I've always wanted to learn how to crochet with my left hand too. It would definitely give you some advances!

Though - come to think of it. Sometimes it is not necessary. See here how to do a Reversed Tunisian Top Stitch - aka Reversed Bump Stitch.

It is SO easy!

Do you sometimes find that some of your clothes could use something extra?

I have this lovely way-too-big sweater. It is great for a rainy day, when you just want to stay indoor doing crochet. Only thing is; the neck is too open. So my chest gets cold.

Recently a clever girl on Facebook told me, I could use Tunisian Top Stitch as a rib. So I wanted to try that on my sweater.

A little Toy for Your Next Project?

Babies love smiley faces. This is a happy little sun that crackles when squeezed. The sun is loved by my 1½-year old girl as well as my 3-year old toddler. You can make it of leftover yarn.

It is perfect as a present for a baby shower. Make 3 of them and put them on a string and you have a stroller toy, the baby will love!

The Smiley Sun amigurumi pattern is currently available as part of a 3-piece package at LoveCrafts in Danish and English.

Or can be bought individually at Ravelry in both Languages.

I am busy on a project, but I don't know what I'm doing!
I've joined another Mystery Crochet-A-Long.

Deadline for joining now is Tuesday October 11th.
So Hurry Up if you want to join too!

You can find the Facebook group for the CAL here.

Nice looking edges are important, if you want to make a decent work. But sometimes they are teasing. One of the better tricks to know, is how to make the first stitch in a row look good.
For instance: There are different advices of how to start a double crochet row. Some do two chains others do three chains. And - SIGH! - sometimes it feels like 2½ chain would be better.

There is actually an even prettier way to start a new row.

Oh my! My first official pattern as a designer is now uploaded to LoveCrafts.

I am now waiting for approval from their team. I didn't even know they were supposed to approve anything.

I bought this yarn at Magical Yarns (Magiske Garner). It is rolled up on cones. I needed some way for it to turn, when I pull the thread. So it doesn't get twisted.

SO, what to do?!

You've found this little project on the internet you want to try. It is Tunisian Crochet, so... do you need to buy a special Tunisian hook for it? Maybe not.

I went to a Danish yarn exhibition today. There were yarn, yarn, patterns, tools and more yarn on display. And 50 workshops in 3½ days. 500 workshop seats all sold out!
