Yes, the first of my New Year's Resolutions can be checked off.
Thankfully my New Year's resolution wasn't to become proficient at crochet! but just to learn it. :) And I did that.
I do plan to practice and try a pattern other than a dishcloth so that I can try the Single Crochet and Double Crochet as well as be able to follow a pattern. I did start a small piece and I know I made some mistakes so I'd like to be able to learn how to identify what I've crocheted so I know how many Double Crochets I've completed.
Here you can see the first piece where I learned how to get started and the sc (single crochet) and dc (double crochet) and hdc (half double crochet) so that we could try a pattern for a "Mile a Minute" afghan sampler.
Next we started a dishcloth out of cotton and I think I got the hang of that. I did a few rows and then started my afghan sampler. No photos of either of those, sorry. :) Maybe next time.
Thanks so much to the Crochet Club of London for this workshop! I know I have a friend who'd love to attend if you hold another, and I know Maureen has a friend who'd love to come too! Please, book another Learn To Crochet workshop date!
