Last night was the second of our crochet evenings, following our beginners lesson one month ago. I shall hold another one in a months time on May 22nd. Crochet takes a while to master as to begin with you can feel awkward and frustrated but if you persevere gradually your technique becomes established then your muscles remember what to do and you hardly have to think. Like most learning, a little each day of the basic stitches, ignoring your mistakes and carrying on you will find over a period of time great improvement. It’s a highly practical skill and very satisfying to see the results. I suggest you start with very small items that you can complete quickly and embellish other made items or wear as necklaces, brooches and hairbands. There are some lovely colourful yarns available and crochet magazines to get you started. Let me know if you want to come and crochet with me, we all help each other at the workshops.
