Crochet anyone???

Claireack

This might not be for everyone, but I've recently started doing crochet. I have so far made three hats; here's 2 of them (the 2nd hat didn't go so well).



If anyone wants to post anything that they have done I would be grateful. Also I'm open for good easy patterns.

mickeyrat

my bad. I thought you meant crotches. my mind goes there sometimes.

nice work though.

catefrances

i was thinking hedgehogs and flamingoes.

Claireack

mickeyrat - I have a knitting pattern for a bikini if that would help?

cate - I could crochet the hoops but can't manage a hedgehog or flamingo yet

eMMI

It's been too long since I've done this.. :think:

I used to crochet somewhat a lot, but not a lot of wearable things, mainly just for the fun of it. I used to knit too, I wonder if I still know how to.

I'm going to try and do something over than hats, the one I didn't put in the picture went wrong and it reaches my nose. I'm quite enjoying doing it when watching telly, feels like I'm not wasting so much time.

I know the feeling.

Maybe I should try making a hat..? I've given it a go a while back, but it didn't really.. Yeah.. :?

eMMI - I keep wearing the greeny/blue hat loads, even though I have had a few disapproving looks. But I do like hats.

Disapproving, schmizzafloovin! It does look rather nice.

Claireack

Thank you!

I will definately continue to wear it! The other one is more for summer. Think I'm going to try a skinny scarf next.

Those are so cool Claireack ... I love the blue one,I love hats. ... I don't crochet or knit but I have made a few hats from fabric,mostly velvet and cord.

Well done,if you make too many and want to make a wee profit P.M me :thumbup:

Currently working on a round cushion, which seems to have developed a strange lump in the middle. Mmmmm, not sure why.

I sew, wish I knew how to crochet.

I only taught myself since Christmas, undone rather a lot and re-did it, but it's not that hard to the basic stuff (which is all I've done so far).

I recommend this book Claire:


Made a few projects from it....and several others...i have a few 'works in progress', but having lots of pets and a 'needy grown man' does not help with my 'crocheting to relax' time :(

nice job, Claire!

ShimmyMommy

Yes, great work! I wish I was brave enough to try again. My Oma had to fix and finish my messed up projects. :oops: :?

I can whip up a mean granny square...but I have not really done anything since I made a blanket for my first born (almost 13 years ago). I should try hats. I have seen some cute ones my daughters might wear.

I work with a kid who wears croched minidresses to the office.

I would advise her to tighten up the thread a bit.

Most definately!!

I've got a knitting pattern for a bikini - maybe I could send it to her?

Oh please don't!!!

But if you have something in a muumuu she should consider it.

This maybe?

Great work on the hats ~ I especially like the ivory one! I've always wanted to learn how to crochet or knit. I bought a scarf starter kit years ago, although I have yet to start!
