What’s on the needles:
1. Crocheted washcloth
Practice makes perfect, right? Hubby is in awe of the tiny stitches. I’m using a 4.5mm hook. Trust me- things can get a LOT more tiny.
I’m thinking of starting this soon: Block Stitch Afghan… maybe not as an actual afghan, but to learn the technique. You know- before my brain wises up and tells me I don’t know enough crochet stitches to attempt this.
(Really, brain? I can chain. I know single, double, and triple crochet. The only thing I might need to learn is how to change colors, and if it’s possible to carry your yarn up the side, cause I really don’t fancy all of those ends..)
2. Scrap Blanket
9 squares completed, 45 to go.
3. Hubby Socks
4. Flax Sweater
You can absolutely carry yarn up the ends…I do it all the time. 🙂
That afghan IS pretty cool…I look forward to seeing it when you decide to make it! 😉
Okay. I’m only a year into knitting and I know even less about crochet, but something I’ve come across recently is the magic knot method for putting in a new skein of yarn. Is that something that could work in crochet?
I love how you’ve just jumped right in. I may eventually get to crochet, but I have a lot more to learn about knitting first. 🙂
Learn both at the same time. My knowledge of knitting has helped with my understanding of crochet. I will need to look up the magic knot method, before I can say yay or nay.
(Just viewed a quick YouTube video) Yeah- I’m pretty sure the magic knot would work just fine.
