Mine was a shell-stitch doll blanket for my two American Girl dolls. I fringed it along three sides. It's not very nice, but I still have it... what was your first project?
A very revealing dc mesh skirt from turquoise string/thread for a doll followed by a matching oval bra top for the same doll. Or maybe the top was first... They're long gone. I was in 4th or 5th grade.

My first project was The Chain. I was so proud of myself the first time I could do it without looking at the book.

Scarf! it is blue! it is lumpy! i wear it proudly! ^_~
My first proper project (not counting chain and the 1 1/2 booties I made when first pregnant) was a granny square afghan in pastels. I was so proud! Unfortunately I didn't know about leaving a decent length to weave in after finishing each square, and it's now fallen to bits. Ho, hum.
I hear you on leaving a tail long enough to weave in when you cut the yarn. Someone used to get aggravated with me because I left enough of a tail that I knew I had enough to weave in and not have it all come undone in the wash.
Baby booties! I envy anyone that can make them. I have tried so many times. The last pair I made, I told the mother of the baby that maybe he could fit into them before he went off to college.
Guage is important enough to check before you finish the project. How well I know this. Now.
My first project? A really intricate thread crochet coaster that my grandmother taught me to do. I was 5 years old and it took me a week to finish. She had such patience with me! I still have it...unfortunately, I chose to do it in bright pink....
Good golly, KnitMouse! That's pretty incredible for a first project AND at five years of age!
Hehe! I agree with LaMorocha, KnitMouse. That blows my mind.
My first "project" was pretty much a swatch to see how to do a mesh stitch, but then I realized it might work well to tie back my drapes, so I did another. This makes me laugh just writing it. I think I need a do-over and a re-design on that little project of mine.
When I was seven... I finshed my first "real" large project ever...
it was a baby blanket for my cousin...who is now 18 years old. She has it still...she still uses it too as a lap blanket...
my first small project I think was a doily at five and a half. I don't know where that is now since I left it with the woman who taught me..and she died a while back
Wow! That's amazing too!
my first project was an entire skein of nothing but single chain stitch when i was 3 years old. it was something to keep me amused while in the car.
i think the first project i ever actually FINISHED was a baby blanket that eventually went to my ex-cousin-in-law's oldest son. it was white, double crochets in clusters of 3 (like a granny square), stripes of pastels every 3 rows, and fringed. everyone was shocked that i'd made it, i was shocked that i'd actually finished it!

My first project was a pot holder. It took me 3 or 4 days to finish, if I remember correctly. I didn't catch on very quickly, and at the age of 7, I never sat still for very long anyway. My grandmother was working on an afghan and was very patient with me. I gave it to my mother, and I don't know if she still has it or not.
My first project when I re-discovered crochet 4 years ago was a baby blanket for my cousin. It was white with a pink and purple trim and I was quite proud of myself.
wahmommy
Mine was a doily...it took me quite some time, and lots of ripping out, but I hung in there and finished it, and I haven't stopped crocheting since!
