This past weekend I decided I would teach my friend Hetty how to crochet. I am a huge crochet enthusiast and love being able to spread my yarn hooking love with others! I have already attempted to teach both Jacqui and Lindsay crochet techniques and although I'm not sure either of them were quite as thrilled about hooking as I am, it is always a fun challenge! I really feel that crochet is easier to learn than knitting because if you screw up, you can just unpick a knot or two and try again (unlike when you mess up knitting and need to unravel a ton). Heck, if nothing else it's certainly a great way to spend a weekend afternoon with a pal!
The result? Hetty is a crochet queen! Once she got over the frustrating tension and first row problems she was on a roll. We've decided to make the boot cuffs I posted about last Tuesday together so I taught her how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, and work in spacing! She even whipped up a cute little hair bow out of one her single crochet practise runs and a bobby pin:
How cute is that? Heather is certainly a good sport when it comes to crochet and she's decided to practise up this week and weekend while she is out of town! What fun! Welcome to the world of yarn crafts Hetty - I hope you enjoy your stay!
CROCHET WOULD BE AWESOME...IF I KNEW MORE THAN THE ONE PATTERN YOU TAUGHT ME AND IF i COULD DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN A CIRCLE SCARF.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that as a challenge! More crochet time next time we are together!!
DeleteI'M NOT YELLING I FORGOT TO TURN CAPS LOCK OFF. TRICKY LITTLE BUGGER.
ReplyDeleteIt's great you were able to spread the yarn love! Her bow is so cute! I love to crochet and am trying to decide which yarn I want to make those boot cuffs with.
ReplyDeleteYour website is always a joy to read. Thank you for the reminder that with fall around the corner, it will be time to start crocheting again. My mom has been trying to teach me. Until I can make 10 granny squares, I can't move onto the next stitch.
ReplyDeleteI will be showing her the hair piece and hinting that can be done by me too.
It's nice to share crocheting with friends... Everytime I try to explain something to a non-crocheter they look at me like I'm speaking an alien language lol
ReplyDeleteThis is cute, reply to my text!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!
