Been busy with the crochet hookRe: Been busy with the crochet hookI thought at the time it was a little tight, and it went from square to round.
I will try again another day. Helen xx

Re: Been busy with the crochet hookHas it only got three corners or started out with four and lost one on the way? Anyway whatever you've done it's a lovely colour - cant you put it on one of the chickens heads and take a picture .. it would look adorable ..

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Been busy with the crochet hookI know!! But I don't know how I went wrong. I did what they said ( I think!!!)
Join yarn (new colour) 1ch, 1 dc into same place (easy), 1dc into each tr and 1 ch sp of previoius round. I have highlighted the only bit I could have gone wrong in. Wheere it says INTO each treble - I did it sort of between each treble not actually into it. How do you go INTO a treble? If someone has a clue and can let me know, am going to try again either tonight or tomorrow night, and then if it goes wrong again I will be begging for more help! Helen xx

I am really about to lose the enthusiasm to do this anymore.

My mother taught me to knit and crochet, I taught mine, girls and the boys. To help me read a pattern and do fancy stitches I went to an evening class. May be worth thinking about if you really want to get into crochet 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 hookI think you are right Wendy. I need someone with the patience of a saint to watch me and show me what I am doing wrong.

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Been busy with the crochet hookYou maybe giving more advice Wendy, my mrs bought some crotchet paraphanalia today, she recons her mam showed when she was a a young girl, I,ve been married to her for 32 years and this is the first time I have heard this, i,ve certainly never seen her knit or do anything "crafty". She going to practice tonight, should be intersting.
Dont ever grow up, its a trap
Re: Been busy with the crochet hookOk, so my daughter came round for supper and I showed her the hamster hat with ear flaps. I also got an order from my grandson for another so they can be made into ear muffs (Not that I would ever be able to make one the same again!) Anyway, in under an hour she had produced what I have been trying to make for days. The photo shows it, with my hamster hat on a 'Wallace' salt pot, and my latest reworked attempt. I have decided I need a brain transplant. Helen xx

“cockerels may crow but it's the hen that lays the egg." Re: Been busy with the crochet hookThat is very generous of you!
I think maybe I need a day or two's break, before I attempt it again! And then another day or two before I chuck my crochet hooks into the pond. Helen xx
