Turn Turn Turn The Crochet Hook

[kerravonsen]

I have accomplished crochet!
Using the largest crochet hook I have (19mm) and chunky yarn, this scarf worked up pretty quickly. And it is fluffy and soft...



It's actually two kinds of yarn which happened to have the same colour schemes; the yarn at the edges is an odd mix of "bobble" yarn and eyelash yarn, while the yarn in the centre is "Chenille" yarn (very soft and furry).

I think I should go back to where I bought this yarn and see if they have any left in a different colour.

It took me a while to get the hang of it at first, but now it's my favourite craft, because I find it rather relaxing (as well as it being portable and something I can do while chatting to people).

Do you learn best from books, from lessons, or from videos? I'm sure there's a vast array of how-to-crochet videos on YouTube.

Sis has promised to teach me... we've just never got round to it yet.

I can knit, and very well, and do blackwork (though the eyes aren't so keen on that these days)

You will just have to make a date. Like this Christmas holidays.

Blackwork?

Blackwork embroidery, I got interested through seeing it on historical costumes and did quite a bit of it. Fiddly, but very beautiful.

Ah, interesting.
