UmmTwins2 weldone mah cos for a self taught, u have gone far oh. learning basic stitches in crochet helped me catch up fast but I have a cheat sheet *** covers face** wetin we go do now, we must crochet noni. LOL

waves to ynnk, tatacherie ( making owo all the time ), alphahandmaiden, rezzy, supertender tochex101.

have a lovely day.

tatacherie:

Yessoo thanks a lot.
I'll clap after delivering it tommorow at least by then I know my cash is in my pockit lol.

abi o. our hustle must pay in Jesus name.

AlphaHandMaiden:


Google crochet edging to have an idea. Then when you do your base circle abi na cylinder/ ring, you do an edging that corresponds with the number of stitches in your base. Ie. Most edging will have a repetition of a set number of stitches e.g the pattern repeats every 10 stitches so your base ring will be in multiple of 10.
Then most likely finish the with a slip stitch /picot sticth as the last round.

To add stiffness... i believe you will need to starch and dry it on a maniquine head or bowl or something, to help maintain its shape.

I hope i am making sense...

perfect sense ma'am. longest time. I'm picking up new things from everyone.

ummtwins2 hope to see your finished work ma'am.

Ynnk:
@supertender, I found this :

You can use single strand yarn so that it is lightweight. The good thing about this one is that you draft a paper pattern based on the child's measurement. And then make as many motifs as will fill up your paper pattern.

hmm, learning new things from my oga. thanks

tatacherie:
Fresh off the hook

Sharon6:


Thanks you!
Please did you double the yarn for the shoes and what hook size did you use?

yes I double the yarn for all my crochet works cos yeye yarn is not as thick as some foreign yarn.

also, I used my 4mm hook, but the pattern youbare following will specify the hook size to use.

hope I tried answering your questions.

hello sharon6, I used yeye yarn. I bought them from a local market where I stay. also, yeye yarn can now be purchased online from their website (yeyeshopcart dot com).

rezzy:
Learning from here


I tried crocheting baby shoe but I didn't get the sole, after finishing, it looks like canoe, so I didn't make the second leg.

I later used Bethany sample on sole. Thats the sole

Pic 2,
Making Puppy love slouchy hat. Still on it.

my sister, follow ynnk's advice, she knows better.

also one thing I have come to know about crocheting is that you need a large dose of patience and everyday practise.

I remembered when tatacherie n I started our crochet class LMAO. our beanie were like baskets

but now we are better and we are still trying to improve.
just keep doing it and you can also check page 4/of this thread. it will help n encourage you.


haaaa now I have joined AlphaHandMaiden on the epistle wagon LOL.

Happy hooking madam.

@ barbie1018
this is my own converse and newsboy hat.

theToro:
Thank you all. Maybe 200 is the price here in Abuja then. Used to buy baby wool for 120 and I never doubled it, used it to make the top and it came out well. I'll try the yeye wool but I have to double it?

try to double it and I assure you there's no going back.

Ynnk:
@Goodhart, Tatacherie and everyone, the ministry is indeed moving :-)
Keep them coming!

yesso our oga, so happy for the new crocheters.

barbie1018:
I just finished making them and I used red heart yarn.

waoh, they are lovely.

I'm working on this too , but I'm using yeye yarn.

are you in Nigeria, pls where did you get your red hart yarn .

hi Ynnk, we are having inflow of more crocheters this week. that's great!!! the ministry is moving on

bolubej:


Good evening everyone, I stumbled on this page this week. I got 8pieces of yeye wool for 1250 in ibadan while the 16pieces is sold for 2500

yes that's the price in Ilorin. so far in naija, yeye for me is the best

Ynnk:
Moving on...

morning Ynnk,

weldone ma'am with the blanket. I noticed that this yarn is quite different from our normal yeye yarn. also, you are using a strand of yarn( u didn't double it). hope the work won't be too soft.

I'm just wondering cos I am used to doubling my yarn .
