SusiesueH Feb 2017 7:24pm, 22 Feb 2017 3,657 posts	0 SusiesueH Well today I finally had a crack at that crochet thing and managed to produce this: I'm quite chuffed with it despite doing too many chain stitches on two of the corners. (I might pull some back and redo if the mood takes me later in the week)

mad4purple Feb 2017 1:51pm, 23 Feb 2017 35,730 posts	0 mad4purple Submitted too soon, I've just ordered some Aran weight yarn to attempt to make a mermaid tail blanket.
Red Ant Feb 2017 2:22pm, 23 Feb 2017 5,016 posts	0 Red Ant Will you crochet it or knit the blanket M4P?
mad4purple Feb 2017 5:34pm, 23 Feb 2017 35,731 posts	0 mad4purple Crochet for sure. I'm. Much better at crochet and for me it's quicker, unless that's psychological maybe I should test the theory.
Meglet Feb 2017 6:15pm, 23 Feb 2017 17,802 posts	0 Meglet Crochet is so much quicker! Especially for items that are large and need to grow quickly. A few years ago my girls would have loved mermaid blankets
Red Ant Feb 2017 7:58pm, 23 Feb 2017 5,024 posts	0 Red Ant TBH I always prefer the appearance of crochet mermaids tails compared with the knitted ones, don't know why really!
