A lovely lady came along to our knitting night a few weeks back and patiently sat with my friend and I and taught us the crochet basics.  I think I was ‘hooked’ from then.  Haha!This is my first go……Is a mix of trebles and double crochets.A few days later with the help of The Happy Hooker book I learnt to go around in a circle…..And then yesterday I attempted my first granny square.  It did not go well at first!!I’ve been lent a book of 200 crochet squares so I am going to carry on with the squares and make a baby blanket with different patterns.Having been knitting for 5 and a half years now and spinning for 1 and a half, it is quite strange to learn a new skill again.  I’m not the most patient of people and I expect I was exactly the same when learning the other 2, but I want to know everything about crochet now!!!  It has also opened up new possibilities for some of my stash which I just can’t find anything to knit with.  Obviously now I also have another excuse to spend even more time on Ravelry looking at all the patterns Sarah
