My first real crochet project is done - finished, blocked, and ends woven in - like a boss! This was a really fun first project, and very simple. It's pretty much just double crochet and little shells, but it makes a very pleasing vertical pattern. I think it would be a really fun scarf to layer with other skinny scarves, maybe like the California Roll scarf I knit over holiday break last winter.
I basically crocheted until I was totally sick of the pattern, then pulled the tail through the last stitch. How cool is it that in crochet, you really don't have to bind off? I guess the trade-off is that you can't drop down and fix problems a few rows back - you just have to rip it out. I have a feeling that crochet isn't going to replace knitting as my favorite hobby, but it's really nice to feel comfortable with another skill. And now I have a growing "crochet" favorites tag on Ravelry!
My Ravelry Page: Ice Blossom
Pattern: Free Pattern from Bad Woman Yarn, not on Ravelry
Yarn: Classic Elite Silky Alpaca Lace
Yardage: One 440-yard ball - I probably used about 420 yards total
Hook Size: Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hook, Size F - this was a pretty comfy hook, and I'd definitely buy another from the same line!
