Good afternoon . I am an avid knitter but never learned to crochet . I have tried in the past without much success . I thought it was about time I had another go .Three weeks ago I bought some chunky wool and books on how to crochet and hooks . The stitches looked daunting .I thought I would start very simply . Learned ,chain , double and treble stitches . Decided I would try an ethnic rug . This is what I crocheted. Sorry I can’t size pics .
Currently knitting a very big pink fluffy blanket. I think the weather will be quite warm when i’ve finished it so i might just have to put it away until autumn.
Valley Gardener do try . It was so easy with a large hook and chunky wool . I still have a lot to learn yet but I was quite pleased with my rug .More relaxing than knitting .
Thankyou @LivMarie98, Ive never seen any like that,have made a note of it. Something to do on long winter days. I love the colour youve chosen. @Rubee I keep promising myself to learn,back in the 70's I did crochet lots of multi coloured squares,sewed them together to make a long waistcoat! Now that gives away my age!!😁 but that wasnt following a pattern,a friend showed me in about half an hour how to do a little square, back in the flower power,peace and love days!!😁 thought I was the bees knees wearing it!
Here are my efforts thisafternoon.
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
