Luvachicken Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Made my day! Sounds like you are doing great! It will get loads easier once it "clicks". It took me a few projects before I really started to get the hang of it. I can make your day again if you like ..... The parent of the lovely boy that I've supported 1 to 1 with for the last 3 years bought me a subscription to a crochet magazine as my leaving present in the summer. The last one came today with a free unicorn kit. I read the magazine really carefully and all the instructions for the unicorn - there were instructions for 2 heads , ears, eyes ,horns and wings but nothing for it's body or legs. I sent her a message saying did she know what page the rest of the instructions were on only to find that as I sent it, turning the pages of the magazine, there was the correct unicorn staring straight at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Have you finished the reindeer Luvachicken? We do need to see pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have you finished the reindeer Luvachicken? Not yet I was having a little rest from her as my shoulder has playing up but, funnily enough, I did do some more of her today. Another leg (which will be an arm) with no mistakes - probably helped by the fact I used 2 stitch markers I'm hoping to get her finished during half term (this week for me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Well Donna needs just one more antler She has taken me a while to get sorted but mostly because I have not done her and been doing other things instead - especially over the summer. I only had her antlers left but I think I hadn't got round to doing them because I knew I couldn't really do them Anyway, the other day I thought I WILL do the antlers, so got started ....... 3 hours later I had one antler I was so disappointed with it that I chucked in its bag and left it there. In the staff room at school, someone mentioned crochet and I asked if they could look at my antler so I took it to school today, and it didn't look as bad as I thought. Not only that, one of the teachers asked if it was an antler, and I was really pleased that she had recognised it without hearing the conversation before. That has given me the confidence to do the other antler. I just need to find a spare 3 hours to do it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Sounds great! Antlers do sound very fiddly and I would procrastinate finishing them too! Edited November 17, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 It was a technique called branching. Took some following from the video I can tell you - good job you can pause and rewind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Well done. I love the stop and replay features - many a time I've done that. And it never matters how many times you do it, it never gets cross with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Unless OH is in the room and goes - but I thought you said it was only a 10 minute programme (some 40 minutes later) yes it is a 10 minute programme, but I know how to make it last longer!
