Do you want me to send you some wool to get you started, PM me if you do, I've got plenty here.   Back to top Jellycat 4 Star Club Joined: 16 Jun 2006 Posts: 1732 Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:49 am    Post subject: I'm afraid I couldn't make hide nor hair of those instructions - I must have missed something crucial, or maybe I'm just being hard of thinking! If I get 10 minutes to myself this weekend, I'll have another go from the start... _________________ http://www.pennycottage.co.uk You can't have everything - where would you put it?

Does anyone still want to do a square later on after mastering the basics?

I am being rather hard of thinking I think.... _________________ http://www.pennycottage.co.uk You can't have everything - where would you put it?

I struggle with this too as the square is never just quite right. My Granny always used to start mine off for me, probably why i struggle now! I've got more books in the house, I'll check them out today.   Back to top Aqui 4 Star Club Joined: 16 Jun 2006 Posts: 1720 Location: In a world of my own Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:16 am    Post subject: oh dear. i started so well and then it all came to a grinding halt. i'd love to try a square ti see how it all goes together. i've been studying the blanket gran crocheted for me when i was a baby - which i still use as a lap blanket in the winter - but i just can't work out how she did it! she's not well enough now to ask her. _________________ Aqui, T and Baby Jack!
