crochet anyone ?

Rummer

This thread seems to have gone very quiet. I have got all my bits and pieces and I have just completed my first two squares for my blanket! They are a bit wobbly however I am really pleased and once it is all sown together I am sure the flaws will vanish (ish)

LolaLemon; What a cute dino and turtle.

Rummer; Well done on your completing 2 squares. As you go along it will get easier and quicker :j. Looking forward to seeing your finished item.

I have oodles of squares now, although a friend pointed out I had missed the last stitch in each row so they all have a wavy edge! Not too bothered as they all look the same!

I went to a craft show yesterday and saw some examples of extreme crochet. Unfortunately there wasn't anyone demonstrating it, just knitting with big needles.

Has anyone ever done it, it looks fun

I've never heard of extreme crochet - it sounds like one of those really dangerous sports like extreme kayaking.

Sounds like Tunisian Crochet to me. Large hook, like a knitting needle. End result looks more like knitting, ideal for jumpers etc.

yes its a very large hook, but the crochet is still done the same with the one stitch unlike the Tunisian where I think you add more so its like knitting with one needle?

I looked on youtube and there is a demo with a bloke using a very big fat hook and he used 5 strands of wool and was just making a granny square, think I might have a go, if anything it would use up all my wool stash then I can buy some more
