Been busy with the crochet hookRe: Been busy with the crochet hookI have crochet a double bedspread in dishcloth cotton. It is truly beautiful, although I say it myself. But boy is it heavy We have it in the spare bedroom as it is like a workout taking it on and off the bed.

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Been busy with the crochet hookAm on my second one
I got 200gs of baby double knit for £2.99 each, from Aldi is that a reasonable price, makes the blanket very reasonable in outlay, and I don't charge myself by the hour
Re: Been busy with the crochet hookThat's lovely - you can get some good bargains with the yarn in Ald*

They have lots of sewing and knitting bits in at the moment Re: Been busy with the crochet hook I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I have about 12 little middles that I have abandoned as I haven't a clue what I am doing. They have all turned out different shapes too

I remember the first of a pair of bootees I tried to knit for my 1st son, it went on the fire LYN
Re: Been busy with the crochet hookThat is very lovely, Perchy. Well done.
For anyone in particular ? Helen, it is trial and error. Once you get the corners in the right place, you will be away. I also find booties very fiddley. http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Been busy with the crochet hookWell, you all inspired me so much that I gave it another go - I undid it 11 times and have been at it for over 2 hours.
So, roundish is the new square I am not sure this is for me - but I so want it to be Helen xx

Re: Been busy with the crochet hookI got a book - think its called Rowan Crochet workshop and it has very good photo's - I think eventually you just "see" the square and know when you have to make a corner and then you think why did I find it so hard? That's not much help is it
There's some good instructions here with photo's which might help http://www.littletinbird.co.uk/basic-gr ... e-pattern/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Julie
“cockerels may crow but it's the hen that lays the egg." Re: Been busy with the crochet hookWow, thanks Julie - that makes it look so simple and I am nearly late for work now as I got so engrossed in it!!
I asked my 5 year old grandaughter if she would like my bit of crochet for a blanket in her dolls house and she said 'No, it's rubbish' I was laughing so much I had tears running down my face. Helen xx
