Show and Tell
Carol had been very busy over the last two months since the last meeting, having finished a pair of socks, a blue child's summer dress, and two blue child's cardigans (one with a hood, and one without).
Annette collected the pattern, yarn and hooks for this super-cute crocheted amigurumi baby giraffe from popping into various yarn shops in different ports whilst on a cruise.
Crochet for all
Crochet is a useful and creative skill in its own right, as well as being an excellent complement to knitting, for adding edging, borders, and lace-like enhancements. This week was an opportunity for those who already crochet to get in some practise, and for those yet to take up the hook, to have a go. Here are a few of the links from the list that Liz provided to help and inspire:Knitting and Crochet Guild - learn to crochet
