crochet anyone ?

MrsCD

Happy New Year everyone!

Lovely makes Jumblejack and OrkneyStar - well done :T

I've started on the pompom wool baby blankets - I bought 12 balls for £10.99 in Hobbycraft before Christmas and really need to get cracking! I should get 2 blankets out of 12 balls with hopefully some to spare.

I'm still failing at crochet, feel like I really need someone to show me in person. The terminology confuses me and I'm finding it hard doing everything right handed (I'm a lefty).

Hi CompBunny. There are lots of tutorials on youtube especially for left handed people.
Here's a link Beginners lefthand crochet


Hope it helps. You will get it, don't give up

Lovely makes Orkney and Jumblejack :T

I discovered an all in one flower granny square last night.

I had to make one to test it out:

Quick chunky crochet hat- so easy (pattern here).

Jumping in here to say I crochet as well.

Instead of making blankets or wash cloths, I've fallen in love with doll making and amigurumi figures.

Here are a few photos of my dolls if anyone would like to see them.

10th Doctor and a kilted cuddly.


Cuddly Jack with John Barrowman:


I have others, I just don't want to bore anyone.

You should sell those on ebay, there are masses of Doctor Who fans out there.

They are brilliant! Did you give that one to John Barrowman to keep? Please keep posting - you won't bore anyone

Mrs_T_M they are brilliant!! Please show us more pics, not at all boring.
I'm trying to make a minion from the kids film Despicable Me at the moment and having great fun but ground to halt cos need more black wool and cant get to shops with 2 poorly children at mo

Been finishing some sewing projects instead until got stressed with DS crying near me that I broke my only double needle for machine so need to get another one of those when I can get out again :mad:

Love the squares JumbleJack and thats another lovely hat Orkneystar.

CompBunny

Mrs_T_M those are AWESOME! So impressed! How much do you tend to sell them for? Well done on getting so many in pics with the stars! I particularly like David Tennant's doctor doll And Gwen with Jack, great pic

Everyone on here is posting some really lovely creations

Those dolls are lovely! Well done.

I am just wondering how to work out how much crochet I will get from a ball of wool? At the moment I am using guesswork but I think my luck will run out soon. Any help would be appreciated please
