my secret is out...


It couldn't be avoided. The idea is to document what I'm doing and as I've been crocheting, it has inevitably crept onto my blog, and with it the scary truth that I'm a really nanna inside a twenty-year-old's body...

I learnt to crochet when I was about 13 and could do afghan squares (I think that's the name), but it was only recently that I taught myself two techniques I've been dying to learn for ages. Shag or fur crochet and bobble crochet.

Here are my afghan squares (the first is embroidery thread, and the second is wool):



And my fur sample:


And my bobble sample, this one is my favorite, I'm sorry the picture's a bit fuzzy:


I love crochet, that much is certain. I think it's my craze for this craft that has caused me to explore it here. However, I'm not sure I should continue with crochet because knowing me I'm just as likely to head down a 60s, 70s recreation path- a bit limiting. If it sneaks in further down the track, well that might be out of my control...
