Tunisian crochet, honeycomb
Wordless admiration for own achievement. Isn't. This. Great. Almost wordless.
Having done one more stitch, I'm starting to see her point. But it's a mistake to insist that something's easy when you're teaching people struggling to learn it. It's discouraging. There's another yeacher, Crestive Grandma who has a better approach. She points out the beauty of the stitch pattern. That spurs you on to learn it.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. What a great throw that would make, or a long vesty sweater...
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like it too. However it's intensely sloooooow to work. I'm pleased with my first foray into a Tunisian stitch pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe YouTube instructor kept on emphasizing how eeeeeasy it is..to quote Dylan Thomas "oh, easy for Leonardo".
Hmmmm - methinks the You Tube instructor was stretching the truth a bit. Nice pattern though!
