My Creative Space - 101ing

Playing along with Kirsty's My Creative Space. Visit Kootoyoo to see more or join in.


I've been doing my own form of Crochet 101 all over again because I made a (for me) significant discovery... what I thought was a treble was actually a half treble... All this time I've been doing it wrong! ;)


My horoscope said I need to try something new, so I'm taking my discovery and applying it to 101 somethings new :)  Below is the Blackberry Salad stitch with half treble on top and proper treble underneath...


I'm trying out as many of the stitches as I can and will crochet them all together to hopefully form a kind of sampler blanket :)





Happy Creative Space day to everyone!

    Gorgeous Kylie, loving all the different textures and sample stitches already.
    Can't wait to see more, and also the finished blanket.
    xo
    PS I found out last year I don't crochet properly either, more to do with the holding of the hook etc.

    I love that you've been doing it wrong...probably I do too.

    It will probably come as no surprise to you that I like your "wrong" version of the blackberry. x

    Good for you learning something new! I think the idea of sampler blanket of all the different stitches is a great idea!

    I like the idea of putting all the different stitched squares together! Thats a gorgeous colour and stitch.

    I've started crocheting but don't really know what different stitches there are!x

    Oh, and I wish I could crochet, but it doesn't seem to click. I like your wrong blackberry too :-) How funny I'm making mulberries and you blackberries!

    Kylie that is such a great idea. I really love that you'll keep with the same colour but have different patterns through it. Enjoy your crochet.:)

    I too love to try new things but rarely seem to have the time to experiment. Have fun!

    I had a similar epiphany with knitting once upon a time. Realized I was doing the knit stitch backwards on several blankets. Oh, well, they looked the same at least!
