FibroFoggiest Crochet for beginners (me!)

[Mrs_Somerset]

Hi Foggy,

please find below some pictures of what I have started out doing, and also of the blanket of doom that is driving me potty!

number 1 - easy peasy cat toy - it is all about crocheting in the round - so a really long straight line crochet that just goes around and around.

I have made several of these for my kittens - they love them.

you could make bigger ones for dogs - just need to start off with a bigger chain circle:

OK - just realised I can only add one piture - and onlyint he opening post will need to do more posts!

Wowski thank you so so much, how delightful the mouse is and oh my word, how lovely is your blanket, if I could do even half of half (why didn't I just say a quarter lalalala) as well I would be really happy

Thank you so so much for showing me them and it has given me inspiration for things to do during the coming (I hardly dare say it) "winter"

making ablanket is not as difficult as it sounds and a brill idea for winter - I think I will do just that - thank-you!

As long as you stick to one colour, it will be easy peasy and you could do it whilst watching a film with family or listening to music - once you get into a rythm your hands jsut do it by themselves - well untill my brain wanders off and I get up with the wool wrapped around my knees wondering where it came from! LOL

Ah - I see the misunderstanding - the blanket int he pics with the mouse is not of my making ( I wish!!!) I think it came from the white company many years ago.

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Mrs_Somerset]

Goodness, it is but my foggy brain you see nevertheless I always think things are lovely which come from the white company

Well done, love the projects in your 5 posts.

I haven't crocheted for about 20 yrs, but decided to teach my 7 yr old daughter how to yesterday - she picked it up really well - just making a sampler of the basic stitches - and loved it! It's so forgiving and easy to correct mistakes. Xxx

and you must be a Brilliant teacher - my granny showed me as a child and all I learnt was how to crocHet a straight line

[agtf1 in reply to Mrs_Somerset]

Haha. Thank you. It's nice to have something calm we can do together when I'm stuck in bed x
