crochet anyone ?

Hi folks have been reading your thread for a while now and was inspired to give crochet a go. I have been crochetting for about a year but have got a bit stuck with my latest creation ......Please can some translate this for me..... It is from partway through the pattern in inside crochet for the Moomin/Snorkmaiden pattern.

It is at the point of joining the nose to the body but I cannot get what it is asking me to do no matter how many times I read it!!!

Line up last round of nose with body (this bit I get)
Work 30dc along nose, miss first twelve stitches of body, work 1dc in last 28 stitches along body. Sew up 12 stitch gap between nose and body, then carry on working in rnds along outer edge -58 sts

Hi jagbeth1.
I don't have the pattern but looking at the picture on the website it seems as though you crochet along the top of the nose if you hold it in place beside the body. Then you crochet around the back of the head and continue on those stitches. When you sew the bottom of the nose on to the front of the body it looks more like a moomin should.
At least that's how it reads to me.
Let me know if it makes sense reading it this way.

There is a cute penguin mug cosy pattern on the hobbycraft website, would be a lovely Xmas gift http://blog.hobbycraft.co.uk/how-to-crochet-a-penguin-mug-cosy/ I do wish I could do more than a chain stitch.

This thread has been quiet for a while. I have just finished a scarf and am working on a few different projects at the moment including a complicated shawl, a seemingly never ending blanket and another easy scarf as my out and about project.

The plan is to also make a few toys when I have some spare time.

scmp I would love to do a Lucy blanket, but I'd never get anything else finished! Will you post a picture when it's done?

Hi How are you all getting on?

I'd love to see some of your makes if anyone has any photos?

Me, I'm in the middle of a very very large crochet blanket which I am making king size and I'm using Aran wool to do it with!

It's keeping me lovely and warm while I work on it! lol

First big project of the year. I've just started making this..

I was making a few cat blankets for a local rescue out of all my leftovers, but will have a little break from those for a while. I wanted something i have to think about a little bit.
Not using two colours though. I have several skeins of a nice, chunky blue that i got ages ago that i never got around to using. So we'll see how it goes.

The first meet up for the year of our little crochet group is this week. Can't wait.

scmp. I'm 34 and hooked (pardon the pun)on crochet too. I think there are quite a few younger people getting into crochet now.
