Crochet: The Schoolie Scarf

Crochet: The Schoolie Scarf

Is a shawl/scarf I made in May, but for a number

of reasons…

pc,

tonsil,

weather,

meltdown

has only just made it onto

Sewing Daisies.

The Schoolie Scarf?

Is it the same colour as your old school uniform?

It is!

I know a lot of people

have issues with wearing their old colours, but I am more than

happy to wear bottle green.

 (yes, yes)

It’s quite a chunky knit for you, isn’t it?

Tell me about it.

I normally use a hook range of 2mm-4mm,

but for this pattern I used 10mm!

It was very awkward.

How awkward?

Knitting awkward!

It felt like I was crocheting with an oar.

I guess the only way to get over that, is to crochet

with larger hooks…more often.

And try knitting again?

Funny so should say that.

I recently bought some bamboo knitting needles,

and a Japanese knitting book.

Baahaha!

I can’t wait to see how that works out.

It might work.

I couldn’t crochet until I started using

Japanese crochet books.

True, I say go for it.

I haven’t had a good laugh since…well, the last time

you tried to knit.

 I knew I could count on your support…(sigh)

I have always got your back!

Thanks…see you next week.

The Schoolie Scarf pattern is from a Japanese crochet book ISBN: 978-452-904-7753. I buy my Japanese books from Pomadours Craft Cafe on Etsy.
