As I said, it's the turn of crochet again but this time I'm trying something other than amigurumi. I revived my Ravelry account and had a browse of patterns before settling on this Hook Monster Crochet Case. I made two in the space of a week, mainly because they're easy and don't need me to keep count of stitches or rows, just carry on until it looks to be the right size for my hooks.
Next I want to have a go at a Mobius pattern I found on Ravelry and yesterday I detoured to Texere Yarns after work to get something chunky to work with. I came away with this:-
A Google search for how to crochet with Sirdar Firefly turned up a pattern for this beautiful shawl which is now also on my to make list, I just need another couple of balls first. Maybe another trip to Texere Yarns but more likely a browse at Purple Linda Crafts cause they do afghan hooks too.
As is usually the case with my crafts though, I seem to spend more time online reading about it, talking about it or shopping for it than I actually spend doing it. This has been no exception and this week I have spent a good hour or more watching YouTube videos on making granny squares. The instructions seem straightforward enough, as do the video but I've tried and frogged many attempts this week. I'm just going to have to get a real live person to show me.#
That's enough rambling for one evening. I might just go and pick up my hook now and start actual crafting.
