Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

A Busy week

I'm sorry I have been quiet this week but I have been a bit busy



In fact it might have become a bit of an obsession





I have practised alot....

 and probably have enough for a small blanket 



Then I wanted to try something else so I found the BEST book ever for learning Crochet


I have read loads of Crochet books and they all have the same diagrams which I find confusing but this book was just wonderful, clear pictures with clear instructions.

So I attempted a small sample of Double crochet
 Sorry its a sideways picture...



then I attempted a small sample of Triple crochet


The book is great, it shows you how to do double, triple and circles as well as increase and decrease then has little projects which are toys and a bag which use all the techniques learnt. So I attempted a small bag which was just a rectangle of triple crochet


        I must have dropped a stitch as it is certainly not a rectangle but not bad for a first attempt.
This was all packed into my bag to take to the 2nd crochet class where I was sure to be the class swot.
