Crotcheting project

Meet the subjects..

In situ:

Side view, back view:

I decided to crotchet coverings for small teddies and stuffed toys. I like all things small and cute and there has always been at least one small stuffed toy next to my bed for as long as I can remember. I was not very enthusiastic about the project so I needed some motivation to get myself working. Crocheting covers for something I liked seemed to provide a solution. I also wanted to do something a little unconventional and unexpected, something that would hopefully put a smile on a few faces. I was not very excited about this project because I did not even know how to crotchet let alone crotchet a cover for something. I really hoped the project would be canceled or something but after waiting a while and seeing that there might be no way out of this I decided to make a plan. Seeing as I am not very good at waiting around for people to teach me how to do things; I decided to buy a crotchet needle and some wool, get my hands working and take it from there. My first efforts were pure frustration, I almost gave up but I was more scared of the thought of getting a 0 for this project so I decided to stick it out and was very successful fortunately. My other challenge was that I was too slow to make anything substantial, so I resolved to give the project as much time as possible. I managed to finish on time and I actually ended up unable to stop crocheting for a while. I can actually honestly say I ended up enjoying the project and thank you Mark, for the opportunity to learn something new.

Thank you
