jessie15

Well i have nearly finished my Blooming flower cushion (pattern from Attic24) just need to sew together and buy some padding for it (I will post a picture as soon as its done). Just done a tester of Attic24's ripple pattern and after a couple of goes i have got it!!! I am so pleased its absolutely lovely, just cant decide whether to do a cushion or to go for it and do a blanket........

To think i couldnt crochet a couple of weeks before Christmas (I have now made a Granny Square blanket for my mum and a cushion) and now i cant put it down, i really am hooked!!!!!!!!!!!! For anyone thinking of giving it ago PLEASE DO!!!!!

Well Done Jessie15, it really does get hold of you doesn't it :rotfl::rotfl:I'm pleased you got on OK with the ripple pattern too.

If it's of any help, I bought a round feather filled cushion pad from Dunelm Mill to fill my Blooming Flower Cushion, it wasn't expensive either.

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Even more lovely items :j

I need to get back into making the granny squares or this blanket will never get finished!

I am trying to teach myself how to do Granny squares, I learnt how to do the chain stitch today, but now utterly confused.

Do you know how to treble? I find it hard to make granny squares using one continous colour, I find it far easier to change colour on each new round. Let us know what you are finding tricky and we can try to help

I have got as far as the chain stitch and then I get confused what to do next. :eek:

Put your hook through the first chain stitch and pull the yarn through both loops on your hook to create a ring. Chain three and then do two triple crochet into the middle of the ring you have created.

Thank you will try that tomorrow

It took me ages to get my head around granny squares but now I find them very relaxing and make loads of them, so do keep trying! Just post again if you need help and we can maybe give you links to other sites of video clips that may help.
