Feeling a little loopy?

 

I've been feeling a little loopy the past couple of days.  Yes!  Loopy, as in crocheting and knitting and making lots and lots of loopy-loops.  One thing I resolved to do this year is to teach myself to knit and crochet.  So I started with these very simple crocheted hair bows that take a matter of a few minutes to whip up.

I found these very detailed and easy to follow direction on Jess's blog, Craftiness is Not Optional and gathered up the only yarn I had on hand and old crochet hooks and began.

The instructions were really easy to follow for someone like me who has very little crochet knowledge.

Viola!  I did it.  I attached a hair bow clip on the back and it is set to clip on a little girl's hair.

So fast and easy, in fact, that I whipped out two.  And then decided to try a third one using a larger guage crochet hook and yarn.  The orange one was easier to do, but kind of chunky and bulky, I think.  Nevertheless, they are super fun, fast and easy to create.

At House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge blog this week's theme is "New Beginnings" and to create a card of something new...which can include a new skill.  This adorable Happy Hopper is busy getting loopy just like me!  *smiles*

I'm ready to tackle a little more challenging project now but these were a fun start.

 

Until next time,

Cheers!
