I've been rather stuck in my own little crochet comfort zone for a while now, four years in and I still haven't moved on from granny squares and the occasional set of coasters, so as I have the book . . .
. . . I'm going to work my way slowly through it, taking on board more and more stitching skills as I progress. As I flick through the pages, some still seem way beyond my capabilities, but maybe in a few months time I'll have grasped them. In the mean time I'm hoping to get through 100 of them at the rate of roughly 8 - with at least a couple of new stitches - per month.
I've made a start and already done a couple for this month, I'm thinking I'll either use them as embellishments on clothes (hats, sweaters etc.) or I might use them for greetings cards. Who knows?
I love crochet, it's so much quicker than knitting, there are lots of fab crochet books in the library too. I can't wait to see what you've made xx
ReplyDeletesounds like a great zone to be in!
ReplyDeleteHello Joy, thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments. Good luck with your crochet challenge. I am also stuck (quite happily, I must say) in a granny square rut and I need to branch out into more challenging projects. That book looks interesting.

Wish I could get to a granny square rut, a chain is my limit lol. It is beyond me, I will stick with knitting. Good luck to you though. x
ReplyDeleteI googled crochet challenge and you came up! :) I'm looking for someone to help motivate me to actually finish some things! I'm also a beginner. shall we link up?
ReplyDeleteI too have the book Joy. I am still in a granny square rut, but I just make one square and keep going until I run out of wool! then I buy more. . . My current one is around four foot square, and still growing. Makes a lovely knee blanket in this cold weather.
