Ygerna Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It was my first ever! I've been trying to learn to crochet for about two years, on and off, but, I gave in and bought 'The Happy Hooker' book, and last week, whilst camping I managed to get the hang of the starting chain and single crochet. Today, I decided I'd go for a 'Granny Square'. The finished article is not pretty. Its not square and it has holes in the wrong places etc but, I believe i know why (mainly too many interuptions by small people needing food, drink, toilet, cuddles etc) so, the next one *should be better. Sorry its such a trivial post but, I'm so pleased with my effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I started out with granny squares and my first was more of a granny rhombus. I'm still not much good at crochet but granny squares are so versatile - as well as blankets you can make belts, bags, scarves, place mats and cushions amongst many other things I'm sure.

craftyhunnypie Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What a good user name that would be! Well done on conquering crochet! You will do your next square with ease - I bet you! Soon you'll be churning out all sorts of goodies. Well done - can we see it? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well done! I thought they were really difficult when I first started crocheting - just couldn't understand the instructions. I have done some recently, but they turned into large square blankets fro my two daughters beds. The irony is, the day you need a granny rhombus, you won't be able to make one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have yet to master crochet, I have been knitting as long as I can remember, but crochet has always seemed so scarey. My MIL is very good at it and has tried to teach me, I bought a book for ED at Christmas I must take a look at it myself. Well done you.
