Learn a crochet stitch every day

Going through my favorite stitch book(s) I spied the Solomon’s Knot. I had never done this one before.

Curious to try – I grabbed my BIG crochet hook F/5 (3.75 mm) and began practicing (playing!). Can’t say as my first few attempts were great so I went onto youtube and found a video to step through to that AH HA! moment…..as usual I was making it too hard.

TIP: I do use larger hooks generally to learn a new stitch along with yarn not thread. By doing that I’m able to see quickly where all the connections/definitions are, then I go to thread and try.

Check out SUNDAY’S GIRL. Just imagine what other ideas will come from my AH HA! moment.

Again, I’m challenging you to pick up your #10 thread and US 7 (1.50 mm) crochet hook.

The Froggin is over

So, what happens when the design process of crochetin, froggin, changin, documentin is over? You go to your EDITOR of course!

Unless you are a master crochet editor its always best if someone other than yourself reads through your pattern. The reason for this is simple, when you review you are seeing your personal history of a particular design. A crochet technical editor draws on their vast crochet technical pattern language and experience.

In my experience using a crochet tech editor saves me time in the long run and gives me confidence that what I am publishing can be followed by YOU! This is a great lesson as you perfect your designing skills to use professionals when you can.

The designs I have been working on since my last post in July’2018 are headed to the Editor now, let’s hope she has time now for me – because I can’t wait to share these with you!
