I’m crochetting a scarf right now, halfway there. I like the fact that I can do it and watch tv at the same time.

Tell us about that yarn and hook. :orange_heart:

The hook is size 5, nothing special. I have them in all sizes. I have them more than 30 years I guess (I’m 52). Because they are more thick it’s easier to hold them. The yarn is a leftover. It’s better for knitting but it works this way too :hugs:

It looks like you’re doing single crochet? My hooks have rubber handle too. Viscose is a word I have never seen before. Looking that up

I had to Google on your term “single crochet”. I’m Dutch and it’s called “vasten” in my language.

Maybe you know viscose as rayon? It’s the same.
Update: rayon is a Dutch word I guess. Googled and found synthetic silk for it.

@SassyRocks - Knitting over the holidays was really good for my anxiety. It was something I looked forward to doing every day as it calmed my mind. (Even though about every five minutes I was like WHAT DID I JUST DO???) And it was just fun making something for someone I love.

Learning to read patterns is on my to-do list. Do you use different stitches? I’m learning different ones to see which I like. So far my favorite is the seed stitch. Or maybe slip stitches. I’m trying to master that one but it’s so hard to keep it loose.

Not this time, just easy going :grin:
I like to do different stiches too, but not when I watch tv :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Are you just trying the stitches or also making something to stay?

I need to start again (I learned both in school, besides sewing and even how to work with wood), it’s the best way to relax! I always wanted to knit a blanket :heart_eyes:
