New Skill Series - Crochet Part 6
Life is less hectic now which means I have had time to crochet! So we're back to our regularly scheduled programming.
This is Crochet Lesson 5 Take 2! In case you missed it, Take 1 was a bit of a mess. Things went wrong and I had no clue where things went wrong or how to fix them. Thankfully, I do not exist in a vacuum! Both @legendarycollectionjellyfish3 and @caseyscozycorner were kind enough to comment and let me know their thoughts. You were both right! My core problem was my tension. I didn't have to go up a hook size but as seen below I was able to crochet a successful Moss/Linen stitch sample! The reason my first attempt curled was that because my stitches were so tight, I couldn't tell the difference between my chain space and my SC space so I was putting the hook in both instead of just the chain space, therefore dramatically increasing the number of stitches. At least I think that's why it curled. Thank you again for taking a moment to comment on my post because it really encouraged me to relax and try again!
So yeah, here's Linen/Moss stitch take 2! I'm glad I got some outside perspective from more experienced crocheters because I genuinely thought this was going to end up as like 3 failed attempts and then giving up to come back to at a later time. Mainly because I couldn't figure out what went wrong. It's wild to think how much tension makes a difference in a piece. I think I have a better grasp on tension for crochet now but I guess we'll find out as time goes on!
