Re: Anyone Crochet?
Hi Jean, yes I crochet, I'm working on a blanket at the moment, hopefully one day it will be big enough for my bed!Re: Anyone Crochet?
I love to crochet . I have made two large blankets during lockdown both the size of a double bed . They are made of colourful “Granny “ squares all sewn together . The latest project is a large blanket in only black and white . Every square the same . It’s going to be 224 squares and I have made 107 so far . As all the squares are the same I am sewing this one up as I go along . I am completely hooked on my crochet !Re: Anyone Crochet?
Oh wow ladies, well done you allRe: Anyone Crochet?
I can read patterns but not the diagram ones. I have no idea what the symbols mean.Re: Anyone Crochet?
I crochet but mostly just baby blankets made from granny squares and a couple of small blankets (knee warmers!). I taught myself years ago but am left handed so struggled with the diagrams Took it up again when first grandchild was on the way 9 years ago.Re: Anyone Crochet?
I can crochet but haven't done so since being in my early teens. My Aunt taught me. She used to make beautiful lace tablecloths. It seemed so easy then, but I think I'd struggle taking it up again now. Particularly with the repetitive nature and close work. I'd be worried about my wrist as I used to do a lot of mouse work years ago and it's a weak spot. I'm sure it's very addictive and enjoyable though. The great thing with crochet is you see the results right away and it's a bit like a paintbrush where you can create as you go.
