Introducing my first projects
When I was six or seven years old, my mother taught me how to crochet. I made chains until I ran out of yarn and lost interest. I haven't touched a hook in more than thirty years (yes, I'm that old^^)
When I started again, I did it with a classic pattern - the potholder.
But the number of potholders you use or give away are limited, obviously :)
Next step: Baby blankets! Using another classic crochet pattern, I made these:
I used "Schachenmayr Micro Fibre"yarn for the blankets. Very smooth to the touch, but the plies tend to seperate which is a pain in the a***. Wouldn't buy it again, but I still have a couple of balls (heh) in my stash....
Here are the patterns for the potholder
and the baby blanket
