Broomstick Crochet

Voila!!!!!!!!!!!

They are done.

My first solo dye job are knit into a pair of socks for miss 4 next month.

I am really pleased with the colour and how it knit up.

I have enough yarn left to knit a pair of socks for the youngest grand daughter for her 4th birthday next month.


Her 'tis!!!!!!!!!!!

This is "Broomstick crochet".

I only learnt how to do it on Tuesday and I now have my first finished article.

This is a scarf for Gemma's 4th birthday next month.

It took all of about 4 hours to make.

The yarn is a lovely pink yarn that came from a generous donation from I don't know where.

I can't remember just where it came from at the moment as there's been quite a bit of stash enhancement lately from where Katt and I sell our knitted items, Sharon's friend, a neighbour and also the local charity stores that I can't remember what came from where (insert blank look here).

I hope the scarf is well received by the recipient as it is lovely and warm and the miss almost 4 that lives in my house is not impressed that it isn't hers. (She already has about 5 or 6 scarves anyway).

I will have to show all the ladies who want to learn broomstick crochet at one of our S'n'B get togethers. (This may need to be an evening session so that Amanda can come and see as well).

Until next time keep on knitting.

  • ohhhh I am so jealous. I would love to learn how to do that, but of course, I don't think I can make the next SnB meeting (little thing called distance - you know what I mean hehe). It is gorgeous! Well done!

  • Lovely socks, little miss will love them. I can't recall that colour in Vickys stash.

    An evening broomstick crochet lesson would be a lot of fun.

  • That scarf is so cool! It looks like fairy floss. And the socks are so cute, the colours look amazing together. Well done again

  • Ohhh, this is so pretty. I have a bamboo stick and a pattern for an afghan using it...but it looks so intimidating, I am still looking at it thinking of doing it after 5 years!
