I will be watching with interest - currently my crochet skills extend to a simple edging around a hat but I'm getting much more interested in learning it properly Very Happy

I've bought the first two issues of Inside Crochet as they have some very nice projects in there. There a little shrug/cardi in issue 2 that I would like to have a go at, and the cover top is really nice too.

I'm the same, have got as far as crochet cushions but I'm tempted, so I'll see how you get on.

i will be in this too, taking a crochet course at the moment, so hopefully will have the skill to do it properly. think i am going to have to change the wording though as it is written in american crochet and i just know i will forget otherwise

i am totally amazed that i have finished mine already. i have done the smallest size, i know there is more than likely a few mistakes but it does look good. fits DD2 lovely. i didnt do any sleeves on mine as i loved the effect of the little capped sleeves that you got at the chain 10 for underarms.
will get a pic up sometime tomorrow.

That looks nice, i will have a rummage in stash to see if i have enough dk of anything and i'll join you.

As for whether or not you can do it, i don't see why not! Very Happy

its really quite an easy pattern, as long as you know how to do a treble crochet and half treble crochet.

I love yours Deb - I've just seen it in the LWIM section - fab!!

Does the yarn need to be pressable? Or will an acrylic mix be okay? I have some navy Country Style I could use to practise with Confused

Or some pure cotton....

Question

Debs, i'm pretty sure acrylic will be fine (I do tend to use it quite a lot and had no probs so far).
I've found some of this

so i'm going to give it a whirl Very Happy
