Scout Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wondering who else on the forum enjoys crochet, or other yarn work? I am a crochet beginner, and really enjoying it. Working on some basic patterns just to practice my stitches, but it's so much fun. A nice way to "switch off". Any tips, most welcome! Also, I love that there are so many good tutorials on YouTube.

Pistol Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi @Scout - I don't crochet but I do knit. I used to knit sweaters, scarfs, socks … now I usually don't have the energy for it. You know that you can crochet purses and handbags tht are really pretty and not hard to make? See if you can find directions online. Enjoy your new hobby!!!!!!

Sarah Tee Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hello @Scout I am a knitter who can crochet a little. I've been trying to improve my crochet skills, but my brain fog makes it hard to learn new things, so I tend to just stick to knitting at the moment. Are you working on anything at the moment?

Pistol Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Scout - last year I started to knit again. I ordered a big bag of different colored cotton yarn and made sets of place settings for christmas presents. They came out sooo good! And I could make them so they fit in the color schemes of peoples kitchens. I included dish rags and pot holders too. You can easily crochet these too - maybe a good project for next Christmas? Once I got back into knitting I loved it so much that I did not stop at place settings - I made scarfs, shawls, sweaters and cardigans -- and pillow cases!!!!!

Knellie Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I love to crochet! I have been crocheting for like 3 years. I would recommend with starting out with single crochet and working up from there. I like a g or h sized hook. I find all my free patterns on pinterest or spruce crafts. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Here is a link to some good beginner patterns: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/free-crochet-patterns-for-beginners-978084 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashc Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Checked out the patterns and they look easy but still gorgeous. Love to try them soon. Btw, I love the purse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
