Does anyone crochet

Lovely tops, LoL, do you have a favourite...?

 

Well done so far Scotkat. And great job LoL.

 

Thank you, miraflores and it's difficult. I'm a "green" person so like the halter top but here in the heat the red/orange backless (just ties at the waist) is nice. I also like the pink/green one (one of my favourite colour combos and strangely my school uniform colours! :eek: ) as it's low back and has a shell border on the bottom ... but also like the one to the left. It's very comfortable to wear and also has the shell border on the bottom.

Thank you as well, luckyboo!

 

HI everyone update on my crochet well what a mess .
jus tcould no tget this pattern to work out.

I wen tto our local church hall this afternoon as there was craft class on so bought more wool and if I cna master this hat only cost me �£1.25.

Dendy sent me a copy of a Patons hat pattern so can understand this.

But I had acourse on untill 7.00pm then it was my dance nigth as you all know I am learning to ballroom dance with my h.

So I drove there after my course so not long home.

I did say to the ladies I will go back to their craft class its mainly knitting and patchwork.

I really would be like to be abl eto crochet a shrug for myself so they said they would help me or guide.

So all is working out.

What a very wet afternoon it has been today.LOL nice tops.

 

Dendy sad as it is took started to crochet in bed after I finished reading.

My husband does not get home until Sat.

When he is away I have problems trying to slee p then it catches up with me.

But that wee bit of tution from craft class was enough to set me on my way.

Its even looking like a hat and ony on my 5th rnd.

So maybe yes I will be able to crochet a shrug.

A nice winter project for everyone when weather turns nasty.

A lot of nice colours of wool in the shops.

And at �£1.25 a cheap hat could have a colour for each day. I am so happy.

 

I am absolutely sure that in the end you will manage to crochet the hat and the shrug, at least one if not more than one. The only thing is to take it in bits. If you are too tired or unhappy with how the work is proceeding leave it aside and don't rush it or get angry over it. And then the day after or maybe two days after you pick the right moment in the day to look at it again and read again the instruction to see whether it makes sense.
For instant my approach to crochet etc is a bit wild in the sense that I find it easier to make things by myself than following the instructions, but nevertheless if I can give you a hand...

 

Dendy here is hat nearly finished witt the pattern you sent me.



Just started it this afternoon it has been a dreich dark wet day so was a fine day to crochet.

Much easier pattern to follow. :D

 

Dendy thankyou for pattern its all finished and fits.

Just to make the flowers petals got wool left to make scarf to match.

Got pattern for leg warmers as well remembr yrs ago wore leg warmers.

I am so pleased have got new hobbie and found a crochet web site crochetville thanks all for help.

 

Hat finished worn it today now making a spiral scarf to match my hat I am now hooked.

 

Excellent!! And in ideal weather to test the thing - bet you were proud of yourself! Hooked - oh dear.... :rolleyes: :D

 

Here is my finished hat and scarf and th eone above multi colour is a christmas gift to my hairdresser.

Now a friend has aslo asked if I will crochet her a pink sparkle scarf.

 

Well done Scotkat, you are sure to be as snug as a bug this winter.

 

May I present you with my compliment Scotcat for the excellent choice of colours and combination of colours of the brown/blue set (which is also in fashion). That brown doesn't say much in itself but I know that it looks beautiful on a fair complexion, even better if the colour of your eyes matches the blue tones.

 

Thankyou I really have got the bug now. :D

 

Got three moe scarfs on th ego and another hat and scarf to make for a friend.

Plus got to xmas froral arrangements to get made for next Thursday and make a start in writing christmas cards out.

Not enough weeks left now.

How does everyone else feel. Been a quick year and I have to make family wreaths for the cematray.
