So disappointed!

[belindarose]

I've decided to learn to crochet. Have read blogs, watched tutorials, become inspired.

Yesterday I bought practise yarn and a hook.

I have just sat down for the first time today - toddler and baby asleep, DH working late.

I have the video to follow on the iPad. I have a ball of yarn. I have sent the dog to bed.

And I must have left the crochet hook at the till yesterday.

I'm very unscary too pregnant to waddle onto my broom at the moment and we have cake [hwink]

I'm also very southern for lessons, although it'll have to be this month if I'm to guarantee meet ups. Otherwise hire me someone to do piecework for you...

[FlamingoBingo]

Crochet is very forgiving, so in a way much less scary than knitting. Go for it!

Norks, if you're serious, I'd love your hooks. Am often teaching groups of kids/adults at home thingies to crochet and some spare hooks would come in very handy :) I'll PM you if you're still wanting rid of them.

[FlamingoBingo]

Have pm'd you twice, norks as iPad told me it hadn't worked! Let me know if it you don't get it :)

[NorksAreMessy]

Flamingo THANK YOU
Pigj you are a chochet goddess, but I think you have enough on your plate without dealing with me :)

[PurplePidjin]

I'll be stuck on my arse with a hook for the next month or so, need something to keep my brain alive

[PurplePidjin]

Plus, MrsY's blanket was handed over to Pistey on Wednesday so i just have Christmas pressies and fun stuff on the hook now

[NorksAreMessy]

8Pidj* i am trying to PM you but it's gone loopy. I can REPLY to PMs, so would you kindly PM me?

[PurplePidjin]

Did it work?

[NorksAreMessy]

yup

[waitandseepudding]

Ooh maths, I'm in carlisle will you teach me?!

[sashh]

Maybe I am a witch. I can crochet and I taught a left hander to crochet.

[Mathsdidi]

wait I will happily teach you. Pm me and we can arrange to meet up. It will ahve to be a weekend as I'm at work all week, and I might need to bring my 2yo as well (depends on dp's plans)

[TuftyFinch]

I'm like Norks, I have such lovely pictures in books of things I want to crochet. But. I. Can't. Do. It. It drives me insane. I can knit (scarves, but still), I can sew, everything else crafty but I just can't crochet. I let the dog have the last thing I attempted. I want to whip up a natty flower in a spare 15 minutes or squares to make a blanket. A want a kindly folk to teach me. Whilst we eat cake and drink tea.

[PurplePidjin]

Tufty, my approximate location is on my profile. Any use? I'm on a bit of a time limit what with being 36+3 but I'm sure we can sort something out :o

[NorksAreMessy]

Lovely flamingo is going to take me on as a sort of charity challenge if we can ever find a day to meet up.
she is a very brave witch :)

[PurplePidjin]

Yay :o

[FlamingoBingo]

hardly charity when we have a fair energy exchange planned :) anyway, i like teaching crochet!

[PurplePidjin]

It's fun. I do it for cake

:o

[NorksAreMessy]

if I EVER manage to meet flamingo I will bring cake too.
How come we are both soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy. i thought my life was pretty empty

[FlamingoBingo]

Cake?! Yum!

[solittletimeandsomuchtodo]

Norks I was exactly the same as you. Just don't get it, teacher couldn't get me to get it.
Would like to though and might try again in the new year!

[TuftyFinch]

Purple, I'll have a look when the horses are here to power up the laptop! Very kind offer, although with your imminent arrival I'm sure you'll have more than enough to do!

[PurplePidjin]

You have pm, tufty, that only requires Hammy hamster in his wheel

[Latonia]

One time I lost a crochet hook - found it when I sat down one day and the hook went through my finger! I was too squeamish to pull it back through, so went running out the front door and asked the first person I saw (neighbour's husband) to pull it out while I buried my face in his shoulder. Don't think his wife was too impressed

[Daisybell1]

Maths and Wait I'm in kirkby Stephen - could I join you too?
