Crochety

[mothwing]

I've always been about as good at anything involving yarn as the average cat is, so I usually avoid it. I decided to give it another go this week and am currently making a crocodile pattern scarf:

This is a crocodile pattern:



Haven't gotten very far yet, but this is the idea (the colours are off because of the flash, it's actually a much more subdued orange and a greyish blue):


The back is not as pretty, unfortunately:

Very pretty pattern!
I sadly forgot to take a picture of the scarf I knitted for my son: a very easy to do pattern, but very effective: the scarf looked as if put together from lots of triangles.

Very nice! I'm hopeless with this sort of thing, so I'm always impressed when people can make such pretty things.

It's lovely! I've always wanted to try crochet but never have. I don't read patterns well and the books I've looked through that say they'll teach you might as well be written in ancient greek for all that I can make sense of them. So I'm very impressed. I think you're doing very well so far! :D

That looks lovely! And I'm flattered you use our national colour. Such a pretty stitch, too.

I'm not too bad at needlework, but the pattern doesn't look easy to me! The only things I'm usually crocheting are potholders, some doll's clothes and small bags for the girls. This looks beautiful and I works well with the colours, I think, but I can't imagine right now how this will work as a scarf; it looks a bit thick for it? But well executed in any case!

It looks great to me! What an interesting and neat pattern. I'm positively hopeless when it comes to yarn and knitting and crocheting; I always admire when others are able to do it!
