Greetings to u all.@ love maths I would appreciate if u can help me with a written tutorial of d crocrodile stitch.I love to make a croco stitch headband
Headband/ballerina

Those are lovely!!! The crocodile stitch is hard to explain with words. I really wish I could help you. I think you should read the tutorial and watch/download the video. study them several times and it will sink in.

iyomomo:
Beautiful skirt. Just dis morning i planned to make crocodile stitch booties n beanie. Will post pics wen done.

Thanks. That would be nice. I have a better picture. This is the 11th row.

I have started work on the crocodile stitch skirt. It consumes a lot of yarn but I won't give up.

Iyomomo thanks, the toothbrush hook is ingenious. I wish I knew about it before now. Someone already ordered for hooks for me from Amazon. The arrive on the 2nd of March. I am so excited.

Happy New Month to everyone in advance.

I am finally done with the valentine heart purse.

Spiritualgal:
This is an upload of my work. I don't know why it's not coming out well by the sides.
@lovemaths, Tnx. @Ynnk, pls see my work. @ all Good morning

It's like you are crocheting on the turning chain.

Spiritualgal:
Thank you for your warm welcome. I have started seeing the tutorials online and even made a chain(lol). I'll try and upload it for all to see. Please where can i get the bigger needle as the one i got is the 1mm hook and its coming out tiny and im finding it difficult starting the 2nd line(if you understand wat i mean)

Lemme go and watch more crocheting video so that i can become a guru like you.

1mm is too tiny. I can imagine. I made use of 1.5mm hook for 2 years until last week that my Facebook friends sent me a 3mm hook from Greece.

If you are in Lagos, go to trade fair. You can also find it at shoprite in the section that sells yarn, thread and needles. Bobijoe makes wooden hooks in Nigeria.

Spiritualgal:
Good morning, I ll love to join y'all in ds crocheting journey. I 'v r peeping in for a while and just summoned the courage to join. I don't know anything about crocheting so I'm finding it difficult understanding Ynnk's tutorials. I need all your assistance and help to learn this. Ynnk, lovemaths, trublus, lumiade, tatacherie, and all other crotcherers, Hope I'm welcome?

Welcome Spiritualgal. I learnt the basics of crochet as a child in the streets of Lagos in the early 90s. I always have a hook in my possession but I never crocheted again until 2013 during my NYSC with my 16mm hook...

I think you should apply the SQS (Survey, Quick read and Slow read) approach to Ynnk's tutorials. If you still don't get it, browse crochet tutorials for beginners and watch/download YouTube videos. Some people are visual learners. You can also ask a child in secondary school to teach you the basic stitches. Remember practice makes perfect. Try to download and read patterns.

My dear your memory(RAM) shifted from it's slot when your laptop fell and needs resitting. That's all. Just loose the small cover (covering your hard drive) under your laptop and remove the RAM then put it back or take it to a professional and tell him to do what I just said...I ain't guessing

I have done that already. I am a graduate of computer science. I suspect the hard disk is the problem. I do not want to lose my files. Thanks for your contribution.

Hello crocheters in the house!
I stumbled on crocheting a few months ago, while thinking of something to keep busy while pregnant , crocheted a pair of booties & hat, but d booties ended up not being so equal,(cos i miscounted stiches n thot it wont matter, was wrong)LoooOOL. one wud only notice if looked at really closely. I also started a blanket but dint get half way, cos i had a traumatic loss. Av been so angry didnt want to finish d project or start another, i angrily just kept everything locked away.
But a few days ago i decided to start crocheting afresh again, though I'm not yet pregnant again, but i want to prepare in advance.
I've been inspired by u mummy "honey bunny" tatacherie( i follow u from d other thread) congrats on ur princess.
Ynnk, lovemaths, trublvr, lumiadee, valobit & all not mentioned, u guys are creating very beautiful things. Hope i can be like u wen i grow up ; )

Thanks and welcome back. Practice makes perfect.

Wow! I'm seriously following on d crocodile stitch.I love it

I fell in love with this crochet crocodile stitch skirt. I'll try to make it. The crocodile stitch consumes a lot of yarn but the layered effect is beautiful.

I just received a 3mm hook gift from my Facebook friend and fellow Crocheter from Greece. I am so excited. Now I can start the crocodile stitch patterns and graphghans on my to do list.

My phone Pavilion g6 fell off the stool, made a continuous clicking sound then I shut it down. When I tried to boot it, with Windows refuse to load. I just see a black screen.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

I see an industry in crochet.

No problem. Could u give me a call? I'm free now. So we can discuss further.

Ynnk, Trublvr, Lumiadee, Sharoniah, Tatacherie, and any other crocheter and/or knitters, this is my number. 07037679643. My Twitter handle is (at) ValieDan. I believe we can all work together to achieve somethin great. Especially now the govt is advocating made in Nigeria products.
Shalom.

I am in a noisy cafe. I will call you when I get home.

Don't mind them. because he is from Africa. they did that to Toure once because the goal came late and was an equalizer forgetting that eto dike na nke o meere o mekwa ozo. they just killed his spirit.

Valobit:
Ynnk, wow!!! U r gifted.

Lovemaths, very good suggestion.

Could we start with a whatsapp group? My whatsapp number is 07037679643. Add me, let's start a whatsapp group, and see how it grows.

Tatacherie, beautiful booties. How's baby?

Trublvr, lumiadee, and Sharoniah, how una dey?

I am not on whatsapp for now but I am on facebook. I can't afford the subscription.

Valobit:
Hi beloved crocheted. I've been following this thread since I discovered it. Ynnk God bless you rekindling the love of crochet. I just want to make this request. Let us create an association for knitters and crocheters. Crocheters and knitters association of Nigeria (CRAKAN). What do u guys think?
Happy Valentine

That is a good idea. It took me a long time to find fellow crocheters in Nigeria . I searched on Facebook, Twitter, instagram and Google. We should create a Facebook group first then brainstorm. This is a big industry in the textile sector with huge potentials for employment.

I would be glad to help anyone who may have issues with charted patterns. Charts are not graphs, please! I am afraid of graph patterns, so I just avoid them, and thankfully none of my customers has commissioned one yet![/quote]I love making graphghans. That's what I specialize in.

Lumiadee:
hi lovemaths( i like ur moniker ) i think ynnk n trublvr should be in the best position to answer ur questions. cos they are more versed in this than i am.

Thanks

Ynnk:
If you buy via mall for Africa, you will have to pick it up at their office.
Amazon delivers to the address you quote normally. Just make sure the address is one that can be located with ease.

Thanks. I am tired of asking Jamb questions from the person who ordered them.

Ynnk:
@Lumiadee. You can get it from Amazon.

Please when you buy something from Amazon, do they bring it to your doorstep? Someone ordered a set of crochet hooks from abroad.
