i just cannot stop crocheting , as soon as i finish something i am on to the next thing to crochet, i have found a great forum for us crochet adicts its called crochetville
because i had loads of scrap wool around i have just finished making a scrappy blanket for my sons boxer dog, its just a big granny square to use up all the odds and ends ,
i have also just finished making two pink and white blankets for my niece and her two identical twin baby girls ,and i have put their names and date of birth on them
my husband calls me the happy hooker after i told him that there is a crocheting book called

The only problem with to much crocheting is that it makes us FAT

Only just found this bit on this forum and I'm so glad I did. My daughter is always having a go at me because I store up a lot of things for various projects that I want to do. I have lots of bits of materials, ribbons, lace etc. as I used to make dolls. Then there is the wool for knitting or crochet, rug wool and canvas for - making rugs - what else!Then there is a vast collection of beautiful shells that I want to do something with,
, shall I go on?
Oh, and just one other thing, I did go to an arts course and still have all the equipment even an easle!:giggle:
At least I'll have plenty to do in my old age - ahem - although I am 76 now.
Ah, well! There's something comforting about having lots of nice stuff around you, methinks.

i also love making blankies, i have just started to learn how to make pictures on blankies , by changing colour, i need to improve a bit but i have just finished a pic of a seahorse .
i find that when i get focused on my crochet i forget to drink enough and suddenly realize i havent had a drink for most of the day , that is not good at all ,
i must remember to fill a big glass of water before i get dehydrated

Here you go: YouTube - How to crochet: lesson 1 give it a try as it is easy once you get the knack, it is also relaxing and a cheap hobby to do, unlike quilting

My mum taught me to me knit as a small child. Its only within this month that I've decided to get back into it, and have had a few orders from friends on facebook for the pom pom scarfs i knit.
Have done cross stitch in the past but tend to lose interest. Have decided to learn how to crochet in the new year too

Haha, I'm a bit like that! In my wardrobe I have boxes full of all my crafty bits and bobs, like you I have lace, sequins, materials, all my cross stitch stuff, pieces of fabric, felt, squares of aida, ribbons, bells, pom poms and much more. I love nothing more than a good mooch around in one of my craft boxes or a good look around Hobbycraft, I could spend a fortune in there!Only just found this bit on this forum and I'm so glad I did.

I also have wool but I've never got the hang of crochet, I really cannot do it. I really want to get the hang of it and just cannot.. How do you do it?! I like knitting but have not done it for ages now. I also like the idea of papercraft but never done it yet.
Cross stitch is my main thing. I have a suitcase full of kits ready to start of all different sizes, designs and abilities although I am an advanced stitcher, I still have kits from when I was younger that I didn't get time to start. But its nice to have something simpler to do sometimes.
I also love latch hook rugs. I've completed 4 and have another one on the go.
I didn't realise you were 76 by the way!

You could do a bit of 'window shopping' I've just found a good website www.knittingpatterncentral.com they have free knitting patterns, I printed off about 8 today

Contact one of your local volunteer organisations, WI; WVS or go to your local hospital and you will find a fund raising table normally run by the WI I am sure they will be more than ready to get you a ball or two of wool in return for some baby knits. Charity shops are a really good cheapy option for finding wool, needles etc. In other words don't let money stop youI'm feeling a lil bit down at the moment coz Ive finished the birth sampler for my friends baby and have no more projects on the go...have no money for another kit at the moment either! Dont know what to do with my time!!
