I get up really early in the mornings, don't know why, I just do. This is the sort of thing I've been doing recently, as I sit quietly drinking tea and waiting for eight o'clock when Graham gets up...
It's not perfect , I'm still a beginner. These little doll sized blankets are perfect for me to practice different stitches and to learn to follow a pattern. The most difficult part for me is getting the beginning chain the right length as I need to only make the blanket doll sized. But I'm getting there.
I have noticed that some crocheters have a vocabulary all of their own. Things like 'super easy', 'ever so slightly', 'super pleased', 'super early', 'happy things' (when referring to doing normal stuff), 'hooky time' (when referring to doing a bit of crochet), 'prettifying', 'hooky handiwork', knitty post', etc that are used too frequently. I must be just about the most grumpy old woman on earth. I know I'm a very cynical woman too. You'd think I was a pessimist but I'm not. I also love feminine things but I just don't like this gooey type of talk.... sorry if I offend anyone about this.
