Learning to Crochet (・ェ-) and Black French Tip Nails (ʘ‿ʘ )

I decided to learn how to crochet with my free time!! I tried to learn before and I could always learn to do the foundation chain. But when I got to the part where I had to turn it and create another row, I was completely befuddled by the yarn. No matter how many books I looked at and how many YouTube videos I watched I couldn't get it!!( ̄へ ̄)So I gave up....

However! Here I am again~! I found this gorgeous scarf on Tumblr and decided to give it a crack~ a try?
Anyways! It was the Anne scarf by MK Carroll but the pattern was $5.50 so I decided to seek out alternatives on the internet. I stumbled upon this amazing blog with the Queen Anne's Lace Crochet Scarf Tutorial (it even has the ends worked out!)






At first I used a 3.5 mm needle (smaller than the recommended 5 mm for the yarn) and the flowers came out all blotched and tight. It might also have something to do with my technique being too tight. ^(~)^

I took it apart and used a 5.50 mm needle with looser handiwork and it came out like this!


What do you guys think of my first project? Beautiful right? (╯▽╰)

I also found time to paint my nails~ A metallic blue with black french tips!
How do you guys think it came out? The color is more vibrant in real life (́一‵) also a bit darker... I had to lighten the picture so you guys could see.  ‎(>﹏<) IT'S  BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED! Hahaha.

Knitted Neck Scarf O(≧∇≦)O

I started this scarf or neck tie a day ago. It's a pretty quick project, even for me! I knit so slow but if you work hard, you should be able to finish in one day.

So I stayed up and am finally done with my Martha Stewart Knitted Neck Scarf.

However, instead of garter stitching across the main body, I knitted a wishbone cable~




I always wondered how they made that loop that allowed it to self tie!
