Crocheters? (2)

[FatherHaveMercy]

Eventually but normally it was just something to do while I could not sleep.

I usually get kinda uppity lol I like the idea of what I'm making

Hey all, I've been crocheting for over 35 years. If your gauge is loose, it's the way you hold the yarn. Remember one hand is like the tension spool on a sewing machine, particularly the index finger. Practice wrapping the yarn certain ways in your recessive hand and you can gauge the tension you need for even stitches

The afghan sounds really great!

God willing in the summer I will be able to return back to it.

Thanks for this, Ruthie! I might try this out as I've had to get by in the past with changing my needle sizes.

I'm currently making baby leg warmers for my new nephew. I finished some duck bowling pins for my daughter for Easter as well as an owl pillow. Not sure what I will tackle next.

Do you have any pics? The duck bowling pins sound really cool.

Here are the duck bowling pins.

They look brilliant! I love your owl pillow too.

Did you make them from a pattern?

Alas I can only make anything like that from patterns.

 

[emullins]

Thank you. Yes they are from a pattern. I usually need a pattern. There has only been a few small things I have made without.

 

[Lotuspetal_uk]

Yes, me too. When I did a baby Afghan I got the stitch pattern from a book but then ran with it (during my sleepless nights those years ago ).

I'd love to get to the point when I can just create things.

I've never made anything with a pattern, I wish I could understand the patterns

I've always done my own but they always look plain but colorful lol

Some are a little confusing but once you get the hang of it you will never have any problems understanding any patterns. Sometimes I would google what I didn't understand. If you ever need help just ask and I'll be more than happy to help out.

I found a bunch of new cute patterns I'm going to make. I will share once I have finished.

I need to make a baby blanket for my lil bro and sil 's baby but we don't know the sex and she doesn't like yellow. Shame to I always thought yellow was a cute color, maybe because I had a yellow one as a child lol
