I am crochet disabled. This is a fact. On Saturday night, a simple crochet steek almost defeated me. I was extremely close to throwing it in and getting out the sewing machine. But I persevered.
Steeks marked.
Steeks crocheted. You don’t need to see the preparation shots. Imagine lots of swearing and foot stamping. In fact, I shouldn’t have said anything.
Back up, and pretend you didn’t read anything else I said. Just see the steeks marked, then crocheted. Ta da! Easy!
Preparing to cut. I always put a magazine or something inside the garment so that I don’t accidentally cut the back!
It’s started. Oh my God.
Half way up, not falling apart. (Me or the jumper!)
Done! It’s a cardi!!
Open.
Inside close up for those so inclined.
Phew.
It’s a cardi!! A gorgeous cardi!
That is beautiful. So neat – although I expected nothing else from you. And on such a tiny gauge! Well done.
perfect colour, can’t wait to see it!
oh my god i was breathless just reading about it. so brave. and so pretty. cant wait to see it on.
WOW

good on you for persisting too
I refuse to believe you are crochet disabled, heh! Certainly have no problems with the knitting! Wow! Looks fantastic! (but all those ends! Gah!)
Congratulations!! It looks awesome! I have not done any steeking yet…hoping to avoid it as long as I can.
Well done. It looks fabulous.
Brilliant – Swearing and crochet challenges overcome.
Not just done, but beautifully done. Great colour combination, by the way.
Yeah, the cutting is done.
It’s gorgeous! And impressive! Well done.
Wow! Well done you!
We are having a steeking workshop with M-H at our next meeting. Breathe in, breathe out!
Your work is always so beautiful. Complain though you will, it always looks effortless.
