mio Q. Is it possible to crochet with plastic lacing?
A. Yes.
Q. Is it a good idea to crochet with plastic lacing?
A. Probably not. (sc using a 6.5mm hook)
Q. How well does crochet-on-the-double using Bernat Baby Co-ordinates work up?
A. It was ok. I tried it using a 5mm double-ended hook.
Casting on with the yellow/white striped yarn:
Q. What does adding the second colour look like?
A. Like this (it’s purple/white) :
Q. Isn’t it silly to be using the crochet-on-the-double technique with two yarns that are white at the same time?
A. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Q. The yellow arrow is…?
A. That would be the spot where there’s supposed to be a stitch but there isn’t. I didn’t notice that until I was resizing the picture.
Q. And the red arrow, what is it pointing at?
A. The last row I used that strand of white on.
Q. Isn’t that several rows below where the hook is?
A. Yes.
Q. So that makes the last few rows…?
A. Tunisian crochet, yes.
Q. So you frogged it?
A. Yeah. (Rip it! Rip it!)
Q. Did there end up being a huge white area?
A. Biggish.
Q. It’s bigger on the other side, isn’t it.
A. I can’t help but notice that wasn’t a question…
I think that’s just an optical illusion…
Q. What did you learn from this experience?
A. Baby Co-ordinates looks pretty neat using crochet-on-the-double, but don’t use two yarns that have a shared colour if you plan on watching television while crocheting. (As an aside, the accidental Tunisian section looked lovely, too)
Last question, please!
Q. What are you going to make at work tomorrow?
A. Another baby blanket, of course!
