Little did I know that my trip to Dunelm Mill was going to create a new craze in our house. Mooching around the store one day I came across a half price Crochet case which was full of nice red aluminium crochet hooks. Feeling bored being stuck at home on sick leave I decided to have a dabble so bought the hooks and some yarn even though I had no idea of how to start. That evening after cooking the rabble their dinner I logged onto you tube and had a look for some tutorials. I was shocked to find absolutely loads and that evening I learnt how to start a foundation row, single and double crochet stitches.
Being a newcomer I didn't know that there were different stitch names and made quite a bodge of my first granny squares by not knowing that the UK double crochet is called a US single crochet. Doh!!!!! I did wonder why nothing looked right and everything was so tight.
That was the start of my new addiction. In 2 weeks I have completed a small throw, 3 amigurumi chicks, an animurumi penguin and a MyBoshi beanie hat for my daughter.
I love it xxx
