:: I’m hooked!

Crocheted blanket

So, on Christmas Eve I learnt to crochet. My auntie taught me, because we’re both left-handed and we do it all backwards and upside down but the results are just as good! I really like crochet - it’s quicker than knitting, so you can see results much sooner, and I’m loving the new patterns that I can make with yarn. I tried a few granny squares, learnt to make circles (resulting in a rather fetching but quite random bowl), then got on with the baby blanket above for my friend’s impending arrival. I’m pleased with it, though some of my stitches are a bit loose; I’ll work on my tension for my next effort.

After hooking with my auntie, I’m all excited for some crocheting friends, so whether you’re a newbie or a pro, please drop me a comment!
