My one daughter is quite artistically talented and sells some of her work online for spending money while at college, in addition to tutoring math. She requested artist coloring pencils as a Christmas present. The artist set she wanted cost me almost $100... are you kidding me... for pencils?
They make a difference. A person is only as good as their tools.
Wait for it------
Well, that's what somebody said....
...yep, yep.....good artist pencils are crazy stupid in price....
I don't usually crochet as I prefer the look of knitting but wanted to try doing crochet cables. Made this afghan for my daughter for Christmas (2018) for that project. Am trying to get an early start on this year's handmade Christmas gifts.
That's beautiful and looks so cozy!! Smart to get started so soon.
Very cool! I woulda never quessed that afghan was crocheted. Are those chains forming the cables?
Beautiful. Love the color.
They're triple crochet but you have to skip 3 and then go back to the skipped stitches, first crocheting in front of the piece and then on the next round moving over 3 and the skipped stitches are done from behind and under the ones just worked. I'm not describing that well.
I tried doing the pattern from the instructions (Lion Brand and free) but it wasn't making sense. Found a video that finally helped it click.Especially considering I'd had that kit for over a year already! It was supposed to be last year's present.

Wow - that is a nice pattern - I do like to crochet but usually I just make those granny squares - okay, as far as Christmas goes, I'll take mine in a nice maroon colour (thanks!)
JK of course!
I can send you the link to the pattern and the video.Wow - that is a nice pattern - I do like to crochet but usually I just make those granny squares - okay, as far as Christmas goes, I'll take mine in a nice maroon colour (thanks!)

On a scale of babbling idiot to skilled artisté, where would this afghan fall?I can send you the link to the pattern and the video.
That's how I felt when I found that video!Break out the Rosetta stone.
I'd say intermediate level. If you've done single, double and triple crochet, you should be able to do this with the help of the video.
