We're off and there's no looking back!
It was nice to see so many people crocheting this afternoon at the church. A hearty welcome to our newest member, Paul, who joined us last week.
We've come so far in only 3 weeks. Here's a snapshot of our progress:
- Five - 12" squares have been completed (incredible progress!!) and I haven't even started mine yet
- 3 people are working on 12" Yo-Yo squares
- 1 person is making a modified square from the 63 granny square afghan book
- 3-4 people are making traditional granny squares
- The remaining crocheters are refining their stitches (single crochet and double crochet)
Kudos to:
- Martha who has completed 3 - 6" granny squares.
- Phyllis who has picked some complex-looking square patterns for her gorgeous 12" squares
- Gwen who has some pretty impressive colour-work in her 12" squares.
Also next Sunday, I'll be bringing a crochet skills inventory for everyone to complete. Essentially, if you can check off the skills that you've learned, you'll have a better idea of where you are in your learning curve. Once you have all the skills checked on your list, you can move on to the next level.
So far, I have the following skills on the inventory list:
- Slip knots
- Chains (ch)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Double crochet (dc)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
- Finishing off (FO)
- Sewing in ends
- Reading a basic pattern
Finally, I need to remember to bring my camera with me next week. I'd love to get a photo of the squares that have been completed so I can post them to the blog.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. Excellent work!
