Thank you

I really enjoyed looking at your blog, Agi.

A hairband for my friend´s daughter:

lovely!!!

That is very pretty. The button matches the colors of the band perfectly. Lucky friend's daughter.

What a neat idea Agi and your crochet has come on with leaps and bounds. Love the button too. Well done

Sally

Very pretty, the button is perfect for it!

I made a necklace. The end is just a long chain and I tie it in a bow - I wanted to have the opportunity to wear it longer or shorter depending on the clothes I am wearing.
I put the pen next to it so you can see the size.

Very pretty, it would look good when worn with a knitted jumper I think!

Maybe I should change the title of this thread? I remember when I started it I was still not sure I can learn crochet.

This is what I am working on when I am at Stephen's. It is easier than embroidery, I don't need so many things. This is going to be a shrug for my daughter. When I told her, she said she would not wear it but when she saw it, she said she might



I took it with me when we went to the sea.



I really enjoy crochet, almost more than knitting. Only I can knit without looking and read or watch films at the same time, but I cannot crochet withot looking at it. Is it possible at all?

Yup, my Mum crochets without looking at it, but then she only does very simple stuff (she likes crocheting borders on facewashers).

I know that I used to watch television when I crocheted, but it's been years and I don't know if i paid that much attention to the crocheting or to the tv? Like with my stitching now, it depends on how complicated the project is, and how interesting the program is.

I am going to get back to knitting and crochet if I can.

Agi, your creativity and energy never, ever fail to amaze me. I went back to the start of the thread and read straight through; you've come a long way from wobbly squares, have you not! There is certainly a lot to be said for not knowing if something is supposed to be difficult -- you just seem to go ahead and do it, and ta da!

Thank you, Serinde

Have I mentioned I made my first piece of felt the other day?

I have just finished these slippers.




I think I am going to put some stiff felt inside for the soles but otherwise I love them.
I have started with a tutorial (of course, I cannot find it right now ) but after I made the toes I changed my mind and crocheted according to my own ideas. It worked.

I've just came across this thread and am amazed at how fast you picked it up.

I'm trying to learn crochet but find some things difficult. Although I've grasped the basic of the slip knot and foundation stitch (even though they may not be perfect), I haven't seemed to master the holding of the yarn.

Today I bought 'The Art of Crochet' 99p for the first magazine and I hope that will help as it has a magazine and a DVD. Your work looks lovely, I hope to see more

Agi they are great slippers and you have progressed heaps in the time you have been crocheting.

Emmylou, Hang in there and keep trying and one day it will all fall into place. Great idea to get the magazine too and hope it helps heaps.

Thank you.
Emmylou, I started many times and always gave up. But then once I decided I have to learn this and I did. I just used video tutorials on youtube, some of them are really useful. Good luck.

Great looking slippers. I think the idea of stiff felt is a good one. You have got this craft down well, indeed.
