I have crochet envy
Can you believe that this was made by an 86 year old lady who suffers terribly with arthritis!Apparently crocheting actually helps her joints. So with any luck her making this for me has made her feel alot better!
I've had a visit from my mum aswell today and she has taught me something new
Look!
Better than a triangle isn't it! The only thing is that my mum started it off and I continued it once she showed me what I was doing. So I have to now try and start it myself and see if I can get the same result.
Just out of interest for those who crochet, do you do it loosely or quite tight? I'd not realised that I do mine pretty tight and if you look on the picture, you will see that my crocheting is more to the right side and my mums to the left. I was using a plastic hook and different wool so it might have something to do with that, but I had never even thought about how I was actually crocheting.
I'm off to experiment!

Oh I love that blanket! Really nice. I love crochet, but find I get more frustrated with it than knitting, as I have to look at what I am doing the whole time (when knitting I can read or watch TV too). I find that unless I think about it, I tend to crochet too tightly - I have to make an effort to relax and pull the yarn through just a little bit more each time. As you do more, you get into a rhythm with it.
What a gorgeous blanket!! Love it a lot and what a wonderful gran you have.
She made you a great blanket!
