crochet for beginners


crochet for beginners, originally uploaded by summer pickles.

I'm trying out a new craft!!

Thanks Mum for the lessons and thanks Readers Digest Complete Guide to Needlework (thrifted, and fabulous!) for helping the lessons "stick"!

I intend to have this ready, and proper blanket size, by the time baby pickles the second arrives... too ambitious for a new craft??? I have til May....?

I am soooo incredibly proud of this effort, but, please, please don't look too closely!

I've got '1100 Stitches Patterns and Knitting Crochet Basic Techniques' from the op shop to learn crochet. Everyone can do it so well, but I've got an epic fail in my hands and brain.

I've tried a few options and still... it's SO hard!

Yours looks great! Love the shapes you've got there!
