Crochet Tiger, Knitting Dragon

Three days ago I stumbled upon a Michael's store while going out for crepes and walked out with my very first set of crochet hooks (and some yarn, of course!).
I watched these two videos and soon i made these:

My very first, SUPER wonky, unblocked granny square. (I believe i used this tutorial.) Now that I've made more of these i can see that this turned out wonky because i didn't finish the row, duh! I'm so proud of it! even though I have already unraveled it to use the yarn for something else..

The super simple hexagon that I found on ravelry.

I made four :)

I went on a granny square frenzy and now I'm working on a full blown baby blanket!

*I've already started joining some of the squares using this great tutorial from Carina's Craftblog!

Little Rosebud seems to approve.

 

I still haven't decided what to do with the finished result, but it'll most likely go up on the shop. It feels so good to learn a new skill, i feel just like last October when i first taught myself knitting and scoured every blog, website, Etsy shop, and project on Ravelry to sedate my thirst for learning! Ah, the day i became a yarn junkie, I'll never forget it :) Now I am proud to call myself a Crochet Tiger, Knitting Dragon!

I've Been Swatching [You].

Apart from the granny squares Crochet Jazmine has been working on, Knitting Jazmine started swatches for my top secret Etsy project! I'm very excited about it and I can't wait to post about it!
Teddy's excited too. Just look at his wicked little smile. Oh yeah, he's definitely up to something.


What I've Been Reading

  

• Stephen King: Misery
• J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Those glasses are part of a super cool costume i got from Ben the Christmas I turned 16. The scarf is actually something I knitted a few months back. It's my own pattern that I've already forgotten because I don't like to write things down, especially not in the heat and excitement one gets caught up in when casting on! It's a cable scarf knit in Gryffindor colors, and you can see me below wearing it on TV.

 

Don't mind the nerdy guy in the stripes, it's just Ben.

What knitting or crochet projects have you been working on? I'd love to hear about them!

But before you leave, please kindly gaze upon this photo of a turtle that i took.

  He is not amused.
