WIP Wednesday

I'm joining some parties that show what crocheters and knitters are working on and not yet finished.  I've finally chosen a larger project that I can't finish in one evening.  lol  And I LOVE it.  So pretty.

It is called the Queen Anne's Lace Scarf.  

 

Isn't this gorgeous?

 

I know I've mentioned many times that since I taught myself to crochet last month via You Tube videos, I often struggle with written patterns.  I need PHOTOS!  lol

So starting this pattern was a BEAR.  Oh boy, did I start and stop many times.  I kept looking at the finished projects of others on Ravelry, and my creation just did not look like theirs.

Well, my dears, it wasn't supposed to. It is quite ugly as it starts out.  In desperation, I searched online and found a very dear blogger who took photos and explained step by step.  This angel blogs here:

Crochet 101 Queen Anne's Lace Scarf

Bless her!!  Thanks to her help, I got this rolling on our trip back from Dallas and I'm working on it a little each night.  Just LOVE it!

Here is the free pattern:

(I hope this works for those who aren't free members.  If you love crochet and knitting, you can join free!)

I can't wait until I get a little better, perhaps start writing my own patterns. I am going to remember those like me who learn just a little differently than every one else.  Pictures are key!!!  lol
