Hi Hiveians! Today I'm going to participate in the WIP challenge! Thanks to @crosheille for starting it on HIVE. :)
A week ago, my mama and I crocheted two belts for each other because on August 26 she had her 50th birthday! Woohoo! :D
On her birthday, it was the first time I've ever baked cookies on my own. Usually I do it with my mamas help, but she early decided to go on a walk at the beach by herself to breathe some fresh air and enjoy the view. I let her have her mama time so with no idea what I was doing, at home I attempted to make cookies on my own for the first time (besides a little help from the internet). 😁
I also made her a card with a drawing of the two of us on the front, that I drew on my own.
The cookies aren't too bad, right? If you're wondering what "Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag" means, it's German for "happy birthday". All of the cookies were eaten up soon. I'm glad my mama enjoyed her birthday. :)
My WIP
My mama and I crocheted a belt for each other. Everything took about 20-25 minutes to crochet. My mama once bought grey wool that's in the middle of the image below. We kept it in a white plastic bag for about 7 months or so. We did so many other projects so we almost forgot about it. One day, I found it again in the plastic bag and finally took it out to complete something out of it. When we made the belts, we wanted them to have two colors, for the first time we crocheted them holding a white yarn and a grey yarn together. :)
Materials used:
4.00mm crochet hook/needle for both belts
A sewing needle
White yarn and grey yarn. (For my belt, I used white wool and grey wool and for my mamas belt we used the white wool and a lighter grey yarn).
First we had to crochet a big loop, to open and close the belt when it's finished. At the end of the loop, we started crocheting the belt with three chain stitches on each row and every now and then, we checked if the size fits. When it was long enough, we crocheted the button.
It was my first time making this belt but after doing it more, I got better. Just like Shakira says, "Try everything"! 😄
You can take these belts anywhere, to the mall, a supermarket, at work, during your daily routines/chores etc. I even took it to the beach! :D
Here are the results! :D
What do you think? Thank you for viewing my post, I hope you enjoyed it and enjoy the rest of your day! 😀
