Crochet…an update!
Posted 2014/05/01
on:As you may know I have been teaching myself to crochet. It has been going fairly well. I have learned from my mistakes. I no longer crochet everything in a circle. I am now able to do rows. Today I learned the importance of counting stitches. It’s there a such item as a stitch counter to help me keep track?
Last night I attended my first knitting and crocheting Meetup. It was a fun time. It was a designated learning night. That was a big reason I went but….sadly for me everyone else In attendance was a knitter. The ladies in attendance seemed surprised in what I had learned in a week. In fact a couple ladies thought I had been doing it for some time as I looked like I knew what I was doing. I confessed I was feeling like I knew what I was doing….lol. I will definitely attend this Meetup again. The time and location for perfectly into my life and I love that they meet weekly.
I actually had a total of 6 rows done on the fingerless mittens until…..It was brought to my attention that I was skipping the last stitch in some of the rows so I will begin again this evening. I am okay with that too as I am still learning.
Hoping to post a picture again soon.

Learning a new thing is so exciting. I need to start back in and learn crochet again. I’ve forgotten almost everything I knew!

You should do it! I am taking that some of what I knew is still with me though I was convinced I lost it. I am having fun and love that I am able to get together locally with others that also Crochet. Hoping this week there are other crocheters…if not that’s okay too as it gets be out socially during the week!
