*waves Am new in here! I’m just waiting for a cross stitch to arrive - my grandma is 100 in May so I’m doing her one 👍🏼 She did one for my 21st so it’s kinda a full circle thing. Brace yourselves for questions! |

I've done some cross stitch years ago...made a couple of doggy things, one labrador for my stepsister and a bichon for my dad, which I've since re-inherited! I'd like to learn how to crochet again, only the UK terms confuse me compared to the North American terms...ie single crochet...you don't seem to do that here!

The default "language" for most crochet patterns on Ravelry is US terminology so you shouldn't have too much bother finding patterns that make sense to you, Garfield.

True enough vrap! I also need to relocate my hooks, somewhere in the house...not only for crocheting but for weaving in ends of my knitting!!

*waves* another newbie to the thread. Hello to all you creative Fetchies, I have been admiring your work whilst stalking this thread I brought some crochet hooks and wool earlier in the year as I want to make some items for sleeping angels. I didn't want to muck up the baby wool so I also brought some funky coloured wool to practice with and make myself a blanket of squares. To date I haven't got very far so am going to give myself a kick to start in 2020. Hopefully be back in here soon to post a photo of something! |

I do like crochet. It grows so much quicker than knitting, is easy to rip back if you make a mistake, and is easier to fudge if stitch counts go wrong! I think the key is staying relaxed and not letting the loops get too tight. I also hold my wool in the other hand, so for knitting I throw with my tight hand, but for crochet I hold in my left and catch it with the hook in my right. |
