Thank you for your encouragement! I h...Dear Gillian<br />Thank you for your encouragement! I have done a bit more to it, with a few undoings along the way, but it still doesn't look as though it will ever be a hat! I may settle for it being coaster instead and then try a simple granny square or two!<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie<br />Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-50885671292595177532013-05-16T21:04:20.870+01:002013-05-16T21:04:20.870+01:00Goodness, for a first attempt this is amazing!

I do want to be able to make things using crochet though, so will keep trying. I see so many lovely things on people's blogs and it is the thought of one day being able to make something like that that will keep me motivated.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-69033999333962113672013-05-15T15:37:32.558+01:002013-05-15T15:37:32.558+01:00Practice makes perfect Ellie!

I look at other people's lovely creations and wish I could do that, but I keep telling myself it takes time to become good at something. It also felt as though I was all fingers and thumbs too and my co-ordination seemed to have disappeared! At one point, I couldn't even tie a slip knot! Early days, and I shall keep going (for a while, anyway!)<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-63637856639424398142013-05-14T22:36:15.984+01:002013-05-14T22:36:15.984+01:00Dear Mirjam

I have to say that it wasn't that relaxing - in fact I had been hunching my shoulders so much, I had real neck ache when I finally stopped! I am sure that if I continue and perhaps even improve, I will find it more relaxing. The hours certainly flew past!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-35157388488223179022013-05-14T22:33:19.332+01:002013-05-14T22:33:19.332+01:00Dear Shirley

I would imagine everyone else will have finished and be onto something else, but I shall plod on with the hat/tea cosy/hand warmer (whatever it eventually turns into!)regardless.
