Crochet Lesson 1

So we heard you, we will now be making videos for how to either knit or crochet or any other weird new craft we try, we are starting with crochet because it has become one of the most popular crafts in the last 20 years.

Hope you learnt something cool and forgive any odd bits in the video, it is my first time attempting something like this.

P.S. We know we were horribly quiet for a few weeks, we had exams and evaluations, so we hope that the next few weeks of content will make up for the radio silence.

Crochet Block Challenge

I love crochet, I knit as well but the instant feeling of gratification one gets from crochet can not be ignored. So after being out of it for a little while, I saw this morning a facebook group for crocheters were starting a block a day blanket. After carefully reading the guidelines, I figured why not do one?

How it works:

1. Pick a yarn (Colours and textures).
2. Pick a pattern, there a thousands for free on raverly, including this one.
3. Pick a hook that works comfortably for your hand.

Note, I didn't buy all the yarn, I have two balls of I love yarn French Affair that I had gotten as a present. So using them and then will be getting a the next colour. I am thinking of muted greens, blues and white for the colour scheme.

I also got a puppy for assistance, he is very keen and a great use-my-moms-foot-as-a-pillow, assistant. 

The aim of this is to have a wonderful blanket by the time the year is finished, I am honestly going to be keeping an eye on how big this gets so that I don't land up with a blanket bigger than my room.
