Does anyone crochet

scotkat when you do 6 trebles do it 3 treble then 3 ch and 3treble and will give you the corners without puling it tight

 

I have progressed from hats and scarves to my own poncho I am in the middle of making .

Before start knee blankets for the local hospice.

 

Anyone else into crochet or knitting be nice to see your projects.

 

Thats nice scotkat and i like the colour i have 4 balls of wool still to finish a blanket then i will take a photo of it..i should have finished it months ago but i dont allways feel like doing it..but must make an effort to get it finished..

 

Wildflower how long in length would you make poncho,bearign in mind I am wee petite of 5ft.Dont want it too long.

 

Nice poncho you are making there scotcat... I wouldn't go too long if I was you as the shape seem to be quite roundish and the pattern quite compact.
Will you finish it with long fringes or no fringes?

 

Just finished crocheting knee blanket for local hospice.Enjoyed making this nice cheery citrus blanket .

Miraflore needed to put poncho on hold to get hospice blanket finished.

Think I will do a shell finish stitch insead of fringes.

 

scotkat..sorry i didnt see your question sooner about the poncho size i havnt got a clue ..i suppose you just measure yourself where you want it to come too.. :confused: :confused:

 

scotkat i hope you dont mind but i have got 2 books on crochet i would like to send you 1 is i taught myself to crochet it has got afghans init i think they might help you

 

Well thankyou High kype I will pm you.

The hospice liked the cheerful blanket this morning.Took me one week to finish.

 

Thats lovely and the colours are brilliant wish you would finish my blanket !!i have gone right off crocheting at the moment..

 

How did I do for a beginner wildflower,have I impressed you it was real pleasure making.

 

That's lovely, Scotkat. Same colours as you! :D

It looks like you've done it in the shell stitch. That's a stitch I like for blankets and they go very quickly.

Do you go look in the charity shops for the yarn?

Well done you!

 

I did but they did no thave any wool so went into our local wool shop an dfell in love with these colours my citrus grove

A neighbour gave me two bags of wool as a donation.Hospive relies on donations of wool.

LOL you should have been lime under my orange and the three of us would be matching

 

Now started another blanket for hospice a different pattern this time its a ripple pattern.

Colours I have are blues so imagine this as sea waves.These were the colours that was in the bag I got from a neighbour.Thought wehn I coem to th eedgign could use white and sometiems if you walk along th ebeach you can get foam.

Maybe the edging could be a shell then it would be sea shells.
