Learning to crochet

Earlier in the month I wrote that I was teaching myself to crochet. Using library books, Youtube, £1.69 hook and a bag of unwanted double knit wool.

How am I getting on?  Have a look!

 Everything seems to have a bend?

Why cant' I make a square?  Is that suppose to petals on that circle?

Terrible.

I am now going to concentrate on forming a straight, even edged large square with the simple stitches. I may unpick all the early attempts and reuse the wool. Once I have got single chain, double stitch and possibly treble stitch under control I may consider the experiment done. I don't think I will ever get to be the fancy crochet or even the granny square blanket person!  My eyes feel permanently crossed.

I wonder if my grandson (6) will teach me more ukulele at Christmas?

Meanwhile, I am learning how to be a YouTuber and an Instagram-er!!!! More another day.

Yes. You are right. I am BORED.  And there is a long Parish council meeting to sit through tonight.

Just had our first frost. So its cold (-2C this morning), but pretty when the sun is out during the day. The first Vs of geese have been passing over us most days on their way back and forth between the marshland edges of The Wash and the sugar beet fields. Their noise is very distinctive and lovely in the cold crisp air.
