March 2008 Yes, this is supposed to be a blog about knitting, but today I am going to post about crochet. Crochet is not something that I do (although my Mum did try to teach me many moons ago). And boy do I wish I had listened more then. Ah well, we live and learn. Do you crochet? If so, then you may already get a lot of this stuff that I am about to talk about. If you do not crochet (and I am in that boat), then I am going to urge you to get yourself a crochet needle and have a go. So, what has gotten me all excited about crochet? To read more about the above sweater, check out the Finnish Ostrobothnian Museum's website . This sweater utilizes not just knitting, but large swathes of crochet, and it is the reason why people who only knit (people like me), or people who only crochet, should expand their horizons. Also, check out Carol Ventura's Tapestry crochet blog:

CROCHETED ROPE BASKET I love having little baskets and containers around to keep things tidy, and have really been wanting to experiment with different materials to crochet with recently. This little basket is not only a perfect way to practice crocheting with rope, but also to hold little odds and ends! For this project I used a Size P crochet hook and one package of clothesline rope. This rope is nylon, but it would be fun to use cotton rope and experiment with dyeing it different colors! To begin, start with a slipknot and then chain five stitches. In order to close up your loop, send your hook through the center of the original slipknot and chain one. Your loop should look like the one above. Send your hook through the center of the loop and single crochet six stitches. One completed round should look something like this. Chain one, and go around the circle again. Stitch markers definitely make it easier to keep track of where your rounds begin and end. Round and round we go... Keep going... and going...
