sooo this one as you can see didn't really turn out so great, I don't know why but I have such a difficult time making a square. like with the other ones it started in the middle and went outwards. this as you can tell started from the very bottom and I had to work my way up and at the ends it kind of started to curve? but this one is considered the "star stitch" and man was this one not easy to do. with how far I did get it took me well over an hour just to get there and I like how the middle areas look, it does look pretty nice and once I get more practice with the edges I should be able to make one of these and it should look pretty good. so next week hopefully I have 3 more of these to post, or upload pictures of. honestly at the end of the night, sitting down in front of my TV having the rest of my homework done and being able to pull up the videos on the TV and watching how they do these things, its relaxing you know? except when your family needs something and decides to talk to you when you are just trying to listen so you know which stitches to use and then having to go back in the video and trying to listen for the part again. In this one I used a half double crochet stitch, a single stitch and a stitch I for some reason don't really remember what it is called but when I remember I will update this post on what it is called. until next time guys!

so this is the second one that I created, this is also considered a "granny square" and honestly this one was a little bit more difficult to do. I was watching a video and the way they explained it was easy but hard at the same time. again I do wish I had used a different kind of yarn or at least a different color to make it easier and I would have probably had a more easier time creating this. this one I think took me around an hour? I had to back up the video I used so many times so that I could understand exactly what they were doing. again this kind of thing only used 2 kinds of stitches again, a single stitch and a double crochet stitch which yes did end up being so easy to do. this one was kind of cool learning how to make, like I was laughing because of the mess ups I made during the process but at the end I think I did a pretty good job. so the  next picture that I will be uploading, be ware that it did not go so well and I will more then likely be trying to create it again, but once I had different yarn completely.

so earlier this week I got around to taking a picture of something I made a little while ago. honestly this looks pretty decent for the very first one that I made. it took me about half an hour to create since it was pretty easy to make and while I was crocheting this I hurt my wrist (a previous injury from crocheting and moving my wrist to quickly) and it hurt for a couple of days so I was limited to what I could do. this is considered a "granny square", there really only about two kinds of stitches involved to create this. first one was a simple single stitch and the second one was a double crocheted stitch that may look difficult but once you do a couple of them it is super easy to do. what I think I could have done better was maybe use a solid yarn instead of one that goes from one color to another, if I did use a solid color, maybe like a light pink it would have been a bit easier to see the stitches that I used while going along. so this was my first one and I did use a YouTube tutorial but I cant find it nor do I remember which one I used to help me do this one so I am just going to say, if you want to re create this just look up granny squares on YouTube and you are 100% going to find a video that you will be able to use to crochet this. just a little fyi my next post will be the next "granny square" that I created. so see you in the next post!
