crochet anyone ?

moments_of_sanity

Ladies, your projects are fantastic!

I have been trying to teach myself to crochet and whilst I can do the basic stitch I can't do anymore than the first row! I have watched various youtube videos but they haven't helped - can anyone recommend a good site please?

This is an old pattern my mum used when I was a baby and I've done it quite a few times over the years but still enjoy it

Well I have been experimenting again!! Lucy at attic24 has posted a fab pattern for daffs, and I kind of made up a primrose, I was going to make an Easter Wreath, but whilst in asda I saw they were selling yellow straw bonnets for £1!!!! so I got one, and i squished the crown in, plan was to put a candle in for a table centre, but candles and straw bonnet may not be a good mix!!! The I remembered that I have some coloured strandy packaing I kept from a parcel!! so have used the yellow and added some choccy eggs stitched on the flowers, It is still a work in progress just now!! but just had to share :j

these look super....
I have just been going through some papers that were my grandmothers, and have found some crochet patterns that must be from late 40's / early 50's....

Search out tjw1965 on you tube. She has slow videos with links to videos where she has slowed right down

I'd love to meet some local crocheters/knitters, well crafters I guess does anyone know of any forums/groups where I might be able to find this info, would be so nice to find a meet up or knit & natter etc

Thanks in advance

I love the clanger - do you have the pattern for it?

My mum made me one from an old sock as featured on Blue Peter but when I went to Uni I told her to throw away all my soft toys (me being a grown up then!). I missed it later and asked her if she happen to have kept it and she was really upset that she had taken me at my word.

I'm trying to get back into crochet and this would be a great thing to make

I finally got round to teaching myself basic crochet just before Christmas. I decided to do Granny squares and did a cot overblanket for my granddaughter. Not perfect but quite pleased with myself.
