Not a knot ...

I've just bought a book. A crochet book. I'm hoping that it will give me the confidence to have a go since Mr Hook and I had our falling out as we've not really been close since but I'm willing to give it another go and hope he feels the same way.

The book is called Beyond the Square and you will probably realise from its title that there are other shapes than squares in it: circles, hexagons, triangles, and "other unexpected shapes" in fact.


You might know that I am more than extremely fond of Lucy's blog. She writes all about her life and I am probably over-envious of her skills as a hooker [I am allowed to say that because it's nicely meant]. She somehow makes it look so easy and beautiful. She has tutorials but more due to my hopelessness than her instruction, I'm not exactly at the stage where I can follow them yet. She also appears to fit such a lot into her days that I could also do with a tutorial from her on life-organisation too if such a thing was available.

I have found another blog which I quite enjoy too called Tangled Happy. Today's entry is on branch weaving and I've copied the photo across here:


I may even have a go at this myself, but just now I'm going to practice making a sliding loop from page 10 of my new book. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for visiting ...

Loving the look of that book. Re Lucy's instructions at Attic 24: they are really helpful, and I have managed to do her hexagons and her flowers, however, the ripple blanket eludes me.... one day.... if I keep on trying....
