Greetings everyone!
First, let me introduce myself. I'm Joyce of Bukidnon and I have found this lovely community through miss 
I also want to thank 
So here's my story. I was a high school kid when I first met crochet, there and then I fell in love with it. Even though I did not have the chance to hold the yarn ad hook that day, I later bought hooks in the Textile Department in Gaisano City Mall.
I only know how to chain that time, forming things and frogging due to my dissatisfaction with my creation. I got frustrated and forgot about it.
Years went by so fast and I got a job in Mega Farm, a livestock company whose office is inside the vicinity of Cagayan do Oro City's Slaughter plant. It was not long when I got used to my job. I got bored and searched the internet about "gantsilyo" and here is the start of my real crochet journey.
My best creation was this Virus Shawl, made of 8-ply Fine cotton gradient yarn and a 3mm generic crochet hook, the first set of hooks that I owned.

At first, I was hesitant to do the project thinking it was so big, how can I even finish it? I'm also afraid of using the yarn, it was too beautiful to use. ( haha this is just me being a keeper).
This yarn was given to me by Miss Lourdes Baday, a crocheter I also met on Facebook. She lives in Baloy, Cagayan de Oro, and one day she gave me a lot of yarns.
One day I started the project, of course with the help and ecouragement of my husband.
He watches videos while I crochet, and making me coffee.
I crochet fast, excited of the color change, I took a picture and sent it to my husband
I"m so excited every time there would be color changes. If only I have a good camera that time I would have taken pictures of every mile step of my project.
these were just some of the photos I took using a borrowed cellphone and asked the owner to send it to me.
look how lovely the color change is. I so loved this part of my project.
I always carry my project wherever I go, at night, after putting the kids to sleep, I would crochet until midnight.
My husband took this photo and bragged it to his friends.
Just like magic and I'm almost done. I cant wait to see the whole project so I asked my husband to take a photo of me holding the shawl.
At work, I eat my lunch fast so I could crochet in my free time. The office was so noisy that time, I got pissed and went my way to the vacant Admin building. I put my project to the stair case railings and took a good photo of it.
Here is me, at our house wearing the shawl.
One fine day, I finished my shawl and immediately took a picture.
I tried doing any post that I can do for I am bad at posing.
Her's a flat lay of my project in our bamboo sofa.
I could not help but admire my work.
I'm sure my boss would be so furious if he sees what I did to his computers.
I brought the shawl at home and showed it to my husband, and he took this photo of me and the shawl the next morning.
My assumptions were wrong. I finished tjis shawl for less than three weeks, and enjoyed
every step of the way.
Thanks for stopping by. Good day!
