Crochet

[wolflady]

I know already how to learn a crochet. Today, I work a crochet for shawl. It's very long when i will finish on few days. It's really a big shawl to me.

I've been trying to crochet since I was 9 or 10. But most of the stuff I try to make turns out curly on the edges. I've found the best thread for me to try to work with is 100% cotton (it's a little more forgiving than polyester or wool) Any suggestions?

Christy

I just finished a long scarf. I used the regular worsted weight yarn that you can buy for less than a dollar per skein. I used one skein of black and 1/4 of a double skein of hot pink. I crocheted it lengthwise instead of widthwise. I did a long chain (about seven feet or so) and then came back and did a double crochet and did a double crochet for five rows. Then I tied in my pink and did five rows of pink, then went and did one more of the black. So there's one wide black stripe running the length of the scarf, one hot pink one in the middle, and then another black one. I tied pink tassles under the black stripes and black tassles under the pink stripe. It turned out *so cute*! I've found also that by chaining one before turning your work and going back with the double crochet that your work won't curl as much. There's also another stich you can chain around the entire permimeter of your work, but I haven't learned that one yet. Also, keeping your stitches looser helps too.

I am working with this Lion Brand yarn called Polarspun. It's really beginning to frustrate me. I'm using a size Q hook (which I'm so not used to) and it's really fuzzy so it's next to impossible to see my top stitch. Grrrrr. Ah well, I shall persevere.

Oh! Does anybody know of a good crochet hat pattern, like the simple slip on hats that look like a tobagan. Thanks.

My mother taught me how to crochet when I was 7. I have been doing it ever since. I can not say that I am all that good at it. I can say however, that it is a good hobby to get involved in. I remember when I was learning. I would get so frustrated, and my mother would tell me. Have patients. You will get it. I would ask her how she knew I woudl get it and she would tell me, because you can do all things in Christ who strangthens you!

I love to crochet! Personally, I find it far more elaborate than knitting. But I do want to learn how to knit as well.

I love to crochet as well. Recently my grandmother has been trying to use up all her old yarn so I've had lots of fun learning some new patterns and trying new stiches!

BTW does anyone know an easy crochet mitten/glove pattern?

 

[barefeetonholyground]

Hi there all, haven't been to the forums in awhile and just stopped by today for some reading. I don't recall seeing a hobby forum before and how great to find a thread on one of my favorite subjects.
I've been crocheting for about 3 years now and love it. Everyone got afghans from me this past Christmas and I currently have 4 projects going. Does anyone else do this...too many going on at one. *grin*

There are so many patterns to be found online too

Hope to get to know a few other crocheters around here.

Koryu, try doing a google search for free patterns. There are tons out there.

I tried posting a few links for you but for now being so new I don't have enough posts to post links.

Thanks to all of you who have given me suggestions for the mitten/glove pattern. I did look at Wal-mart and all I found were knit patterns. I'll look online now. Thanks again!

My mother taught me to crochet...I've made a few slightly odd shaped things...lol

 

[shteffi]

I learned how to crochet a few years ago... and I can't stop, lol. I've got about 5 scarves lying around somewhere that I never wear, and some odd number of beanies.

anyone know any good sites for doggie booties? Knit or crochet, doesnt matter....

I've been crocheting for about 20 years. I love it! I just finished a scarf using the Lion Brand Fun Fur and Lion Brand Homespun, just using a P hook and single crochet. It's all fuzzy and fun. I've made several scarves this year. I am also working on a baby sweater, which will have booties and a hat to match. I find it fun and rewarding to give home made things as gifts. Most everyone absolutely loves them. I tend to get a lot of my patterns, not all, from the free leaflets at Wal-Mart and various other stores.

Keep crocheting all!
Cindy

I crochet. Wimpy knitting, that's what it is. I've tried knitting but I don't think it worked for me. I have made a few baby blankets and scarves, and am currently making beanie hats which seem to be a fad over here, and they sell well. I've crocheted since I was seven or eight. By the way, that's pronounced "kro SHAY"! And no, it's not related to croquet...though a croquet mallet might be mistaken sometime for a crochet hook. Or not. Anyway. Does anyone else crochet?
