I learned to crochet as a very young child, taught by my grandma. I don't actually remember her teaching me, but remember suddenly being able to do the most basic stitch (all i could do until about 6 months ago!). She was amazing and could make anything. I can however only make square or rectangular things so far, so am limited to throws, shawls, scarves, pillows and somehow the occasional hat if a round thing works out. Got some books, downloaded some video podcasts and managed to teach myself a few new stitches. So now i can't stop and am utterly addicted. I will learn to make more difficult shapes and patterns at some point, but for now, here are a few rectangles of various sizes..
A very basic, but very warm throw for the couch. Took months and i should have made it bigger, but in all honesty i got annoyed and wanted it finished so i could make more things.
A stripey cushion, (hopefully one of a few), for the garden bench. Will get around to make more soon.
Quite proud of this one. First time i ever learned a more detailed stitch and followed a pattern, made this sea shell scarf. Now want to make one in every colour wool.
A similar scarf, netted, but without the shells..which is in a really fine wool and this is doubled over a few times here to use as a scarf, but opens up into a lightweight wrap. Making one the same in a teal colour i fell in love with and bought 6 balls of a few days ago.
