Caught in Strings and Things
Strings and Things is the place where I can post the items I make (usually crochet) and show people
Working on a commission! Can you guess what it is?

This little cutie didn't want to wait for her wings to be sewn on! Super adorable and so fun to make! Definitely going to be making a bunch of them!
I am so proud of these! No this is not my own pattern. These were made following a video tutorial from Crystal of Bag 'O Day Crochet.
The reason I am so proud of these, is that, 3-4 years ago, when I first tried to make these, I wasn't able to. I was only able to make it to the first row of the crocodile stitches, and that was it. I couldn't see where I was supposed to put those stitches, and I got so frustrated, that I just put it away, hoping that I would be able to finish it "Someday". Looking back, I realize I never really thought that "Someday" would come. But now, I can proudly say that "Someday" has come!
I was going through my yarn, and came across the WIP I had started of these gloves, and decided to try it again. So I pulled up that video, and tried. And it was crazy how much simpler it was this time versus when I tried a few years ago! I hadn't even realized how much I had grown as a crocheter until the moment I reached the same point in the video that I had had trouble with before, and was able to move past it with no issues.
And, not only was I able to make this pair of crocodile stitch fingerless gloves, I was able to modify the pattern in 2 different ways! And going off of those modified patterns, I'm starting to write my very own pattern! I'm so excited, because I never thought that I would reach a point where I was actually writing my own patterns!
Thank you guys for reading this far, and for sticking with me!
