Has anyone crocheted with scheepjes whirl? I am debating what size crochet hook. I tend to crochet tight. 4 mm is the smallest size I own. I am thinking that a 3.5 might be right. I just want some back up before I go buying another hook. I used a 3.5, I'm a loose hooker so a bigger hook looked messy to me.

jeremysgirl I used 4mm for my Dragon Belly shawl, I wanted it fairly open. My current Whirl project (Grinda - which has includes some sections of filet) I had to go down to 3mm to get gauge. I'd say I'm neither a particularly tight nor loose hooker. I agree for your Buddha you won't want it too open - I'd probably work up a sample swatch with both 3.5mm and 4mm and see which you prefer. If you normally work quite tight you may well be fine with the 4mm.

My granddaughter arrived on Saturday, and my knitting mojo is back! I've been out shopping this morning, and now have 3 little cardigan projects ready to go. Her name is Sophia, and she is just wonderful! Congratulations! Wishing you much joy

The Hourglass uses over a thousand metres of yarn and the Northern Sea uses about 700 metres. I probably will make both of them eventually.

I love your projects. I need to work on mine again. I have new drama in my life that has take priority. (We might move).

OMG. How do I get to be a friend of yours worthy of such a gift? Such a sweet thing to say. To be honest, I rarely make things for others but my friend loved it and I know she'll appreciate the fact that it's handmade. It's not a difficult piece, the designer has made a great job of making it a feast for the eyes. Afraid to say, I've made no progress, still have seven triangles to make, life is not conducive to crafting at the moment.

I am excited! I will check out my local Sally Ann for good yarn! This will be a nice shawl, too.

lainey your quilt blocks are fab and what a great yarn bargain. Loving some of the patterns in that Etsy shop, she has some really pretty ones for lace weight yarn which I have a small stash of with no plans for yet.

Gorgeous blocks lainey and your yarn is one heck of a bargain. Do you have a swift or swifter or whatever it is called for making balls or do you do it manually, like I would, with either another person, a chair or your knees!

Thank you for the lovely comments about my blocks

My son just sent my this photo of little Sophia in one of the cardigans I knit for her. She looks so cosy and content, and still has some 'grow room'
