More Crochet

After declaring that I wasn't inclined to make full size clothing and granny squares with crochet, I went ahead and started to make... granny squares... then started a cardigan. I figured I'd try to follow a load of tutorials to learn the basic crochet stitches and realised granny squares could be like the crochet 'sampler'. I'm doing them all in these colours:

...which I feel look like a heather/woodland mix. You can see the ones I've made so far, as well as the start of 1st an abandoned cardigan pattern then at the bottom of the picture the start of the one I'm in the middle of now.
The cardigan is going to be a holey (quick) crochet stitched tie-wrap number and I'm measuring and deciding on shape as I go.

I also sewed some odd buttons onto my amigurumi egg and fuzz-ball :)

I can crochet!!!

I've been following June's 'Planet June' blog for a while and really admire her crochet patterns - she actually made me wish I could crochet whereas granny square quilts and full size clothing don't! After following her tutorials and several on youtube when I got stuck, I've managed these three using a bag of wool I picked up at a car boot which handily had some needles in...

They are left to right: Basic Rose (donation ware) | Amigurumi Acorn (freebie) made just as an amigurumi egg | Mini Fuzzball (freebie)

This is what the yarn I used for the fuzzball looks like - it was very fiddly but the only 'fuzzy' stuff I had!!

I'm pretty happy I actually managed to crochet something let alone three 'somethings' :D

Right, I'm off to go make a donation after using the rose pattern :)
