A classic tale of me learning a skill based on convenience. I want to get back into doll making now I’ve got the sewing machine, and had remembered seeing a crochet hook in the sewing kit I received for Christmas. Cut to me googling “How Difficult Is Crochet” on the bus, thinking – if it’s like knitting, I’ve got this. Turns out it’s WAY EASIER than knitting. You don’t even have to cast on and off.
I want to create little pieces of knitwear to sew my dolls into. I was thinking of binding them tiny books and giving them tiny satchels to carry them in, so I can have these lovely unique little fellas that bring joy. All that to come: presently I show you the result of two hours’ intense labour in front of the telly last night.
Not bad for someone who had never picked up a crochet hook yesterday morning, eh? My dolls will be so loved and warm!
