I've Been CrochetingI fancied doing a bit of crochet yesterday
My youngest has been after a case for her sunglasses, and after looking at the horrid plastic ones in town for £6 - I came up with this (recognise the yarn? )

Also, I have always wanted a crocheted tablecloth, and although my crochet skills are on the limited side, I found this pattern for a star motif, and thought I would just carry on going until it becomes tablecloth size - I know its not going to be as lovely as some of those very fine yarns can produce, but I quite like it. I have made a couple of mistakes but I'm hoping they won't be noticed
I got the pattern from this website - just go to free patterns and then Tablecloth motifs, and its called Crystal Star

Oooh Jobo they're lovely! I especially like the sunglasses case, you clever thing, you!
It makes me wish that I'd paid more attention at the crochet workshop now....

What a great site, and beautiful crochet. I have always wanted to give crochet a good go but have always got stuck on granny squares. I am tempted by the though

I've been bitten by the crochet bug as well but haven't got any photos to show yet.

Yes it is Murdo I find it easier to pick up and do a bit than knitting, where you have to get all your gubbins out!! You are only working on one stitch at a time with crochet so it seems a lot more portable somehow
I feel more confident with knitting though But I enjoy having a crochet dabble now and then
Thanks for your nice comments everyone
