I got this book. Do NOT waste your money on it Theres 190 pages, lots of pictures of stuff other people did, but only about 18 things to do, and none of them the nice ones as shown as examples. In short, it sounds like there should be so much information but, for the most [...]

So. I had another go. I got the pattern I tried for this time. I also didn’t start the way they said. But I wove the yellow in and out of the red which gives a much nicer start in my opinion. Again. Sorry for the phone camera pictures. Its easier and quicker for little [...]

So. I have to say. I didn’t do the pattern I was trying to do. It sounded simple on paper. But this wasn’t it. I can however see roughly where I went wrong. It was supposed to be a zigzag, this is actually a variant on one called bargello, eg, I got it wrong. Will [...]

So, now I have finished sewing the ends in Petey’s blanket, I wonder what to make next. I did get me this Which is a book about doublesided blankets, the premise is simple enough. May have to give it a go.

I wish I had enough money to give up working and crochet for a living – much as I stuff up and its annoying occasionally nothing like the stress of being at work. But and heres the issue: A 6ft by 4ft blanket, costs only around 14 odd pounds to buy the wool. However, if [...]

OK, my crochet has been rapidly driving me mad, at most in this pattern I will have 21 balls of wool on the go. Now, while thats a bucket load of ends and colour swapping, this isnt the problem, the problem really is 21 balls of wool rolling round the floor with dogs wanting to [...]
