Woolly Thank Yous

[purplepidjin]

A little thread so I can acknowledge people who have sent squares for the Blankets (Magic8ball, Whatevertheweather and Cheeseandgherkins) and also so that folk know their kindness has arrived safely!

Initals MB who did tell me her squares were on their way but I've forgotten the username possibly 100years who I know is working to a tight deadline

I have 24 squares already which is a 3'x2' blanket all on it's own!

[skinnymuffin]

Right, I have done two squares of plain knit, they both weigh 16g. I have just weighed the wool I have left and guess what?...16g!! So, I'm going in for a third, ladies, wish me luck! :o

LittleFish, try PMing Pidj, you might get a quicker response.

Purple pidgin - I've had a quick look but can't see my name on this thread. Did you receive the 4 squares I sent about 2 weeks ago. There were 2 pink ones and 2 others

[KnottyLocks]

Pinot, if you were anywhere near me, you could pop around for a spot of hooking

[Pinot]

Cheers Knotty my love

[KnottyLocks]

Pinot, the world's yer lobster. Have a look to see if there are any crochet courses or 'Stitch and Bitch' evenings in your local area. It is easier if someone can show you where you are going right and wrong.

Oooooooooo, what can you make apart from blankets and toilet dollies? Hats, scarves, gloves, belts, clothing, necklaces, rings, bracelets, flowers, birds, toys, bags... and loads more. Just google crochet images and you'll get a better idea.
Also if you have a look on Etsy, there are some wonderful examples of what can be made.

[KnottyLocks]

Olivia, don't you start that wibbling woman! Have a go
Like Soupy, I also taught myself to crochet this year and here I am putting together blankets.
We've had people learn to knit especially to be a part of these projects.


Reach for the [stars]

[SoupDragon]

Yes that's the one... and that's a page from after you've learnt all the basic stitches :)

[Pinot]

I'd love to learn too - what sort of things can you crochet? All I remember as a child is my Nans doilies and stuff - I assume it's more razzle-dazzle than that now? I love crafts and am trying to learn new stuff...if anyone can help?

[OliviaMumsnet]

Soupy, do you mean this one? 
here
Looks quite complicated???
Or is that a pic from later in the book??

[SoupDragon]

Olivia, I taught myself in July from a book called "crochet unravelled" and haven't looked back. And I was a failed knitter as a child, much to my grandmother's disappointment.

[KnottyLocks]

Olivia, Pidj and I may well be visiting in the near future. We'll bring our hooks

Meanwhile, I've had a loooooong day at work and am working again tomorrow so will update Tomorrow night.

[OliviaMumsnet]

Hello
I cant but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to learn.
Any clever MN crafters near me? Herts/Essex??

[greenzebra]

I been looking through the threads of your knitters and crochet circle, it great work you are doing, can I request that pictures of the blankets be put up also would love to see what they look like after they are done.

I am a crocheter my mum taught me, Im not as good as some on here but would be happy to help in future projects.

Maybe also the knitter crocheter group should be given a name like Super Wooleys. Or something to that effect.

[crazynanna]
