My aunt sent a 'simply knitting' mag from april 2010 , that she got off a boot sale .
In it is a jacket/cardi she thought i could make . Mmmm , not yet me thinks , omg lol . However lots of interesting stuff in it , including a guide on how to knit , can already do what is in that , and a guide on how to crochet .
Thought i might have a go , but no hook . So got a bit of wood , made it roundish , made the hook bit , bingo , a crochet hook . I can now do chain stitch and double crochet , i think ? It looks right anyway .
The hook is about 4mm and the wool dk .
I will have to have a look how to crochet 'into' the double crochet bit i am doing , not very clear in the guide , to say the least . I find it very fast to crochet together .
Will have a look at basic crochet patterns online .
The knitting is still coming along , still doing the practice piece atm , but doing all the stitches as per the kids jumper pattern .
