Does anyone else do crochet?

[MellyMJ]

Just wondering if anyone else likes crochet. I have been crocheting for years. I especially like fillet crochet. Interested to know if anyone else is interested also. My newest project is a burgundy and cream colored block afghan. So far it is coming along nicely. I'll probably post pictures and directions on my website when I am done.

i am just well in the learning process, a friend taught me donkeys years ago but i could only go in a circle lol, i have tried again, and i am now making a blanket with hundreds if squares, about 1/4 of the way to a double bed sized lol, its one of those things i pick up when i can't be bothered to sort other things out, or i do at work in my lunch half hour lol

i can only do the one stitch so far, but would love to learn more.

Hi all

I crochet (and knit). I make crochet bags and throws to sell, and also make toys from time to time. I'm quite an impatient person which is one reason why I love crochet - I can see it growing very quickly!

Hi
I crochet too. For now I am only making stuffed toys or cute little things. I tried crochetting a bikini once, it came out all right but I didn't use the right type of cotton (meaning that the bikini weighed a ton once wet, not a very nice sight!!) :p

I love to crochet, I also knit, weave, spin etc, so learning to crochet was invaluable to me as a new way to use my handspun!

I think I prefer it over knitting at times, it's easier to handle big items definately!

I have been full of cold and feeling miserable all weekend :mad:

So I have finally taught myself to crochet!!! (well the basic stitches) and I'm loving it!

Have knitted from a young age, (not very well!) but never got into crochet? Anyway, I think its great! and really like the way you feel more involved with the process than with knitting. (or is that just me?)

I will have to post a picture of my first attempt when I'm finished ;) ... am trying to make a little purse for Emma

[italianchildhood]

I crochet too! I tend to make smaller things, not really big projects. I have been making little purses. Fun!

[emopenguintoast]

I crochet quite a bit!

I love making quick things
like bags and plushies and I think I may start an afghan.

I like to crochet as well. I'm not that good at it yet, but i can make bear soft toys :)

I've tried and tried to learn to crochet - I even bought myself an idiot's guide (obviously not suitable for an idiot like me!), I can do chains then it all goes pear shaped:sm:

I can knit basic stuff like scarves and gloves but crochet has beaten me;)

I crochet as well. My favourite things to make are baby outfits (which usually end up on my daughter's dolls), frilly baby hats, peaked caps (which I ended up having to make for the other 6 girls in my daughter's class after she told them all I would make them one) and scarves.

I do plan on trying my hand at bags in the near future.

I've noticed that crocheted goods seem to be making a real comeback in the shops and I've found myself looking at the prices in disbelief when I think of how much I could make it myself for :o

I crochet too!! All I have attempted are square blankets (triple stitch) which come out lovely, & im major addicted to it!!
A couple of days ago mum bought me a book showing different stitches for hats, blankets, bags etc so I am looking forward to sitting down & having a good read!!

Hi Paula,
I couldn't make head nor tail of it either - but now I've got a copy of the 'Happy Hooker' by Debbie Stroller and I'm getting on great!

because I'm so chuffed with having learnt to crochet recently. I'm planning to start making tiny baby blankets to use as embellishments on the many baby cards I seem to need at the moment.

I recently started to crochet too and enjoying it. :) I wanted to make my own amigurumis as I think they're so cute so I had a good motivation to learn.

[euston-74]

Oh yes! Amigurumis are awesome - that's another thing on my list!
