Crochet

[MrsBop]

Just wondered if there's any other addicts out there?

I've not been crocheting very long but I love it, spent a fortune I've got loads of patterns to keep me busy, just wondered if anyone else loved doing it?

thought your thread looked loanly lol

i have just started trying to crochet. finding it hard at the moment as i cant get the hang of all the different stitches plus being a lefty doesnt seem to help either.

Am a knitter but considering doing crochet as it is faster and I like the patterns you can create, do you know any good websites for free patterns?

im not getting very far with the crochet as im a lefty

Well I did it, I am now crocheting and surprise surprise I am left handed, had to go onto Youtube to learn the left handed crochet, surprisingly easy...looking forward to my first creation...

Hello, there! ^_^!

I have been crocheting since I was a small child. I mostly make little stuffed animals (amigurumi), but I have recently taken to making hats. My first was for my OH. I have some baby projects on-the-go, now. Cute hats, little blankets, a little outfit, and the like.

My collections of yarns and other necessities have become too much to tote around with me, like I used to. (I recently took up embroidery, and need to find myself a travel kit!). But, I always make sure to have a piece or two with me. Good for the arthiritis, y'know. .

I cannot for the life of me get my head around crocheting... I can knit, but the only projects I've been patient enough to finish were scarves for my mum and grandad for Christmas... I tried making booties, but they always went wrong somehow

I really want to crochet, I generally know how, but it just never seems to work!

There are some great demos on Youtube which I have used to learn to crochet, I am a knitter too however I think Crochet is better, faster and more fun...x

 

[nightkd]

I've tried a LOT of demo videos and I still just don't get it Am I doomed to be crochetless?

this is the video i learned off, she does 5 lessons and by the end of them you'll know what youre doing

i love crocheting, i make all kinds of things, hats, blankets, cardigans, trousers, love it, so much easier than knitting, so much quicker, and so much easier to fix if you mess up x

thanks for the youtube tutorial link!

I just got hooked too (haha)

i made a little stuffed toy for my niece and now i just finished a headband and i'm on to trying a hat

 

[princessellie]

it is sooo easy to crochet, once you can do a few stitches you can pretty much do them all since they are all basically the same stitch with different amount of of yarn wrapped round the hook x

i can just about do granny squares, i struggle as im a lefty
