I recently decided to give crocheting a try after being an avid knitter my whole life. It turned out to be surprisingly simple to figure out thanks to my knitting background and Google. I found a lovely bag pattern (free!) on Pinterest and used some bargain yarn to give it a try. The whole project took me about a week to complete and used two balls of yarn. The original pattern I was following was the Rainbow Bag . I followed the pattern as best I knew how (as it turns out I may not have been doing some of the stitches correctly at the beginning but they still looked fine!). Obviously, I did not change colours throughout instead using a colourful yarn. I decided learning to crochet would be enough of a challenge so I didn't need to add the hassle of changing colour every row and then sewing that all up at the end. Here is the finished project. My next project is a triple stitch scarf but then I think I will try something a bit more fun like some Amigurumi.
