Team Hooker - One pointy thing is better than two

[SoupDragon]

Quiche-tastic.

My thoughts exactly Knotty. And that would be lovely.

Timeforcake, if you do decide to sell rather than donate directly to charity I might be interested in one (sorry to be cheeky, don't worry if that is too much of a pain). Though I am a very competent crocheter blankets are my nemesis due to my lack of completer-finisher personality! I've had a half made one been looking for one for the back of my sofa for ages.

Morning all Hookers

Morning

Morning :)

Finally got round to upload photos... My squares with all of the lovely 'recycled' wool I received :)

Jules, they're gorgeoise!

I now have MrsY's squares and a tummy full of cake ready to get hooking :o

Lovely! :o

Jules - they are beautiful, lovely colours

Joining up to team hooker, thanks Pidj for pointing me in the right direction

Decided last week to take up crochet. My crochet hook arrived this morning and I've made a wee granny square tonight. So proud of myself that I've put my first ever pic on my profile. I think team hooker may be seeing lots of me

Woohoo! More Hookers!

JollyHockyStick, I remember that feeling of pride at my first square. In fact I remember my pride at my first wonky bit of crochet that most definitely wasn't square or any other recognisable shape Well done :)

Don't forget to check if there's a convenient meet - I'm going to try and get to the Waterloo one on 23rd :)

Some lovely work on this thread... Very inspirational

This is the link to my throw/shawl/blanket that I've just finished... Got some wool left over so going to make a matching cushion cover...

Quick question: Do I want to enter a crochet item in the hand knit class of the village show? (yes i have a thread about this in chat but it's getting pleasingly silly!)

Of course you do!

I was gutted to discover that my local shows only seem to have florist or honey categories. Plus livestock.

Yes Pidj def or are there small print rules that state it must be made with two pointy things?

stuck a lovely throw but I love the bag that was there too! Where was the pattern from?

Nothing in the rules about hookers entering the hand knit class! Stuck it up as my fb status and have been invited to enter a different village show (same weekend) so might go with the friendly one :o plus the person who asked is the current mayor of my town...

Jules146 The bag is from a pattern I found on ravelry (using a multicoloured wool and I changed the number of stitches so it would be the size I wanted)
This is the link I think... www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/faded-denim-tote-bag

Dilly- sorry not to have replied sooner, up to my eyes in house clearing.
As soon as I have worked out how many blankets there are and what's being kept/ what's ready to re-home, I'll be in touch. Would love you to have a blanket! Will pm you in a week or so.

Can't wait to finally have some free time to crochet!

Thank you for the welcomes :)
