Crochet Update

Last night vs right now. The current progress on the maybe-scarf. I might just run out of yarn before I reach actual scarf length, but I'm curious what the full length of one of these yarn balls is. Kinda just getting a feel for it & all.

I Also bought a little book that teaches some crochet basics, and spent some time going through some more stitch styles. The above scarf is made with single stitches, and the following...

The half-double stitch

The double stitch

The treble stitch

Fuck the treble. The process for doing it was so different from the others, I Hated it. Maybe my hands being tired also doesn't help, but I am Grrrr at this one. Final product was okay at least.

These 3 little bitches took me 2 hours to make. Ugh.

#speculation nation #some of that was of course figuring out how to make them in the first place #following directions in a book can be a little challenging. but i got it.#there are more elaborate stitch styles in this book but im keeping to just the basics for now.#ive figured out how to add and remove stitch counts per rows #....partways to deal with my own fuckups lmao but itll be good to know for designs and whatever.#i looked ahead at how to switch yarns midway through and i wanna try that out at some point #maybe do like stripes or something. idk. just Some kind of practice ykno?#i need to experiment with empty space. currently still perplexed by that. but i'll figure it out.#considering i only started crocheting 2 days ago i think ive made remarkable progress.#it's just. fun!!! idk. i like it. and im looking forward to being able to Make Things.#beyond just. indefinite maybe-scarf lmaooo
