I was searching through my yarn stash the other day and ran across a half-finished project from several years ago. I remembered when I put it aside. I had most of the components done, but some of my parts were not proportional to the main body of the car for some reason.
The problem with laying aside a project to finish later is that when you come back to it you sometimes forget which yarn, which hook and other details important to the completion of the project. Such was the case with this one.
After the first 'laying aside' I evidently forgot which size hook I was using, therefore when I did pick it up again I used a different and larger hook to try to complete it. This is why I had disproportionate parts. So in frustration I did what any crochet artist would do....I laid the project aside again!
So, here I am, several years later and this project resurfaced once again. Time to frog (unravel) and try again. I do love the way this beetle turned out! It only slightly resembles the original project, but in the process of remaking, it has become a one-of-a-kind little car with big eyes and a happy smile.
I hope this one ends up in the hands of some car loving child that will love and cherish it and, yes, perhaps wear it completely out.
To see this sweet little car visit my web store and give it some love! VW Beetle
Blessings!
