Most How to crochet books will get straight in to showing you the traditional stitches and you will likely have a go at making a dish cloth swatch. My most recent book which is “ Two Stitch Crochet Art “ is the most up to date. I wish I had the energy to make another book about “How to Cordcrochet” but It would give me severe brain ache. Making videos is so much easier, especially Now that I have a proper craft room. I have had craft rooms on a narrowboat, hay wagon, a bus a safari caravan, a static home and even on a boat in Australia! Now I make videos in a house! The two stitches I teach first are chain and slip stitch, then a flower. I also have a mixed media approach , so adding stitcky gems ( and bees and lady birds too) Adds a fun element instead of heaps of practice, I prefer wonky to straight edges. We don’t follow patterns, we experiment with hook and yarn and make it up as we go. I just spent an hour playing with cordcrochet. No rules.

It could be just 10 but I need a likely infinite number, so 100 it is. I had a wonderful class today in my local library 4 children were new. I realise that each time I have newcomers, they can start with the chain length and the flower or sometimes they can join in with a new/or previous idea. Last week we did bullion stitch.

Hi there, I realized I joined this group with every intention of participating. I apologize and want to let you know that I am keeping this on my skool.com list with plans to try to catch up as I can, when I can. I am currently having to be absent from various things, including my skool places right now due to life happening all around me in a very chaotic way. I will be back. I love what you are doing! Cheers! Oh, PS, I recently had the urge to crochet a hot water bottle cover. I plan to add a pocket to it and some small backpack crocheted straps so I can use it lightly when I don't need it for a hot water bottle cover.

So how does the latch hook and the Cordmaker work… Have you got a latch hook? Have you tried it?
