Two socks at once 🤯I mean I would do that by crocheting them at the same time, say 5 rows on. One, 5 on the other. More to get uniformity (do that with fingerless gloves) but I'm guessing there's someone out there with two socks hanging off a cable?
Sophs your poor mum, that's so lovely of you ♥ I'm sure I't will be so cute. Can't wait to see pictures. There are some gorgeous buntings out there which was my late suggestion. Or butterfly bunting.
Re the wizardry 🧙♂️ 😂
You know, I've learnt that about crafts. The truth is that anything is clear as long as you understand what you're doing and can follow good clear instructions. I like things to be logical and it's really very mathematical based. For years I was so frightened of patterns, and anything that wasnt a fairly simple blanket. It's only now (furlough, bad health) that I'm able to spend so much time crocheting. Things like socks and amigurumi completely blow my mind. I'd love to be able to make my mum a beautiful angel or fairy 🧚♂️ but I just don't know that I have the ability or confidence.
I think a lot of us are in the same boat. I'm using it to completely envelope myself. I've had to stop watching the news etc, so crochet is just helping me breathe and keeping me sane tbh. It's all wizardry isn't it. There are so many people who can't pick up a hook or needle at all.
My purple wool is for scarf hat gloves for myself, but I might just start on scarf as it has to be double. I can't wait to see how the colours play out. I might even try the tunisian hook but I'm very new to it and it's very fiddly (but great seeing the stitches ping off 😂)
