So... Even though this thread is really old and obviously very popular, I've never opened it before. I was always scared that it'd be involve car keys in a dish or something. Turns out that a lot of people really like crochet. Who knew?... ?
We knew ! Now you know! I wrote drivel and thought I had deleted it. Little sigh. Hello anyway ????
teeheeMiss out the unravel and follow pattern and that's me to a 't' .... hate undoing anything so pretend it's what I wanted anyway!!!!
But I only make teeny tiny things so unravel is never huge ?
Between you n ?me, the purse is longer than it should have been but, yes, I am pretending it was supposed to look like that - shhhhh, don’t tell anybody?
I love the purse it will hold more money and lippy!!( of course the colour is a given!)

- Motorhomed for almost 7 years - now going nowhere!
I had a lovely day out today. The plan was to meet up with other 'Octopus for a preemie' co-ordinator and hand over the latest octopals. The meeting was in Norwich but on the way there was a 16 mile detour and it took ages to get there on single track roads, pausing at every wide stretch in the road. It took an extra hour. Saw one motorhome and I doubt he ever got through! It was mad and no diversion signs. However, still time for a bit of shopping and bought a few girlie bits, new nail varnish, posh face cream etc. Came home via the A11 not wanting to repeat the ordeal of this morning.

looks perfect to me
At knit and natter I finished the Jackfield Tile bag and also finished off the sweater I was doing, need to press it. Also did a couple of rounds on a "Commit to Knit" hat. I'm certainly using up the odds and ends of yarn on the hats.

For small things (like the hats) I do the first one according to the pattern and after that I have better ideas. All are wearable though
It's a good way to try out "new to me" stitches as far as I am concerned.

Finished the teddy I started ages ago. Again, head is totally different to pattern.

Did you get to meet your coordinator in the end? I sent 40 in recently (makes from April to mid July) 12 went to Angels as there were holes at the decreases. I'm trying another way of decreasing now. Fiona thinks it may be something to do with my arthritic thumbs so the different method may help ??
Pics please!
They are great, I especially love Ted. I think making the clothes will be fun.
My latest project was a Motorhome friendly Christmas Tree (ssshh not the C word). It’s small, light and unbreakable
I just need to decide how to decorate it now .

Hi Crochet corner, can i come in too please?! I am quite new to crochet too but am very determined, i generally unravel more than i do but want to get to grips with patterns (as i am rubbish at making things up!) and trying to do some amigurumi animals for my grandaughter which aren't going too badly so far.........!

Welcome to the thread! You’re not alone, I think a lot of us undo more of our work than actually makes it to completion
Here it is decorated but I’m not sure whether I like it.
Do you think it would be better plain of with an alternative decoration like buttons or bows for example? TIA

I like it. You can get tiny lights on copper wire, too, which should work.
