I failed my first try of lace shawl knitting though, and am thinking of trying lace crochet instead...Alessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605755512224178329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-31217525373791875752012-11-23T23:56:45.909+11:302012-11-23T23:56:45.909+11:30I think crocheting is easier, but I have not done ...I think crocheting is easier, but I have not done it as much so I should re-learn it. I love the circles you are making. I really should take the time to figure it out once more.

In knitting since every stitch is knitted off the needle, I can do it without watching. I think the best thing about crochet might be the joy of mixing colors so easily!Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946180982433360417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-12450677266576556862012-11-14T23:07:37.641+11:302012-11-14T23:07:37.641+11:30I love your knitting!

I keep meaning to get back to crochet, I agree, more portable and if you make a mistake easier to pull out! My mums recently rediscovered crochet and there's no stopping her, it's even led to her joining ravelry ( she's very timid about any kind of online registering) soi think I might have to pick something up for when I next visit so we can sit and crochet together!!

You're right crochet is definitely more portable and pick-upable.<br /><br />I'm in knitting mode at the moment, just finished my waistcoat today and already thinking of starting another. (Don't mention the unfinished gansey!)<br /><br />Enjoy your circles, very pretty ice cream shades.snippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455223528958815846noreply@blogger.com
