Crochet?

[MommytoMJM]

Does anyone here crochet?

 

[dreams91]

I do.

 

[Twigs]

I do too

 

[MommytoMJM]

Cool! Have you ever crocheted anything Disney? I saw some patterns for Pooh and Friends, but I haven't gotten them yet. I also make scrunchies so I am planning to make Disney Scrunchies with colors and beads to match characters.

I made the Pooh stuffed bear. He's about 16" tall and took a while to make. I'm not a really experienced person with the patterns though and I found the pattern difficult to decipher in spots. Also, there are some decided mistakes in the count in the pattern.
Still, I do intend to make Eeyore soon.

Sounds Awesome Lydia!

I may tackle it, but I tend to do projects that I can finish sooner...Has anyone ever done crochet swaps? I haven't done one in ages, but I'd like to do one again...

I haven't done anything Disney, those hair scrunchies sound very interesting, could you describe how you make them? Or is it too complicated to get into here. I have a sweater pattern that is done in tunision (spelling?)) crochet, but I haven't attemped it yet. I really love the way the sweater looks.

I love Tunisian Crochet!

Scrunchies are easy, you crochet around the rubber band and then use a pattern stitich, here is a link to some patterns: http://crochet.about.com/od/scrunchies/index.htm

I ususally use the patterns as a guide but make up most of it on my own.

i've tried to crochet, but have a lot of trouble with tension. knitting is easier for me...

I saw the mickey and minnie crochet blanket book at JoAnn...I would SO do that if I could crochet...oh well. LOL

LOL I have the opposite problem. My tension is all off with knitting. I keep telling myself to just keep at it and try knitting as there is so much you can do with it, but I always remember dropping a stitch and it ran all the way to the bottom. My sister tells me that is easy to fix, but if I drop a stitich with crocheting, I just put the hook back into the loop!

And thanks for the link to the scrunchies, I think I will try a few.

 

[MommytoMJM]

Glad you liked the links! Scrunchies are so much fun. My next project is a year of Disney Scrunchies.

I can't get the tension right in knitting to save my life!

Yep I do as well! I actually started out knitting and wanted to crochet as well but couldn't figure out how for the life of me. I was getting really frustrated wondering why I couldn't crochet but I could knit. Finally I tried one last time I looked at some stichguide videos and it clicked. I was so excited. I like the look of knitted items better though but crochet is quicker for me.

I have been crocheting for over 30 yrs. My grandmother taught me. I love crocheting for my grand children now. But I broke my right arm 4 wks. ago. I have gone in crcchet withdrawal Hopefully I will get this darn cast off Fri.! I am so happy I found this board-Disney lovers and crocheters-how much better can it get!

 

[Twigs]

First-timer those flip flops are great! Could you describe how you do that?

 

[First-timer]

you crochet with 2 strands of the fuzzy yarn and go around the top and then the part that goes inbetween your toes and then the other side its very easy!! you wrap around 2 times then go through the last whole..... its hard to explain...... my kids and their friends love them..... i get the flip flops from old navey...... vicki
