HANDICRAFTS
Handicraft
- also known as craft work or simply craft, is a type of work where useful and decorative devices are made completely by hand or using only simple tools. Usually the term is applied to traditional means of making goods. The individual artisanship of the items is a paramount criterion, such items often have cultural and/or religious significance. Items made by mass production or machines are not handicrafts.

Crochet
- is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the French word "crochet", meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.
Different Crochet Stitches:
1.The Chain
The beginning base for all crochet projects is the chain. Begin by making a slipknot toward the end of the yarn, putting the hook through the loop, and pulling the yarn to tighten the loop so that it is snug but not tight. Using the hooked end, grab the longer end of the yarn and pull it through the loop, keeping the yarn on the hook. This has created one link of chain. Continue repeating this until your chain is the desired length for your project.
2.Single Crochet
Single crochet is the most basic stitch, and the one upon which all variations have been built. Begin with a chain, and put the hook through the second chain link from your hook. Use the hook to pull the long end of the yarn through this chain link, keeping the yarn on your hook. At this point you will have two loops on your hook. Use the hook to pull the long yarn through both loops at the same time. This completes the single crochet stitch. Push the hook through the next link in the chain, moving right to left, and repeat the stitches.
3.Double Crochet
Double crochet is a versatile stitch and is frequently used in afghans. Begin with a chain of a desired length, with your hook through the last chain link. Wrap the long end of the yarn around the hook, which is called a "yarn over." Count to the third link in the chain and push the hook through this chain link. Pull the yarn through the link, keeping the loop on your hook. This will result in three loops on your hook body. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first two loops, leaving two on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops, completing the stitch.
4.Filet Crochet/ treble
Filet crochet can produce a delicate lacy look, and seems complicated but really is a somewhat simple procedure. Create a chain the length of your project. On the third link from your hook, double crochet. After double crochet is done, chain once. Skip one chain link in the original chain and create a double crochet in the second chain link. Continue this procedure until the end of the row. This pattern will make a lacy, netlike piece, delicate and airy. It is also possible to create designs in the fabric, depending on where you put the holes and the stitches.

Reasons why I pick this one as my Best Project?
I really love handcrafting, because somehow it reflects my personality as well as my talent. At first, I didn't find hard doing our projects, I be able to finished my project on time. But, when we reach needlework we are require to choose two projects, and that involves crochet my weakness. I really thought that crochet would be easy for me, but my expectations were all wrong. I find it hard and I really feel that I'm going to surrender. But, because of the help of my friends and my determination to finish the project, I successfully learn how to crochet, although it's not good compared to others. Still I'm very proud of myself because I did not surrender doing the project.
