Learning to crochet

Arkonite Baby I started off with black and it was hopeless but when I changed to a pale blue I could see the stitches much more easily. You should try Mrs Tines blanket (Pg 16) as a change from granny squares, I know I got to the point of launching them across the room:mad: but found the blanket much easier and I think practising the stitches will help when I go back to the dreaded granny squares!

Has anyone else subscribed to The Art Of Crochet? I'm wondering if I should have received parts 2&3 by now....it seems a long time ago that I got part1! (Shhh...TBH, I'm probably going to stop the subscription once the freebies come )

I've subscribed and received parts 2 & 3 a couple of weeks ago, although from what I've read/heard they've had alot of subscribers and are struggling to get the issues sent (dont know how true that info is!). Maybe send them an email or call customer services. You will need your customer number which is one the subscription letter.

I have to say though I'm a little disappointed in how slow they are, I'm waiting for 4 & 5 which have already been in the shops and 6 is due out shortly - with my other magazine subscriptions I receive them before they hit the shops.

Hi all, Been following this thread since it began. Such lovely items you have all made. I dont have much time to post as I run a little craft and gift shop. I am currently crocheting a pig and thoroughly enjoying it. I would like to ask you all does anyone know anything about starting a design team. I see on alot of peoples blogs, Mainly card making that people are on a design team. I.e They make things for the company and send them in for owners to showcase their goods. Not sure if I'm making any sence lol. The reason I ask is I could do with some help making Crochet Items to show and sell in my shop as I just dont get time to cover everything we sell but dont know what I have to offer to anyone. Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone knows what i'm going on about or could help can you pm me please. Thanks so much.
