Reindeer Tapestry Mat
is my first attempt at adding pretty images
to my crochet.
(I am a late bloomer)
Working from a
Japanese book (Applemints ISBN: 9784021904936)
it took a little while (half a day & two pots of tea) to work out
where I was going wrong.
Apparently,
you have to alternate your rows from
‘front to back’ to ‘back to front’.
i.e.
on alternative rows, you insert your hook from the
back of your work (not the front)
& yarn over.
Easy when you know how.
The alternative
is to learn how to crochet with your other hand.
I tried that too. It didn’t go so well.
(It really didn’t)
Anyway,
as you can see I have made a
Reindeer mat.
Its not a bad effort for a first attempt,
but I definately need to work on my technique
& maybe my yarn colour choices.
What to try next?!
