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

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

    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?

    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 :shrug:

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

    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 :p x

    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
