, maybe I'll make a video or something!
