crochet anyone ?

Raksha

Inspired by you ladies and Deramores offer for the Attic24 Lucy pack, I've started my first blanket. I'm loving it. The yarn is so soft and easy to work, its a pleasure.

Just one question - how do you prevent your hook slipping out when you put your work down for a moment?

Thanks, I've had them on the cake plate at work and everyone who has came in has asked me how i got my icing soo strong, as they thought I had baked them I sent them through the post to a wee girl, soo hopefully they dontget squashed too much.

Help, I want to do a large granny blanket in one colour, and be able to go round and round, all the tutorials show just doing small squares, any ideas on how I can just go round and round until I do enought until finished.

Thanks in advance

Just follow the tutorial for the small squares but don't finish off just keep going building round upon round.

thanks for your comments, but i am trying to get away from doing the slip stitches at the end of each round.

You can do it as a continuous spiral, I've currently got a similar blanket on the go... I'll try and find the link I used as a tutorial, or I'll try to explain it, hold on...
