my crochet blog

I was finally able to start a blog for my crocheted stuffs! It took me a few days to set up my page. I have to take pictures of all my crocheted items, edit them and design the page. It was tiring but I really enjoyed doing it. I opened an account both here in blogger and in multiply. They have the same theme. Here is the link to Hook n' Yarns' multiply site: http://hooknyarns.multiply.com/.

I think it will be nice to share how I got into crocheting. My mom was the one who taught me how to crochet. She makes hats, curtains, headbands, bags, cellphone case and all sort of things. She once borrowed a very colorful crochet book and I was so eager to crochet from the patterns of that book! I don't remember my age when I started crocheting but I do remember that when we were taught crochet in grade school, I was so proud with myself because I already know how to do it. But somehow, I got busy and stopped crocheting... It was only a few months ago when I got hooked up to it again! Me and Jasper were strolling inside a mall when I saw a crocheted headband. I wanted to buy it but it was too pricey for me and I thought I'll just ask my mom to make one for me. But after a while I thought, why not make my own? And so I went to the nearest craft store and started crocheting again. I searched patterns from the net and learned that there are many other things that I can make out of crochet. Now I can even make an amigurumi which is a crocheted doll! I am really proud of my works and I will be posting them here soon.

Enjoy! :)
