My 1st FO (Trial)
Originally posted: 22-September
Yesterday, since I am already at National Bookstore, I thought of getting one crochet magazine — after all it is already on sale (Php100 isn’t bad at all).
So even if I really have no idea how to actually read and interpret patterns, I followed the urge and got myself one crochet mag.
Most of the patterns were designed for an intermediate level, some even pros… But there were also a few meant for an easy/beginner’s level.
One of which is the Blooming Headband.
I am happy for 3 reasons… First, this is something really nice for my baby. Second, FINALLY! here’s my first Crochet FO and lastly, that I was able to follow the pattern quite well. =)
