Hook, Rounds and Stitch: Chit Chat

Chit Chat

Just a bit of chit chat whilst we await photo's from class.

I have added a Conversion Crochet Hook Chart in the right bar, so that should help quite a bit.

I have been over to Attic24 and Lucy has kindly given me permission to use her Birdie pattern to make Birdies for the Christmas Fayre - thank you Lucy.

Annie has donated a beautiful bag for the stall, all hand made of course - thank you Annie,

And Chris has donated a couple of Swedish Gnomes (designed by Alan Dart), the monies for these will be going to Macmillian Nurses. They are the cutest things I have ever seen, and I have grabbed the pattern myself to see how many I can make...
My list is getting longer.......

Lets begin at the Beginning

Crochet is a very easy craft once you have got the basics stitches learn't there isn't a pattern that you can't do.All you need is a hook and some yarn.Like knitting your thickness of yarn depends on the size of you hook, but that doesn't mean you have to stick to the rules!

Note* All instructions given on site are for right-hand crochet - there are plenty other blogs that give resources for left-hand crochet.

Note* I was going to attempt to sit and write every instruction out, however I have found that LionBrand now have great instructual videos that you can view for free, just sign up to their site.

On their site you will find written sources to all these stitches and more
