    I've finally finished my "Mrs Weasley" type crochet sleeves, and am in the process of writing out the pattern! It's now up for sale :) and I've a list of lovely girls from USA wanting to buy it. SO proud of myself, just had to share.
  • Hi guys! exciting thread!! im getting inspired again.
    I wonder if any of you can help me. My problem is (and its the same with knitting) that i can do it- but ive been shown how to do it by someone else not from a book. So while I can just sit down and crochet a scarf....i cant read a pattern! So i want to learn how to make like a little rosette (saw instructions on the net) but i just cant understand all the numbers and abbreviations!! can anyone help?

    Jessica, have you had anyone contact you regarding help? Now that I've literally JUST finished typing up the pattern for the "Mrs Weasley" type crochet sleeves - taken me a MONTH so I'm feeling well chuffed with myself - I can probably spend a little time helping you if you need it.

    I self-taught as a teenager and still love doing it. I also embroider with a crochet hook - put sequins on etc, all with a crochet hook and using a chain stitch. And preferably on very thin materials e.g. silk, chiffon, etc.

    I can teach - any takers?

    I do the crocheting too, and have done since I was a little lass. I can only do squares though, but would love to make something more useful
