Farm chatter

Crochet is great because it's made up of stitches. Once you know how to do each stitch, you can make any project with the stitches you know.
If you have one color of yarn and you really want to make something with it, the easiest thing would be a single crochet scarf. However, that wouldn't be fun for me to make, because it's one color, it would take forever because it's a scarf, and it would all be the same stitch. If you're interested in a scarf, though, you need to chain the width that you want the scarf, then do single crochets down the row. Repeat until the scarf is as long as you'd like it to be.

Before trying to make anything, i'd recommend practicing until your stitches are neat and even. Another great thing about crochet is that it is super forgiving- you can pull out stitches sooo easily. I'd recommend doing rows of single crochets until you're happy with what you're seeing.

Because I'm not really interested in making clothing, I moved to crocheting in the round super fast to make amigurumi. This is the first thing that I made:

If you don't even want to do the tentacles, you can always just make the ball shape and glue felt on it to make wacky eyes, then you have these fun little ball monsters.
I was interested in doing clothes but other things too like bookmarks. I didn't know patterns for things like these cute octopi existed! I love them! 😍 I'll have to try this, they are too cute! Thank you!

To do things like octopi, you do something called crocheting in the round, which is just going around in a circle. These sorts of projects are almost all single crochets, so once you have a single crochet down, you just have to figure out the start.
 
I went to the chicken show yesterday! I took 3 chickens, my speckled sussex cockerel Speckle, my splash laced Wyandotte Daisy, and my splash silkie Ringo. I won blue ribbons on all 3 of them!
Lucky. I haven't been able to go to a show yet. All the poultry shows here in Michigan, a too far from my location to go too.
