What I mean I can't follow a pattern because I don't know what my stitches are called. So I think I need a book for beginners to work out what exactly I'm doing.
But squares no problem and I've recently found out that squares like these are called Granny squares. This another project I've finished and I've started another in purples, my DD favourite colours.
Although I did try to work from a pattern and totally lost it when trying to work out how to do a cluster, well its now several square too late to work it out but I'm happy how they're turning out.
It will be another year before it will actually get finish but for now its a welcome change from cross-stitch.
Lovely crochet work Debby...something I can't seem to do...just what you need this weather to keep you warm

ReplyDeletelove it Debby, I am the same as you, I learnt when I was very young but only going round and round a blanket, I don't know where to start! I am determined to master it this year though!

Ha Ha, I did laugh Debby cos' I am exactly the same. Have been crochering since I was about 12 and the only thing I ahve ever done are squares which I sew together and make blankets, for ever occasion. My Nana, My Baby Neice, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am very quick, but can't follow a pattern either.
Your blanket is just gorgeous. Debbiex
Gorgeous blanket, Debby, and I'd say you don't need to be able to follow a pattern, you're doing just fine without one :) However, if you are determined to learn more you could check out some of the great videos on YouTube - that's where I went when I took up the crochet hook after a break of more than 20 years and it really helped. Hope you have a happy Easter weekend. Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteOh Debby, I remember learning to crochet and knit before I could do much else! I was always fascinated seeing my mum do stuff, and insisted I had my own tapestry kits and cross stitch kits all before I was ten years old! lol :)
ReplyDeleteLike you I can do granny squares (with my eyes shut) but my mum used to do all the cotton crochet doilies and they were just beautiful :)
Love your cosy blanket - I could do with that now! :)
Happy Easter hun!
hugs

Well done Debby,gorgeous cozy blanket..I have one my Grandmother made, need not say how old it is..lol..but I think they are wonderful on the sofa, love your colours..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Love those blankets. I used to do them as a teenager - the limit of my crochet too. But we called them Peggy Squares. My grandmother's name was Peg - perhaps that is why we called them that lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Debby and I am sure it will become a treasured heirloom.

How fabulous Debby. I love crocheted blankets and this one is gorgeous. Great colours. I made about 45 years ago and it's still in use today - on the back of my sofa at present.
