Funkadot makes loops

Well, I never thought I'd be excited to see my first granny square completed, but here it is! Its crocheted in DK acrylic and measures 7" x 7". I learned the 'puff stitch and the 'cluster stitch' while doing this as well, which actually took me ages to figure out. Once I could see how the the instructions translated into a stitch, it was definitely a lot clearer.

I seem to have a bit of bother reading the instructions, as I definitley find it easier to be shown rather than read what I've to do.

Anyway, I'm not sure If I'll continue on with any more of this particular square, as the colors aren't my first choice, probably better for a baby blanket or something. I do actually fancy making myself a nice afghan, although its not really coming up for warm blanket season, its always nice to have one about.

If you like this granny square, then you can find the pattern here free!

Hello!

Welcome to the funkadot spot! A blog for my hobbies and crafts.

I've recently taken up crocheting and quickly becoming very addicted indeed! After making several items and little bits and pieces, I'm eager to get my teeth into something a little more adventurous. I can get yarn pretty cheaply for now, so it means that I can make quite a few mistakes and keep them without having to unravel everything I do and save the yarn for something later on.

If at some point, [and that time may never arrive, but I can live in hope lol] the things I make are any good, and someone would like to buy them, then it would be superb, but until then I hope to learn as much as I can and perhaps swap some tips with other crocheters and crafters!

Thanks for reading, and have a fab day!
