I came home from the Wool Haven’s crochet class with two balls of King Cole Dish Cloth & Craft Cotton to try; one in cream (2311), the other in fuchsia (2313)

Weaving – getting started
In my last post I explained how I ended up with a toy heddle loom which then I didn’t touch it for a year. ?

Amigurumi Elephant 2
One of the ladies who comes to the Wool Haven crochet classes is interested in amigurumi and brought a pattern she purchased from Etsy to show me. Of course I wanted a shot at it.

Cotton Scarf
Another impulse buy from Wool Haven; this time Debbie Bliss Cotton DK Print.

Multi Cotton Bag
This has been worked with Anchor Creativa Fina 100% cotton

Decorative jar cover
This started as a “can you translate the pattern” project although I’m pretty sure the lady who asked would have worked it out the tricky bit by herself in time.

Flowers
I was asked to bring in some decorative flower patterns for the crochet class, so I chose these 3 to show how easy it is to crochet varying types.

All the Yarn
All yarn for knitting or crocheting is made from natural or synthetic fibers. Different types have different qualities – some good, some not so good. These can also be blended by manufacturers to offset an undesirable characteristic – such as itchiness – as much as I love pure wool I can’t wear it. I’ve tried to put together some of the most common.
