Project Inspo

There is a fellow creator on WordPress called Elena who has been an inspiration for a long time. She posts the most relevant and significant quotations. Made by influential thinkers, scholars and leaders, these quotes always got me thinking or made me feel better when things were going rough. Anyway, her profile picture shows her in a wondrous crocheted beret.

I learned how to crochet at a young age. My mother taught me as did the nuns. I have made scarves for years. When I found this yarn on Joann’s site, I had to work with it. It proved to be great.

These pictures show the finished project. It took about eight hours of total working time. I didn’t have a lot of time to work on it continuously, but I would work with it on Sunday afternoons. The best part about it was that it was an easy and relaxing project.

Narrative

I made the scarf first using a half double crochet, counting to 27 until the scarf fit me. The yarn was a joy. It was smooth and did not snag or tangle in the skein.

After the scarf, I made the beret, increasing in the round until I had ten rounds, then decreasing every other stitch until the beret fit me. It was four rows for me.

Next Steps

Now I’m working on a beret for Gary, and I’m hoping to find more yarn at Joann’s before they close down completely, if they do. I am praying that they come back like Big Lots. So many people love Joann’s! Joann’s is a great store and a wonderful source.
