Anyone Else Crochet?

[Ldyjarhead]

Hi everyone, I'm brand spankin' new here.

I'm Marie Anne and one of my favorite hobbies is crocheting. I make baby blankets, full sized afghans, lapghans, scarves, kitchen sets (dishcloths, hot pads, placemats). I'm working on afghans and scarves now for a group I barter with and will be getting some nice Christmas presents.

Hi Marie! Welcome to CF!


Yes, I love to crochet and there are several other crocheters here.I like doing afghans, baby blankets and a few Christmas ornaments.

Welcome, I love to crochet. Right now I'm into making baby booties/caps.
I love easy patterns!

My mom taught me to crochet when I was younger, and I've always picked it up here and there. My problem is that I tend to stop midway and never finish! So, I have about three blankets that I should just put together...and *POOF* there's my blanket, eh?!

 

[BarbaraJean]

SnowDove, , I've done that too but only with smaller projects such as ornaments.

Another crocheter checking in. I make lots of blankets, baby caps and teddybears for charity. I also make sweaters for my children and LOTS of christmas gifts. so far for this year I have:

24 doilies of various sizes
4 hat/scarf sets
8 other scarves
3 pillows
1 table runner

I need to make another hat/scarf set, a CareBear, a skullie and a shrug.

I have recently gotten "hooked" on hairpin lace. It makes lovely lacy scarves and is soooo simple!

I am a crocheter. I have been working a lot this year so have not accomplished much, but I love it and it's so relaxing!!

I crochet now and then, but nothing really complicated. I can usually figure out complicated stitch patterns, but I haven't done anything shaped--just squares and rectangles (blankets, shawls, etc.). It's something for me to do while watching TV or movies. For some reason, I can't just sit there and watch anything; I need to have something to do, something productive.

I've always wanted to know how, just never took the time to learn...I guess maybe I should!!!

Hello, Im new here also and am loving it. I crochet my Grandmother taught me when I was 8 we spent alot of time together crocheting, sewing and baking goodies together all the while she taught me how God works in our lives.

I love to crochet! I knit as well. But when I knit, I prefer very simple stitches so that I can just relax and watch t.v. When I crochet, I love to challenge myself because it's so creative and fascinating. Right now, I am participating in a crochet-a-long where we are all making a filet fairy. The host of the crochet-a-long is Ferosa, who is also the designer and a very nice person. Her Web site is here if anyone reading this would like to join the crochet-a-long:

(just email her to ask about the fairy filet crochet-a-long)

Hi Marie Anne! I'm also a fellow crocheter! Right now I'm working on a single granny square afgan for my neice for Christmas. I'm hoping to find time (if I can get myself off off of this silly computer!) to finish it today. Then I'll make another for one of my sisters. In order to get my Christmas gifts done, I've put aside my own afgan (which by the way is the first thing I've made - ever - for myself!).

OH! I made my daughter the cutest poncho from a pattern I found on the Lion Brand website! They have tons and tons of free patterns - crochet and knit - on their site.

Welcome! I am a crocheter also. I enjoy making baby blankets and afghans. I give them as birthday presents. Right now I am finishing up a simple shawl for my sis-in-law. I have other blankets and afghans started, when I get bored with one, I pick up another. They seem to get done quicker that way.

 

[Organist]

I do crochet! I love making afghans, and doilies too. I also crochet dolls clothing. Also love to do embroidery, but have not done that one in a while. Perhaps I should get started with it again soon.

 

[Nflite]

I like crocheting blankies.
Especially in the winter.
Then you stay all nice and warm.

 

[Nflite]

Does no one else on CF crochet?

 

[dblwinner]

Hello, I'm new here too. I like to crochet. I prefer quick projects. I tried making a tablecloth once but it took too long and I got bored with it. I get a lot of my patterns off the internet.

 

[Chartreuse]

Howdy! Yep, I crochet. This time of year always makes me want to play with string.

I always start projects so haphazardly -- I think I mostly like buying yarn, and having yarn, and rolling around in yarn, and eating yarn -- no, wait, that's my cat who does that.

At present I'm involved in making sixty zillion little hexagons. Makes a great fidget while chatting online -- couple stitches, type a little, couple stitches -- next thing you know you have a stack of little wool pancakes that want to be an afghan.
