I'm a Hooker





Today I went on a beginners crochet course at Darn it & Stitch, Oxford. I once tried to learn crochet from a book and from watching youtube videos, but failed miserably. I don't like learning how to do things from reading instructions, I need to have somebody there talking me through things and to be at hand when things go wrong.
So I spent today above the shop making granny squares (in Celtic colours) and having a lovely spread of M&S sandwiches, strawberries and cake! I am starting to think I live the high life...

So now I want to try and make lots of these Granny Squares and to try and make a blanket. It's a good way of using up lots of odd balls of wool!

Some interesting crochet designs/ideas/inspiration!
