Crochet Help!

[callistra]

I need to learn how to crochet booties etc. Any one like to help me and watch some Xena at the same time?

I received a lot of crocheted/knitted things for Clara when she was little, and to be honest I never used the booties. But I did use the cardigans and hats! And don't forget that these days the recommendation is to not have any dangling things for tying under their neck etc.

This may sound very weird, but I'm doing sets for stillborn babies. I saw it in a CWA magazine, and it's something I would be honoured to do for people who are greiving.

Personally, I never used any of the crocheted stuff from memory.

Oh, goodness. Good on you - I'd probably have trouble doing that, I wouldn't be able to see what I was working on through tears!

Along those lines, from what I understand it's very hard to get clothes to fit premmies. But then you have to be very careful about what wool you use.

I have clearly spent too much time around babalon because I read this as crochet boobies.

I could teach you at Swancon?

That would be wonderful. I am planning to be carrying around my wool and crochet hook
:-)

have you got patterns?

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Nope

I will see if I can find something on the net.

I think this looks like a nice simple pattern:

I might try it out if I have any spare time this week.

Oo, that *does* look like something I can learn.
Thank you!
