Me thinks you need to come my 'ouse for some lessons!

Try & try again - that's all I did this time last year & now I can make allsorts. Already made 2 squares, a granny square & 2 scarves this year.

I know you can do it - keep trying.

Two years ago I could not crochet and it was a real mystery how to do it, until I found a book to show me how to do it left handed, and with a bit of practise I have managed to learn. Ihave made dishcloths, a cushion cover of granny squares, a quilt of hexagons sewn together and a jacket for my daughter, which I altered to make buttonholes instead of ties. I am not telling you this to seem clever, but to show how easy it is for a beginner to do nice things. I am sure that you will too, keep going! You really can!

 

It is better if someone can show you. Are there any craft clubs/knitting circles in your area, because most people who can knit or crochet would be delighted to pass on a skill. Good luck!

Snowy and some very patient neighbours.

I hurt their brains.

Maybe next year...

they are lovely! I really like the pear as well. It is amazing what people can make. I may have a try at making one; not with the wool she mentions, more as a decoration.
