It's just practicing & practicing until you get the hang of crochet, then you never really forget it AND it is not nearly as heart breaking to undo (should you ever need to) as knitting. If you're splitting your wool you're probably just trying too hard because it's a technique that you've not used before. With all your other marvelous crafting you'll get the hang of it for sure & love it I hope! I prefer smaller projects these days as they give a quicker reward & are more likely to be completed. I keep thinking I'd love to make a blanket but I might have to take it in to elder care with me if I start something that big so I'll stick to little for now. Hope you have a lovely week with your mum..yay she'll be able to sniff the hyacinths too. By the way..what a delightful cushion with the heart on it. Look forward to seeing doily dollies : 0 Much love Catherine x0x0Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377061243543771813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-44547016254795993922012-07-26T16:43:49.282+12:002012-07-26T16:43:49.282+12:00Hi Sandy - thanks for your comment - guess you are...Hi Sandy - thanks for your comment - guess you are up to it in baby calves by now??!!

I was supposed to just knit a dishcloth and came back to class with a collar!
