Making some progress on my Secret Paths shawl. I'm happy with the way it's coming along, but those back post DCs are slow going and make my hands ache. I really hope I love this when it's done!

It looks beautiful shelledpea. I just did that one a couple of months ago. I am planning to wear mine to a wedding in a couple of weeks as it matches my dress.

Following these threads has given me the crafting bug. I'm using YouTube to teach myself how to crochet granny squares. I don't know what I'll do with them yet, but it's a start. Welcome to the dark side meahahaha

I'm on a roll here. When I took the little yellow baby coat in to work, the girls loved it. One of them said that a girl in another of our branches is leaving in a couple of weeks to have her little girl, and asked whether I would make a pink coat for her from us all. That was my Thursday sorted! Well it was wet and windy anyway... I finished it this morning. Took me 10.5 hours and cost £2 in yarn. I found the buttons in DH's Nan's button tin, so they are properly vintage. So cute and I love the button story

The start of something amazing! I taught myself to crochet at age 10. I started by making granny squares to make hot water bottle covers that my father sold in his pharmacy with the hot water bottles. I then did very little beyond cushion covers and scarves until last year when I picked it up again to make a cardigan for myself for a church performance. I got hooked all over again. Since then I've made 2 more cardigans, a modesty panel, 3 pairs of socks, a pair of mittens, 2 hats and 2 baby coats. Actually having listed it all, that's even more than I realised! Welcome to the addiction.

We are all a fantastic group of enablers and do our best to suck everyone in! Please share pics of your granny squares when you get a chance. Thanks for the welcome! I'm not tech savvy enough to post pics, and trust me when I say they aren't pic posting worthy. But, maybe I'll work my way up to it.

Welcome, good to have you here. Once you feel comfortable with the basics you will be surprised how quickly you will be able to produce quite involved items. I would recommend this lady, her videos are every clear and easy to follow. Her website is itsallinanutshell.com/2017/02/25/nuts-about-squares-cal-2017/The link goes directly to a project which is made up of 35 squares. Plenty of different effects. I completed the blanket and found her videos very informative and a great way to learn. Here's an example. m.youtube.com/watch?v=h_zzefAmOsc

And at just gone midnight last night I finished these socks for my Mum. As I said, I'm on a roll. This week is going to be full of other things though, so I won't work on anything new just yet. These are so very cosy. And I'm getting fed up with pink!

berty I’m still making that blanket! I got about half way through and then something else caught my eye so I’ve left it for now. Along with a number of other projects; I’m very good at starting but not so good at finishing. I taught myself to crochet coming up to two years ago, mainly from YouTube and Blogs. You will definitely be able to make that blanket with the help of Esther’s videos. I dug my squares out a few months ago and was surprised I’d managed something so pretty! Welcome to the thread. There’s no going back.

Finished my little Pringle tube log house. Rubbish photos don`t show the two Hedgehogs, bunny bum and two mice. Made them of clay and the mushrooms. Little To Let sign made DGS smile. This mini is the first in 1/48th scale for me. Attachments:

phoenixcov that is just delightful! I have found all the little creatures too. The windows are quite charming. I was smiling a little at you saying it’s 1/48 scale. Of course, there must be life size ones somewhere.
