Out of the Box | A New Crocheter in the House

A new crocheter.

Nope, not this girl. She's only been enjoying the yarns so far... My girl, Fluffy, is only here for optics. LOL.

Hello, #NeedleWorkMonday Community. It's been forever since my post here in the community. I also don't think this is a "come-back" of sorts since I do not have the luxury of time to sit for any needlework project right now.

Anyway, about a week ago, my daughter dug my crochet box from my closet. She asked if she could use it, and since I had almost forgotten that I had this box, of course, I said "yes".

Since then, she's burrowed her head into several little projects. A couple of years ago, I taught her the basics like chains, single and double crochet. This time, she did all her small projects independently (with the help of some youtube tutorials).

Little Miss' first small project.

One day, Little Miss approached me to show that she was making a leaf. I am amazed at this girl's focus and ability to follow instructional videos and make this. I asked her what her plan about it was. I thought she was going to make a plant/flower project. Then she showed me this:

How cute! 😍 She attached her project to her headphone and here it is, planted on her head. LOL.

Oh, a pouch!

Next, I saw her crocheting another piece. I had to tell her that she had to rest her eyes because she gets so hooked (pun intended) on her work. I asked her what she was doing and she said she wanted to make a small pouch that would be closed by a tie.

This morning, she showed me her finished product. Cool, eh?!

Maybe she can attach this flower she also previously made, though she didn't like it much. She said it was ugly. She always ended up with the wrong count after each round. LOL.

Here's her pouch tied close. Not yet perfect, but hey, not bad for an 11-year-old. She was also quite fast - she finished this in just 2 nights.

Hooked!

She is my ever artistic and creative kid. If she's not on her drawing pad or her tablet, now she's hooked. I told her to document her process so she could perhaps share them again here on Hive, but she said she always forgets. LOL.

Maybe next time. 😉 Anyway, putting her as the beneficiary account of this post just because it's her work.

Until the next!
