I'm crocheting the very same blanket as you mentioned below(my first bit of crochet) but I've cheated a bit at the beginning by turning the chain around and crocheting into the other side - the wee loop in the middle (much easier to do than into the V). I'm sure this is a heinous crime in the world of crochet but doesn't seem to make much difference when you get going. Blanket is now about a foot long (over 5 wide) and I can now even speak to my other half while doing it - so it does get easier! - Arleneboo vakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964485330252463306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-27619284275565524602011-03-21T09:56:35.522+00:002011-03-21T09:56:35.522+00:00And my sister, who could help me to crochet, lives...And my sister, who could help me to crochet, lives in France! Poor us, coming from such selfish families ;)<br /><br />I'm thinking a video tutorial might help, though I'm fairly sure I can see where the hook is MEANT to go, it just won't go in there. I might have a wee search for some videos later though. Definitely worth a try!dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-38142178258174197922011-03-21T01:48:10.229+00:002011-03-21T01:48:10.229+00:00It is true once you break crochet it is easy promi...It is true once you break crochet it is easy promise, have you tried vid tutorials. I SO badly want to learn bobbin lace my mum used to do it and it's one thing I never got to learn from her. Now she is naughty and lives in Spain very inconsiderate!Teasemadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748673469769419442noreply@blogger.com
