Limegreenjelly Jan 2021 12:39pm, 15 Jan 2021 62 posts	0 Limegreenjelly I rarely have more than one knitting project on the go! At the moment there’s only the 2! I’ve got to get on with some curtains soon for our camper van, I told my husband I’d get them done by Christmas!

Meglet Jan 2021 1:16pm, 15 Jan 2021 21,487 posts	0 Meglet 4mm is about right for DK. If you want it stiffer then 3.5. And yes, with crochet keep an eye open for UK vs US terms. Crochet is incredibly versatile. In general it’s not a floppy or stretchy as knitting so I like it less for garments, but I’m still discovering new techniques. There are some amazing modern patterns now. This is my next project in mosaic crochet ravelry.com
