Pattern designed by Heather Johnston
Just a quick post to show off last night’s project — a fan motif.
I had to start over three times because I kept getting my work turned around and joining to the wrong ring. And I had to rip out a stretch because I refused to start over a fourth time.
But I finally got it done! I am thrilled that even beginner projects can turn out pretty!
The pattern is by Heather Johnston. You can see it here.

I simply can’t get that pattern. I think I am going to try to do it visually instead of following the printed directions.

/ September 28, 2010I am laughing as I type this……I crocheted a baby afgan for my new granddaughter…….it should have been 3-4 afgans by the time I had ripped out and started over.
I fumed, fussed, cussed, and put myself into “time-out” (ahem, many times)……..I finally decided to repeat the “mistakes” in several rows to get a new pattern going………was afraid I was wearing out the yarn!! : )
Tried knitting, that required both hands to work together at same time, was a really bad idea…………really bad.
So I really am in awe of your ability to work with “thread” and create these designs…..mine would look more like crunched up dental floss……haha
Think I may crochet curtains for the A!!
yeah, right!!!

/ September 29, 2010I went through the same thing with making up new patterns because I kept making mistakes when I was in my 20’s. Funny, my patterns never looked quite as good as what I had planned! 😀
I actually gave up on knitting and crocheting for a couple of decades. Then I rediscovered them, and everything seemed to work a lot more smoothly the second time around.
Actually, on my part, learning to tat is no special talent. It’s just a dogged determination to learn … and recognizing when I need to work on something easier until I learn a little more.
I am really giggling at the thought of you doing crocheted curtains for the Aliner. Yeah…. Go for it! 😀
